This is a photograph of an outdoor informational display in Kazan, Russia. The display is oriented vertically and features text in both Russian and Tatar. The main subject of the display is Arkady Frantsevich Koshko, a legendary figure in criminal investigation.

The display includes several historical photographs:
*   The first photo shows a street scene with a building labeled "HOMEPA" and "ГОНОВА." It is captioned as the "France" hotel on Voskresenskaya Street.
*   The second photo is a black and white image of a large domed building, identified as the Pyatnitskaya Church and the Kazan Bogoroditsky Monastery.
*   The third photo depicts a grand, multi-story building, labeled "Kazanskaya Shamov Hospital."

The text describes Koshko's investigation in Kazan related to the theft of icons, mentioning his stay at the "France" hotel and the involvement of a merchant's wife, Agrafena Shamova. It also notes the subsequent construction of the Shamov Hospital, funded by her husband, which still exists today as a hotel. The text discusses Koshko's departure from the city and the lack of conclusive evidence against the Shamovs.

The display is mounted on a dark metal frame, and a portion of a wooden structure is visible in the foreground to the left. The background appears to be a paved surface. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
