Exhibition 15-58 presenting photos and documents about the struggle for preservation of the long-suffering Khimki Forest will be held in Moscow.
The opening will take place on Monday, December, 20th, in the Andrey Sakharov Museum and Social Center.
15-58 means kilometers of the high-speed toll highway Moscow — Petersburg, which is planned to be laid through the Khimki woodland, which is an important part of the protective wood belt around Moscow.
Last summer it became a battlefield of representatives of various social spheres: common dwellers of Khimki, ecologists, right radicals and football fans, a Baptist bishop, who was at the same time the prime contractor conducting deforestation, anti-fascists, and many others.
The exhibition will run till February, 1st, 2011.
