Russians' #NoFilter dreams come true with the aurora borealis

On the evening of March 17, people across central Russia (including those in Moscow) were treated to a spectacular display of the Northern Lights.
Many of the photographs posted to social media by eyewitnesses failed to capture the spectacle, but some of the images were truly amazing. Meduza presents the best from the Web on a night the sky over Russia lit up.
