Siberian Cranes at the ornithological station "Kushevat" in Yamal. In the background: a motorized hang glider, at the helm of which Russian President Vladimir Putin made three flights - the first to get familiar with the process and the other two with the birds as part of the "Flight of Hope" project, which aims to show the nursery-reared birds their flying route.
