ANDREÏ FILATOV

Domain's owner

"Since the creation of the Russian Art Foundation all our activities are aimed at promoting Russian culture to a wide audience. For me it's a very personal project. It is a love for the lost homeland. I was born and raised in the Soviet Union, a country that later disappeared, disintegrated, but left a huge legacy in the world of art and science. I remember the cultural environment in which I was formed. All this is very close and dear to me, and I would like to discover the history of this country and its culture to the greatest number of people in the world. "
