EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Vasily Maximov from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the festive spirit of Christmas comes alive in the heart of Moscow. The image showcases a bustling scene at Red Square, where people leisurely stroll near the annual Christmas fair, creating an enchanting atmosphere that is both joyous and magical. With St. Basil's Cathedral standing tall in the background, its vibrant colors and intricate architecture add to the allure of this winter wonderland. The iconic cathedral acts as a beacon, drawing visitors towards it like moths to a flame. The photograph was taken on November 29,2016, when Moscow was adorned with twinkling lights and ornate decorations to celebrate the upcoming holiday season. As snowflakes gently fall from above, families and friends can be seen exploring various stalls filled with traditional Russian treats, handmade crafts, and delightful trinkets. The image beautifully captures the essence of community as people gather together to embrace the joys of Christmas amidst a backdrop steeped in history and culture. It serves as a reminder that no matter where we come from or what language we speak, there are certain moments that unite us all – such as sharing laughter over steaming cups of mulled wine or marveling at beautifully crafted ornaments. Vasily Maximov's skillful lens has immortalized this snapshot in time—a testament to Russia's enduring traditions during one of its most cherished seasons.
