We would like to note that since the year of 2016, the Russian Geographical Society has been placing in Moscow thematic graffiti. Thus, at the corner of Arbat and Serebryaniy Lane there has appeared the picture of Polar Owl from the Wrangel Island, created based on the photos of Sergei Gorshkov. And the wall of the house on the Slavyanskaya square, 4/2 is decorated with the a great portrait of the great Russian traveler and anthropologist Nikolai Miklukho-Maklai. In March, 2017 in the capital there appeared "A Little Varg" graffiti on the wall at the entrance of «Tretyakovskaya» metro station with the support of the Moscow Metro. This is the image of a boy and his faithful friend - a manual peregrine falcon. The picture was taken on the Taz Peninsula by photographer Alexander Romanov.
