Memory of the World: The exhibition "Created by Peter the Great", dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Consulate in Gdansk will open in Poland

The Russian Center for Science and Culture in Gdansk, Poland, hosts an exhibition "Created by Peter the Great", dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Consulate in Gdansk.

In 1716-1717 the king personally visited the city. One consequence of these visits was the establishment in Danzig (which the city wore in 1308-1466 and 1793-1945) of a permanent Russian mission.

In 1717, at the direction of Peter I, a convention was concluded with the city of Gdansk, containing the phrase: "The Russian Agent has a stay in Danzig".

The exhibition was prepared jointly with the Moscow State United Museum-Reserve and the Regional Historical and Art Museum (Kaliningrad) with the participation of Gdańsk museums.
