A unique 16-meter-long mural in honor of Emperor Nicholas II was opened in Yekaterinburg.
This is not just a portrait of a passionate king. This is a complete encyclopedia of Russia's achievements before the revolution - from the prosperity of science and record population growth to military reforms, energy development, construction of cities and railways, world championships in industry, agriculture and science.
The artist carefully worked out all the details with historians and experts on that period, the military outfit and the culture of that time.
