The Moscow government has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records for a video projection onto the building housing Russia's Defense Ministry, city news agency Moskva reported Sunday, citing the head of the capital's inter-regional relations and tourism department, Vladimir Chernikov.
The world record breaking video projection measured 19,099 square meters, state-run RIA Novosti news agency said Monday, citing a press release by the co-organizers of the light show, LBL group.
The show — part of the city-wide “Circle of Light” festival — had a running time of one hour and used a whopping 140 video projectors and 650 light fixtures, the report said.
The Circle of Light Festival celebrated its fifth anniversary this year, running from Sept. 26 to Oct. 4.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
