The three-day exhibition dedicated to the parade of November 7, 1941 ended in Red Square. According to the press service of the Victory Museum, an open-air museum was organized here with real military equipment, models of residential buildings from the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and actors portraying scenes from everyday life in November 1941.
It was noted that digitized posters from the Victory Museum funds were used in creating the scene. In total, the Victory Museum donated approximately 50 digitized propaganda posters from the Great Patriotic War.
“These are posters from the TASS Windows series, as well as works by Kukryniksy, Pyotr Maltsev, Nikolai Dolgorukov and many other artists. They were released in the first, most difficult period of the war and called for the fight against the enemy and instilled faith in Victory in Soviet citizens. The posters helped recreate the atmosphere of 1941, and visitors found themselves on the streets of the capital, which the whole country stood up to protect,” said the Victory Museum.
Red Square also hosted theatrical performances about the lives of ordinary citizens during the decisive events of the autumn of 1941. Visitors were shown military equipment from the Great Patriotic War at the Vadim Zadorozhny Museum of Technology: T-34 tank, AZP-39 anti-aircraft gun, FAI-M armored car and much more. Guests can also sing wartime songs at karaoke. Zafer Museum also donated the recordings of these compositions to the exhibition.
Let us also remind you that the Victory Museum has been participating in the creation of an interactive open-air museum for the second year. The producer and artistic director of the exhibition is General Director of VoenFilm Studio, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Igor Ugolnikov.
