The exhibition dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the Rodina magazine opened at the Presidential Library

The Presidential Library is hosting a multimedia exhibition of the Rodina magazine, dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the publication.

“Today we have gathered to celebrate the important anniversary of the magazine, which publishing began in 1879 in St. Petersburg”, - said Igor Kots, deputy editor-in-chief of Rossiyskaya Gazeta, editorial director of Rodina magazine, opening the exhibition.

The Presidential Library’s active cooperation with the Rossiyskaya Gazeta has been established since 2012, when the North-West branch began providing informational support for events, exhibitions, and other events in the Presidential Library. In December 2016, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Presidential Library and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Then at the Senate Square, 3 was opened a multimedia exhibition "The Year of the Rodina magazine” 2016: historical events in people's stories". The exposition, which features the covers of the magazine's 2016 issues, was timed to the 15th anniversary of the North-West branch of Rossiyskaya Gazeta. In November 2017, the Presidential Library hosted the presentation of an updated version of the multimedia exhibition.

The organizations regularly hold joint events: for example, the authors of the Rodina history magazine participated in the Presidential Library’s video lectures.

As part of the cooperation agreement between the Presidential Library and the Rossiyskaya Gazeta from April 2017 in the building on Senate Square, 3 monthly presentations of the latest issues of the historical popular science magazine Rodina were held.

The exhibition dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the Rodina magazine will run until the end of the year.
