Exhibition programme
The exhibition “Yamal Attraction”. Russia is more than you would think. Russia is brighter than you would think.
Next to the centres of industrial gas and oil extraction, right in the energy heart of Russia, live the fascinating northern people, the Nenets, just as they did centuries ago, maintaining their way of life and traditions. They heat their dwellings made of reindeer skins by fire and graze their herds of thousands of reindeer on the endless tundra. Here, the Nenets live without rush of modern cities.
They live in a real, honest world, where man does not conquer nature and does not cover everything with asphalt.
How's that? You can see.
Feel the “Yamal Attraction”.
