Memorable dates of Russia: The "Energy of Dreams" project, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Revolution of 1917, will be presented by the State Historical Museum

In 2017, the State Historical Museum (Moscow) will present the project "Energy of Dreams", which is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Great October Revolution. One of the first exhibitions will be held in Switzerland, then it will be shown in Berlin, and in early October, a large exposition will be open in the Historical Museum, said director of the museum Alexei Levykin. 

For the first time it will be presented a set of archival materials - namely to ensure that everyone can draw their own conclusions.

"The working title of the project - "Energy of Dreams", but the energy can be different - creative and destructive. Therefore, our approach will be very careful. We will try to show the events of the revolution, its development and the first years of the life of the young Soviet state, on the basis of our collection as well as with the involvement of the materials of our partners - the State Archive of the Russian Federation, RGASPI, the A. V. Shchusev Museum of Architecture, the State Tretyakov Gallery", - said Alexey Levykin.

The Historical Museum - one of the largest museums in the world and the largest in Russia. Its funds involve more than 5 million exhibits and 14 million pages of documents. Every year the museum is visited by over 1.5 million people. February 9, 2017 the museum will celebrate its 145th anniversary.
