The fifth festival "Bridge Across the Ocean" in Yaroslavl, celebrating American culture, has opened. The cities of Burlington and Yaroslavl, with friendly relations established more than 25 years ago, will exchange experience in the areas of music, dance and photography. The guest of honor - US ambassador to Russia John Tefft - opened the festival. "It is very important to travel across Russia, to leave the outskirts of Moscow. It is very important to understand the Russian people," John Tefft said, having recalled the Russian proverb "A picture is worth a thousand words."
