The edition is devoted to the history of the Mon Repos – a manor house and landscaped park lying along the shoreline of the Zashchitnaya inlet of the Vyborg Bay in Vyborg, Russia. The park occupies about 180 hectares (440 acres) of land. Among the park designers were such architects like D. Martinelli, Auguste de Montferrand, A. Shtakenshneider, Ch.Tetam, artists Ya. Mattenleiter, and P.Gonzago. The area of the park is marked by special physical and geographical features, like the old Wiborgite Granite, which is named after Vyborg, and glacial formations of up to 20 metres high. In this nature reserve, 50 species of different plants can be found, some of them being rare. Its fauna is diverse as well: the park abounds in numerous birds and animals.
