Archstoyanie, Russia's largest land art and architecture festival, draws thousands of visitors to the ancient village of Nikola-Lenivets every year. This year festival took place on July 21-23. The festival translated as Archaic Standing was founded in 2006. For each festival specially invited architects create art objects made of natural materials. A part of its territory belongs to Ugra National Park, which is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. See the stunning land art objects — in this photo gallery by TASS.
