Russia’s seasonal Snow Village in the northern town of Kirovsk has once again sprung up ahead of its official opening on December 25th.<br /><br /> This year’s icy architectural wonder consists of igloo-like exhibition halls featuring the work of twenty artists.<br /><br /> Organisers have refused to give away the theme of the 2016 event, but some of the work already in place, such as a bear playing the balalaika, appear to suggest that ‘Russia in the eye of the foreigner’ may be a unifying concept.<br />The village will officially open to visitors from December 25th and runs until April.<br />No Comment | euronews: watch the international news without commentary | http://www.euronews.com/nocomment/
