The Lapland Nature Reserve lies in the heart of the Kola Peninsula. It was founded in the early 20th century to restore the population of the wild reindeer. Today, over a thousand of these majestic creatures roam the protected area. They migrate through blizzards in search of reindeer moss. Nature has adapted these animals to endure the Arctic, and humanity has done everything to ensure that, at least in this protected corner of the earth, the harmony of the wild world is protected.
Sokolniki Park is often compared to a kind, old acquaintance or a friendship which has passed the test of time. In the 20th century, due to its unique beam layout, Sokolniki received the status of a monument of landscape art. This park strives to preserve the traditions of leisure in Russia’s capital city which has evolved over decades — even centuries. Sokolniki Park is a place where anyone — regardless of age and interests — can find something to do and a place that speaks to them. During Soviet times the park hosted international chess tournaments in which great masters of the game took part and this passion for chess continues today. Those who lead a healthy lifestyle can find a variety of athletic clubs at Sokolniki Park while an amusement park has been built for child audiences.
