For the first time, compatriots held the festival in Hong Kong in 2017. Back then, the works of Russian wildlife photographer Mikhail Korostelev aroused great interest among the public. Visitors enjoyed looking at the moments of life of Kamchatka bears captured in the photo. This year, Mikhail Korostelev also presented his photographs and gave a lecture, which gathered a full house.
