Lost in the woods of Russia's Kaluga region, Nikola-Lenivets art park is Europe's largest site for land art and contemporary design. Founded by Nikolay Polissky, it spans the Ugra Nature Reserve, becoming a major art hub still attracting artists worldwide. Recently, amidst rising military mood in Russia, the park remains committed to peace. Park's festivals like Archstoyanie, Maslenitsa, and Signal offer rare spaces of joy and freedoom, blending multiculturalism, pagan themes, and historical reinterpretation allowing visitors to escape from gloomy environment and embrace art, music, and unity.
