Young artists, who are working with the different ways of fine arts, have been asked to review their attitude to the events of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, to feel them, not only relying on the books and movies about the war, but to get into the situation itself of the beginning of a large-scale and terrible tragedy. The task was not to create a memorial work, but to show with available artistic images what arises after a contact with that theme. The main goal of the exhibition is to present the images of the war that has suddenly involved millions of people in its circle. In the focus is a Human. The artist must stand "on the part of a Human side."
