The book includes works by young talented photographers from the Organization’s member states: Bulgaria, India, Kyrgyzstan and Russia – online competition winners. In October 2025, Intersputnik, together with the Ministry of Digital Development and Innovative Technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic, organised for them a photo tour across the country. The photo album published following the trip, vividly and profoundly, accurately and emotionally conveys the national character of Kyrgyzstan, its uniqueness and tribute to folk traditions. It demonstrates a deep and inextricable connection between the past and future of this country. Many of the photos by young photographers in the album are captioned with quotes of the great Chingiz Aitmatov, a classic of Kyrgyz literature. During the photographers' travel across the country, a film was shot about how this photo album was created.
Ksenia Drozdova, Director General of Intersputnik, noted that the tour members were fortunate to see Kyrgyzstan’s greatest treasure: “Four young photographers from different countries spent a week traveling around the country, communicating with people of different generations and social groups and capturing what we believe is most important—the beauty in simplicity, the strength and love in human sincerity. Each of the photographers saw the richness of the Kyrgyz land and felt its energy in their own way.”
