Fragility and Strength
The butterfly embodies fragility and strength. Its wings, woven from legends and traditions, carry the cultural values of our peoples. The flutter of a butterfly’s wing — barely perceptible, delicate, yet capable of changing the course of time. So speaks the ancient wisdom that crosses the borders of Eurasia, from the snow-covered expanses of Russia to the blooming valleys of Asia.
Today we unite the threads of traditions, weaving them into a unique tapestry — and the symbol of this unity is the butterfly.
