Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's photograph of the Tobolsk Kremlin (the fortress in a Siberian town of Tobolsk) sold for 51 million rubles ($1.7 million) at a charity auction in St. Petersburg.
Medvedev's photo was snapped up by Mikhail Zingarevich, a board member at Ilim Group, the pulp and paper company where Medvedev was a co-owner at 1990s. Zingarevich said he planned to hang the picture in his office.
Proceeds of the auction will go to buy furniture for World War II veterans receiving long-promised apartments, equipment for a children's hospital and a new kitchen for an alcohol rehabilitation center.

Contemporary Art Exhibition "Look!" opened today in Novosibirsk.
The opening was very exciting: pornographic pictures on the walls were in abundance, the musicians were wonderful, a cultural critic Sergey Samoilenko talked to vice-governor Andrei Filichev, as a modern artist Slava Mizin of the "Blue Noses" group launched fireworks from his own pants.
And this, my friends, is the primary sensation of the evening: Gary Oldman came to the opening of the exhibition in Novosibirsk!
Mr Oldman friendly talked to local residents and even made a commentary for TV. By the way, Robin Williams came to Novosibirsk to watch the total solar eclipse last year.
