Scenic Bay
Scenic Bay is a picturesque coastal area known for its stunning natural beauty, featuring clear waters, sandy beaches, and lush surroundings.

Today, Scenic Bay often attracts tourists seeking relaxation and outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, and wildlife observation.
Krasnogorsk
Krasnogorsk is a city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located just northwest of Moscow. Founded in 1932, it became a significant center for the Soviet and later Russian film industry, housing the famous Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant which produced cameras and optical equipment. Today, it is known for its historical ties to cinema, as well as being home to the Russian State Archive of Film and Photo Documents.
Beresta
“Beresta” refers to birch bark, a traditional material used in Russian crafts and writing since ancient times. Historically, it was widely used by Slavic peoples for creating everyday items, such as containers and shoes, as well as for writing (e.g., the medieval *Novgorod Birch Bark Manuscripts*). Today, beresta art remains a valued folk craft, often featuring intricate carvings and paintings.
