After that, Vladimir Putin will attend the exhibition Memory of Generations: the Great Patriotic War in Pictorial Arts at the Manezh Central Exhibition Hall as part of the 18th Church and Public Exhibition and Forum Orthodox Russia – For National Unity Day. 150 pieces of painting and sculpture displayed at the exhibition narrate the tale of the road to Victory and show how the topic of the war was reflected in visual art of the 1940s-2010s. The exhibits were contributed by 42 museums from 34 Russian cities.

This exhibition continues the Russian Museums’ Treasures project held at the Manezh and in eight regional centres in 2018.
