Wall Calendar

The 2020 Russian Life Wall Calendar, "Remote Russia," features beautiful photography of some of the remotest places in Russia, by photographers Kirill Uyutnov and Ekaterina Vasyagina, who share their stories of how they captured their amazing images.

Many of these places will never be seen by more than a few people, and by even fewer non-Russians. Because not only are many of these places forbidding and remote, some are quite simply off-limits.
