On April 29, at 1 p.m., the Gallery of the Institute for the Humanities and Information Technologies (IGUMO) opens the Road to Victory exhibition of war photography. The exhibition includes the works of three outstanding Soviet photographers: Mark Markov-Greenberg, Evgeny Khaldei, Arkady Shaikhet.
Each of the photographers courageously filmed the harsh realities of the Great Patriotic War: military actions, portraits of soldiers, and unseen and revealed deaths. With a camera in their hands, they flew out on missions in bombers and joined the attack, thus showing courage and heroism.
Mark Markov-Greenberg served as a signalman at the beginning of the war. He went into his first battle with a telephone wire reel and a FED camera. In 1942, he was transferred to the political department as a photographer, and then to the newspaper of the Fighter’s Word (Slovo Boytsa), the 48th army’s newspaper. Many of his war pictures have been included in textbooks today.
Evgeny Khaldei spent all the 1418 days of the war, from Murmansk to Berlin, with a camera in his hands. He captured the Paris meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the defeat of the Japanese in the Far East, the conference of the heads of the Allied Powers in Potsdam, raising the Red Flag over the Reichstag, the signing of the German surrender, the Nuremberg Process, and the Victory Parade.
Arkady Shaikhet filmed on the front as a correspondent of the Frontline Illustration newspaper. He witnessed military operations on various fronts, including near Moscow, near Stalingrad, on the Kursk Bulge, and during the capture of Berlin. Arkady Shaikhet photographed the meeting of the victorious soldiers at Belorussky Railway Station in summer 1945.
By studying the unique photos from the front, you will be able to get acquainted with the real evidence of the fateful events for our Homeland.
The opening of the exhibition will take place on April 29 at 1 p.m. in the IGUMO Gallery (1st floor of the college).
The exhibition will last until June 7. You can visit the event on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
