These amazing murals are located in one of the cities of Komi Republic.

🔻In this simple painting, the artist tells a story of ordinary, yet magical, everyday life. Here, the masculine and feminine principles unite, and from their love, a new living person emerges. Here, summer flows into winter, day into night, and the past flows into the future through the sacred moment of the present.

🔻The painting depicts local flora and fauna, as well as the Ural Mountains and the Pechora River, descending from the ridges of the Northern Urals into the plains of the taiga.

🔻The murals were created in 15 days.

Swallow's Nest Castle, nestled on a sheer cliff overlooking the Black Sea in Crimea, is a sight that will take your breath away.

🔻The castle was built in 1912 by a wealthy Russian industrialist,  Baron von Steingel.

🔻The original structure was a small wooden villa, but it was later replaced with a more elaborate stone castle, drawing inspiration from medieval German architecture.

🔻Sadly, the castle was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in 1927.

🔻Despite its beautiful exterior, the palace is still at risk of collapse. The cliff beneath it was once cracked, and a large piece of it has already fallen into the water.

🔻The landmark has often appeared on movie screens.

🔻There is a flooded cave in the cliff beneath the Swallow's Nest. Many archaeologists believe that ancient people may have once lived here. One of the walls there is coal black.

🔻The castle is very compact in size. It occupies only 120 square meters, but it is 12 meters high.
