Historical dignity: A series of antifascist expositions in Donetsk (photo report)

We have recently visited Donetsk museum of Great Patriotic War where the exposition “Soviet Nuremberg” from the Moscow Central Museum of Great Patriotic War takes place.


Another two expositions arrived to Donetsk from Moscow — “We Fought Nazism Together” is now in Regional Museum and “Battle of Kursk” in Art Museum.

The former exposition tells about the contribution made by each of 15 Soviet Republics, which managed to together withstand the strike of the fascist beast and drive it to its lair. In the years of the war 11038 people were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, including 7998 Russians, 2029 Ukrainians, 299 Belorussians, 161 Tatars, 107 Jews and many representatives of other ethnicities. Victory is the deed of all of the Soviet people.
