Welcome to the online exhibition “Russian heroes of the European Resistance during the Second World War”.
This exhibition is prepared by The Solzhenitsyn House of Russia Abroad (Moscow) and tells the stories of those who risked their lives to resist the Nazi occupation in Belgium and Europe. These individuals, whose names often remain in the shadows, played a decisive role in preserving freedom and humanity in the face of tyranny.
Through archival materials and personal stories, we journey back to the years of World War II, remembering the value of freedom and the importance of unity in the fight against injustice. This exhibition is a tribute to those who fought for a brighter future despite the hardships they faced.
Thank you for your interest, and we hope this exhibition will inspire you to reflect on the value of freedom and peace in our time.
