An impression of Russia will never be fully complete if one thinks that Russia is only Moscow and St. Petersburg. It also has numerous ancient cities and villages. In the central part of Russia, there are such magnificent places as Kholui, Khideksha, Rostov, Dunilovo and Suzdal, which are depicted with love by the artist on this magnificent work. The painter chose Dunilovo village as a central place in his art. Dunilovo is one of the most beautiful suburbs in Russia. A total of 10 monasteries have grown in this village, which nowadays is a part of Svyato-Uspensky female Monastery.
