The TASS photo exhibition is open in Moscow. It is dedicated to the second anniversary of Crimea and Russia reunification. The name of the exhibition «Three colors of Crimea» is intended to demonstrate indisputability of the decision of population of Crimea to be reunited with Russia, to show that the peninsula has always been an integral part of our motherland. Three colors – as in the national flag of the Russian Federation, which now is waving above the peninsula, are reflected in the life of Crimea as well: white color symbolizes freedom and bright future, blue is for the sea and the sky, red is for the grapes, architectural monument and beautiful people.
There are presented more than 200 photos in the exposition. Part of them, for instance, the sights of the famous Konstantinovsky battery, are made with the support of the Russian Geographical Society. Crimea appears in various guises: as the territory with rich history and culture, huge investment potential, exceptionally beautiful nature and a variety of other features.
