Memory of Russia abroad: Exhibition in Tel Aviv showcases history of Russia’s military glory

To mark the Russian holiday – Defender of the Fatherland Day – the Russian Cultural Center in Tel Aviv has launched a history and art exhibition of editions from its library’s holdings.

The exposition features memoirs by famous Russian and Soviet military leaders, biographical, military and historical research, best works of the Soviet military prose and poetry, as well as albums and posters of the time of the Great Patriotic War.
