Marking the 75th Anniversary of the Great Victory: New online project "By Bullet and Word" launched in Saint-Petersburg in the State Literary Museum "XX Century"

The State Literary Museum "XX Century" in Saint-Petersburg launched a new project "By Bullet and Word". It is devoted to the 75th anniversary of the Victory and Leningrad writers - war participants.

"Our story is about people who spoke with soldiers from the pages of central newspapers and frontline editions, broadcasted a radio newspaper, participated in combat flights and long sea voyages, went on the attack and took command", said the authors of the project.

The virtual exhibition is part of a large project. The State Literary Museum "XX Century" releases the next part of the virtual exhibition about one of the frontline writers every day on the social networks. These are stories, poems, stories of writers, as well as audio and video records.

Among the heroes of the exhibition are Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky, Alexander Gitovich, Veniamin Kaverin.

"They, as fully-formed writers, put all their heart and soul into the striking word of a military journalist. It was vital for the fighters - it made them forget about fear and death, it made the soldiers stronger", added the organizers.
