The Presidential Library showcases the history of Kirishi

December 18, 2018 at 14:00 the Presidential Library will host the multimedia exhibition "Komsomol Volunteers... Kirishi - my Destiny", dedicated to the volunteer movement on the example of the All-Union Komsomol youth strike construction, which was announced in Kirishi twice, in 1963 and 1973.

The exhibition is based on unique photographs from Kirishi residents’ personal archives, photographs from the funds of the Kirishi Museum of Regional History, transferred to the Presidential Library. These materials, which formed the basis of the electronic collection “Kirishi and Kirishi district of Leningrad Region”, available on the library’s portal, captured the moments of construction of industrial and social facilities on the war land, volunteer clean-ups, tourist programs, conferences and congresses. A special place is given to Kirishi natives, who were awarded honorary awards and titles.
