[50474] Saint Petersburg hosts the "Russian Imperative" exhibition dedicated to the legacy of war

The "Russian Imperative" exhibition opens in Saint Petersburg

From May 8 to June 7, the Manege exhibition center in Saint Petersburg will host the "Russian Imperative" exhibition. The event presents art that seeks to "give meaning to the subject of war" in Russian society, as reported by the Telegram channel Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны, a channel associated with distinct nationalist and pro-Kremlin positions.

According to reports on the Операция Z channel and simultaneously on the МИГ России channel, the exhibition is intended to emphasize that "epochs change, but the Russian soldier remains the same." The creators claim that war is "part of the biography of every Russian person," whether it involves old family memories or contemporary reports from the front.

The exhibition is based on masterpieces by the greatest Russian artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Ilya Repin, Vasily Vereshchagin, and Vera Mukhina, alongside works by contemporary artists. The event was organized by the "Russian Style" project with the support of the Committee for Culture of the Saint Petersburg Municipality.

The central message conveyed by both channels is the perception of war as an inevitable "moral duty" for the sake of the country's security and the protection of the future of the coming generations. The exhibition is held at 1 Isaakievskaya Square in Saint Petersburg.
