9 November 2010

Photo exhibition of the photo correspondent Nikolai Khandogin has been mounted at the German-Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshorst. Nikolai Khandogin had been working during the whole war as the correspondent of the front-line newspaper “On the Guards of Homeland”. “This exposition covers three thematic lines: the Finnish-Soviet “Winter” war, the Siege of Leningrad, and Liberation of Leningrad”, told the exhibition curator Margot Blank.

The exhibition puts on display 94 photographs. The photographer had to work in terrible conditions of war and siege, and developed pictures in the cold, and museum workers have carried out a hard work to put on show the photos in high quality. Visitors can see the footage of the daily life of soldiers during the war with Finland, pictures of the siege and liberation of the city of Leningrad.

The museum administration plans to offer the Nikolai Khandogin photo collection to be put on show in Moscow.
