Memory of Russia: Exhibition “In the ring of translation. 1941”, timed ro the 75th anniversary of the day of the Marina Tsvetaeva’s death, in Moscow

The exhibition "In the Ring of Translation. 1941", presenting the chronicle of the life of Tsvetaeva's family in 1941, is timed to the 75th anniversary of the death of Marina Tsvetaeva and the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. The opening took place in the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum (Moscow) on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, June 22, 2017.

In 1941, Marina Tsvetaeva and her family "fell into a ring". These were endless translations: literary - for earnings, money - to the prison for husband and daughter; spatial - until the last move to Yelabuga.

Tsvetaeva's dialogue with Soviet reality and European culture, contemporaries, historical circumstances (war, evacuation, repression) is represented by rare materials, some of which are exhibited for the first time. Diary texts by Georgy Efron lead the viewer through the exposition, accompanying sound - broadcast from a loudspeaker radio recordings in 1941 and fragments of diaries by Marina Tsvetaeva and Georgy Efron, written specially for the exhibition by actors Alisa Grebenschikova and Yury Titov.

Before the evacuation Marina Tsvetaeva leaves for safekeeping in the Novodevichy Monastery a part of her archives in the chest, which is literally "random" will then, on the return from exile, disassemble her daughter Ariadna Efron. The same principle - to extract text, documents, photographs, "unzipping" of history - visitors are invited to try and they will be able to do it themselves revealing "chests, cabinets", in which "laid" a year of life Tsvetaeva and her family. At the exhibition "In the Ring of Translation. 1941" the visitor will be able to get unique experience.

The exhibition is based on the materials of the Marina Tsvetaeva House Museum, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art and the private collection of Lev Mnukhin.
