Residents in this eastern Cuban city and visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Russian architecture during the photographic exhibition “El norte ruso” (The Northern Part of Russia) from February 20 through March 2.

Some 50 images captured by the lens of artist Guennadiy Smirnov show constructions in old cities like Vologda, Dmitrov and Kirilov, among others.
  
Irina Samsonova, coordinator of the Russian community in Holguin, said that the exhibition represents a cultural bridge between the two nations and an opportunity for Cubans to appreciate, from art, the history and geography of the most extensive territory in the world.
