The lecture was held at Vasili’s III of Russia Palace in Moscow and was accompanied by watching famous Hollywood films, such as: 2012, Apocalypto, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skul, Wonder Woman 1984, The Road to El Dorado, etc., in which the audience, together with the lecturer, found ancient hieroglyphs, revealed its meaning, and also discovered which hieroglyphs are real, and which are just drawing for the film.
On May 7, 2010, an exhibition of one painting by the 15-16th century Italian artist Raphael Santi was opened at the at the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Tatarstan in Kazan.
The work «Madonna of Loreto» by Raphael was delivered from Nizhny Tagil to Saransk, later to Kazan, accompanied by security guards. Citizens of Saransk and Kazan were able to enjoy the great master’s painting through the help of the founder of the Foundation «Art of the Nations» Alexander Shadrin, who covered the costs of transportation and insurance of the art work.
The painting is based on a well-known Gospel story: the artist shows Mary and Joseph admiring the awakened baby Jesus Christ.
The main location of this work is the Nizhniy Tagil Museum of Fine Arts. It is generally thought that in Nizhny Tagil the painting experienced its rebirth in 1924. That is why the work «Madonna of Loreto» is also called «Madonna of Nizhny Tagil».
