Russia’s national emblem may be a double-headed eagle, but the bear is the country’s unofficial mascot and is widely associated with it. While most people prefer cats and dogs as pets, Russians have a special affinity for bears as their companions. In today’s story, we will introduce you to Veronica Dichka, a resident of Novosibirsk, and her loyal companion, Archie, who was rescued from a circus by Maya Kirsanova as a cub. Along with several other bears, Archie lived in a safari park until it had to shut down due to the pandemic. As the shelter became difficult to maintain, Veronica stepped up and adopted Archie, with whom she had previously worked on a few photoshoots. Although they were merely acquaintances before, they are now inseparable, and the pictures they share prove the special bond they share.
After the local zoo was shut down due to the pandemic, Veronica decided to adopt Archie, a bear who didn’t have a secure place to stay. She took it upon herself to provide a home for the animal and take care of its needs.
