A renowned Russian blogger Pavel Stepanov has made a film about ISTP SB RAS and their brainchild – the National Heliogeophysical Complex of RAS, whose facilities are currently under construction in Buryatia and Irkutsk region.
As the author notes on his TG channel https://t.me/stepanovnm/5005, "thanks to the implementation of this project, the Tunka Valley is turning into a scientific center – research of the Sun and solar-terrestrial relations using cutting-edge instruments will be launched here. And we'll show you how it all happens."
