The Great Victory, the 80th anniversary of which is celebrated this year, holds a significant place in Russian history. The UrFU Library invites you to a series of book exhibitions dedicated to the people and events of wartime (1941–1945). The Liberal Arts & Humanities Reading Room (19 Mira Street, Room Б-203) will present the historical and documentary exhibition “The Day the War Ended”, featuring books about the harsh realities of war, heroism, courage, and resilience, as well as decisive battles and events of the final stage of the Great Patriotic War (this is a term used in Russia to describe the conflict fought of World War II during the period from June 22, 1941, to May 9, 1945, primarily between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany). These are books about soldiers' friendships, camaraderie on the front lines, the hardships of military life, and the unwavering will of the people in their struggle against the Nazi invaders. Poets, writers, and journalists have left us a priceless legacy – the truth about the war. The Humanities Information Centre (4 Turgeneva Street, Room 269) carefully preserves the “Memory of the Great Victory”, and the Liberal Arts & Humanities Circulation Desk (4 Turgeneva Street, Room 252), echoing this theme, will present the exhibition “The Saved World Remembers” These May exhibitions feature books with the main goal of conveying to the reader the incredibly difficult trials endured by the Soviet people – heavy fighting, hunger in the rear, separated families, and incredible resilience. All this memory of the war is preserved in the pages of books.
The Foreign Literature Circulation Desk (4 Turgeneva Street, Room 356) will display photo albums, books, and archival documents in foreign languages covering the events of the war years. Among them are books that will supplement existing knowledge with new facts and perspectives on the events of the war.
The anniversary year will conclude with a November exhibition at the Liberal Arts & Humanities Circulation Desk (4 Turgeneva Street, Room 252) dedicated to the historical birthday of Yekaterinburg, “Evacuation Sverdlovsk”, which will tell about the city's contribution to the Victory: the evacuation of military enterprises, heroic and productive labour (which served, in particular, as the basis for awarding Yekaterinburg the title of “City of Labor Valor”), the railway, which became an important participant in the evacuation process, the influence on the city's cultural development of museums, theaters, and creative associations temporarily relocated to the Urals; and the people who were evacuated to Sverdlovsk and continued to live and work successfully there…
The books presented at our exhibitions will allow you to touch the past, learn more about the feat of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, and understand the significance of this period in Russian history.
