Russian Honorary Consul in Monaco, Claude Pallanca, was donated by Crystal starlet - a symbol of the Saratov region and books of our province.
Great impression on the guests of the show have made portraits of Vladimir Putin and Albert II. Portrait of His Highness Albert II was later purchased and presented to him on the day a national holiday in Monaco. The prince was pleased with the portrait. At the moment, there is a portrait of his family castle.
A portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin like the guests for his smart and kind eyes, they wanted to buy, but we responded: "Putin is not for sale."
