Athanasius Nikitin arrived in India much earlier than Vasco da Gama and became the first European to leave notes on his stay on the peninsula, including a description of the political structure, trade, agriculture, customs and traditions of India at that time.
The expedition managed to identify several settlements in the territory of modern India, mentioned in the text of "A Journey Beyond the Three Seas" and previously not decipherable. Rich numismatic material was also collected.

The results of the expedition will be included in the new edition of "A Journey...", which is currently being prepared for release.

The Russian House in New Delhi hosted a screening of the film "White Tiger" as part of the weekly film screenings dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.

A special film screening took place within the walls of the Russian House in New Delhi – a demonstration of the film "White Tiger" by director Karen Shakhnazarov, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. This profound, mystical and philosophical film became not just another war film, but a reflection on the nature of war, its inexorable essence and heroism that knows no bounds of time.

The film, based on real events, combines historical accuracy with mysterious legends. The mysterious "White Tiger" – an inexplicable, ghostly tank that brings death on the battlefield – becomes a symbol of the eternal struggle between good and evil, a war that never ends as long as its ghosts are alive.
The Indian audience greeted the film with particular trepidation. "A stunning and profound film about war. "White Tiger" is not just a tank, it is the spirit of war, and the immortal soldier pursuing it is a reminder that the memory of war will never fade," viewers shared their impressions.
