A unique book of collected of poems by front poets is featured in the Presidential Library

The “War and Peace: the Great Patriotic War (1941—1945) in Russian Poetry of the XX-XXI century” will be added to the Presidential Library stock. This was announced today, December 13, 2017, over the course of a teleconference organized by the Information and Educational Center of the Presidential Library in the Tyumen Oblast. An anthology of front-line poetry was presented in four cities at once: St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tyumen and Omsk.

As we speak, the collection is presented in five volumes. The memorial edition dedicated to the feat of the USSR peoples in the Great Patriotic War introduces the poetry works of the fighters and rear hands, whose creative work is unknown to a wide audience. According to the adviser to the Governor of the Tyumen Oblast Alexander Novopashin, this anthology is unique because it gives everyone a chance to feel empathy to the destinies of those who won for us the great Victory. According to the idea of the authors, the project will consist of 10 parts. Five more volumes will be compiled from the works of the authors of the post-war generations.

Director of the Tyumen Regional Scientific Library named after D. I. Mendeleyev Olga Adamovich pointed out an outreach part of the implemented project. She specified that the anthology will go to all libraries of the Tyumen Oblast, and expressed a hope for its soonest inclusion in the digital fund of the Presidential Library.

The presentation took place according to the work plan of the information and educational center of the Presidential Library in the Tyumen Oblast, which in 2018 will celebrate 2 years from the day of its establishing. During this time, many significant events were held on its premises with participation of the heads of state authorities, leading journalists of the region, leaders of public opinion, etc. Among the most striking projects is the presentation of a book of Philotheus Leshchinsky “Siberian Ladder of Divine Ascent.” In addition, two All-Russian photography competitions focused on Siberia were successfully held.

The cooperation of the Presidential Library with the Tyumen Oblast is actively developing. In 2018, several large-scale events are planned in the information and educational center.
