The photo exhibition "The Most Beautiful Country" of the Russian Geographical Society was opened at the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Warsaw

The Russian Center for Science and Culture in Warsaw hosted a photo exhibition of the Russian Geographical Society, which is timed to coincide with the Year of Ecology in Russia. The exposition presents works devoted to wildlife. Behind every picture there is a whole story, but most importantly - not a single photograph looks like the other. After all, each contestant has his own "most beautiful country".

The main goal of a large-scale photo competition is the education of a careful attitude to the environment through the art of photography. The best work was determined by a competent jury headed by the President of the Russian Geographical Society Sergei Shoigu.

At the opening of the photo exhibition the head of the Rossotrudnichestvo in Poland, Igor Zhukovsky, said: "The beauty of our vast country inspires and impresses. We are glad that we were able to show the works of winners and finalists of the I and II All-Russian photo contest "The Most Beautiful Country" in Warsaw.

Photos were evaluated in the following categories: "The most beautiful country. Landscape", "Peoples of Russia", "Animals", "Young Photographer", "Birds", "The World in Our Hands", "Industrial Landscape", "The Escaping Heritage", "Underwater World", "Protected Russia", "Macromir" and "Black and white nature". Winners in each nomination can be seen in the photo gallery presented at the exhibition.

The guests were able to make an exciting trip across Russia, as well as watch a fascinating video about the history of the creation and development of one of the oldest geographical societies in the world.

The portal of the Presidential Library presents the electronic collection "Natural Wealth of Russia", which included materials on the history of discovery, study, development and protection of Russia's natural resources. The special section contains information on the history of natural reserves and other protected areas. In addition, the Red Books of all constituent entities of the Russian Federation are represented in the same section of the section "Flora and Fauna".
