Which of us in childhood did not dream of being in the fairy tale “Frost” or “Twelve Months”? I did not imagine that sparkling snow is precious stones, and Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden will come out of the forest, and other fairy-tale characters behind them.

But when we grow up, we stop believing in fairy tales and miracles, only occasionally do we furtively imagine ourselves in a fabulous winter forest. In the crystal silence of which the snow crunches a little and a fussy tit rushes to share news with us.

No matter how old we are, but the real winter seems to us to be fluffy snowdrifts, green spruces, blue skies and frost, biting by the cheeks.

Is there really such a place? Residents of a big city are extremely difficult to believe in its reality. Meanwhile, such a place really exists. With its trails and secrets. Crystal air and silence. A place where the trees are 300 years old and they wisely nod their gray peaks to the beat of our thoughts and smile a little condescendingly, catching amazed eyes.

The personal exhibition of Yevgeny Zhilyaev “Secrets of the Okovsky Forest” invites us for a fabulous walk in the Central Forest Reserve, located in the Tver Region, whose total area is more than 705 square meters. km This is an amazing place that has preserved its pristine beauty and unique flora and fauna, which could easily be described in many fairy tales we have known since childhood.

Well then, go ahead! On the magical paths of the Okovsky Forest, each of us will surely meet a good magician or a wise Leshiy, not to mention real wild animals, snowdrifts of human height and the opportunity so much desired for every tired traveler to be in silence with himself in the night before a fire stove.

We heartily congratulate our beautiful author on the exhibition and wish him new creative successes!!
