Federal Agency on Affairs of nationalities of Russia announces the start of the II International contest “Russian civilization”.
“This photo contest is very difficult, but interesting task: to convey through photographs of his understanding and attitude towards such a multi-faceted, and partly even philosophical concept of Russian civilization. Last year many participants and photographers by name, and Amateurs – were able to show the Russian civilization as the intertwining of cultures and traditions of the peoples who speak the Russian language, regardless of the countries where they live. That is why, despite its debut, the photo contest of “Russian civilization” has collected more than 10 thousand images from 1.8 thousand people from 28 countries. I am sure that this year it will be even bigger and more interesting. Looking forward to your first work”, – said the head of the FAEA Igor Barinov, who heads the jury of the photo contest.
