In his speech, T. Tsybikov said: “The anniversary exhibition is a very important educational value, it traces the development of the traditions that have survived to the present day, and their value for modern Buryat people. The photo exhibition is replete with a variety of faces, good and not very good with their character traits, inner world, activity. But all these faces have a common feature – sincerity – a feature inherent in all the Buryat people”.
A welcome address of Vice President of the FPLB B.Tsyrenov to the participants of the exhibition was read on behalf of the Fund for Protection of Lake Baikal. It says, in part: “The main attraction of Buryatia – a World Heritage Site, one of the Seven Wonders of Russia – Lake Baikal.
