The programme — organised by the Russian Honorary Society and the Russian Geographical Society — was inaugurated by filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan. Writer Paul Zacharia and UAE consulate general representative Muhammed Alshamsi also attended the function.

Putting on the VR gear, Adoor and Zacharia lauded the initiative as they explored the scenic geography of Russia. "At some point, I felt as if I was inside the woods," said Adoor after watching the VR show. Zacharia pointed out that the high quality visuals provided a unique experience.
