Our Feelings of Flight

Чувства летающих

Also known as Chuvstva letayushchikh

Every two years Zhukovsky, a city situated 42 km from Moscow, hosts an international aerospace exhibition MAKS on a former military airfield with around 300,000 visitors per day. Tsagovsky Forest around the airfield is made of pine trees and called the lungs of Moscow. In 2012 an illegal deforestation took place to build a wider highway towards the aerospace exhibition, which led to mass protests and arrests of activists.
