Kazan Tourism Ad

We recently found this tourism advertisement for Kazan. It appears to have been released sometime last year.  The ad features many beautiful views of Kazan and creates an almost Disney-like image of this historic city. While we found the text of the ad to be a bit over-the-top, it is certainly worth viewing. Perhaps a trip to Kazan is in order?
