Today, the exhibition says the Director of the state Archives of Russia Larisa Rogova:
– our insert is a unique correspondence, which shows how important was the personal diplomacy of the leaders of the Big three. Thanks to her, and had taken key decisions that determined the course of the war. Very bright letters of Stalin, his edit: it perfectly conveys his personal attitude and participation. By the way, there is no document that he would not personally rule. All elegance of language, on the one hand, very diplomatic, and on the other, and with the statement of its concern, and even discontent decisions.
There are documents, which are presented in our country for the first time. For example, I was struck by the appeal of General Eisenhower to the allied soldiers. He said June 5, 1944: “You are in the Great crusade, toward which we have been preparing for many months. The eyes of all the people of the world directed at you… it was a turning point. Free people all over the world together creates win!”. General admonishes its soldiers very heartfelt words. This is a new document that was provided to us by the Presidential library and the Eisenhower House.
Online now you can see not all. When the museums and give us their exhibits for the exhibition, visitors will see a magnificent picture Gerasimova “Tehran conference” and other canvases that convey the atmosphere of the time, so we can together with the documents to dive into it and better understand.
In the “real world” will show posters of the war period from the Museum of contemporary history of Russia, the former Museum of the revolution. Very interesting posters published abroad and is dedicated to military action. For example, the American poster “Help him not to fall. He fights for us” – this was propaganda to support the red army in its fight against Nazism.
not Yet able to exhibit large canvases of the period of the great Patriotic war, such as “the signing of the Anglo-Soviet agreement may 26, 1942,” which gave the Soviet government an English painter of Salisbury. It is kept in the Historical Museum. We were able to provide only photos, it was easy “to bring” in digital form.
After the pandemic, you will see the war heroes, for example, the American pilots. Will be presented and pens that signed the fateful agreement, and telephones, which was the connection. I hope that after the removal of all quarantine measures, we can show the exhibition in full.
