In 2001, PETROMED Holding supported Zimin Publishing House to carry out CalendART projects presenting hits of St.- Petersburg outstanding culture personalities.

People of different age fall under their charm and unconditionally recognize these characters to be theirs. The calendar is multipurpose: it proceeds with the original game with the same little pets. The edition has partly been donated to children from children's homes, kindergartens and educational institutions, and children's hospitals. [read in details>>]
