Students from the State University of Management visited the large-scale exhibition "Great Victory. Russia – My History" at the Manezh Central Exhibition Complex, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
First-year students majoring in Advertising and Public Relations, accompanied by instructors Alexandra Timokhovich and Elena Dianina, were introduced to historical artifacts spanning the period from the Nazi invasion of the USSR to the end of World War II. They also saw the personal belongings of World War II heroes, original government decrees, and documents attesting to the atrocities committed by the invaders and the horrific treatment of Soviet prisoners of war and civilians by the occupiers.
"The exhibition space is modern and interactive. Touch tables, video panels, 3D models, and sound immerse us in the atmosphere of the war years. We explored letters, maps, and biographies of the heroes and victims of German expansion. We saw symbolic 125 grams of bread from the Siege of Leningrad and a reconstruction of the hall where the Nuremberg Trials took place. The multimedia tools not only allowed us to explore specific topics in detail but also evoked a sense of emotional engagement and empathy," noted first-year student Daria Kozyrenko.
The exhibition contains more than 700 unique exhibits and over 500 archival documents, and is presented in 15 thematic halls. As visitors move through them, they sequentially explore the main periods of the war.
"I was deeply impressed by Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya's diary and the items found on the concentration camp grounds—children's clothes, boots, a doll… We were literally immersed in the tragic events of our history. The Victory Banner hoisted over the Reichstag logically concludes the exhibition route. We felt a sense of pride in being the descendants of the people who achieved the Great Victory," shared first-year student Valentina Menshchikova.
