The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to get acquainted with Russian art and propaganda graphics, photographs and newsreels of World War I from private collections and Moscow museum right in the heart of London. Some of the exhibits, including the children’s drawings, books by Russian Futurists, and lithographic albums by Natalia Goncharova and Olga Rozanova are hardly ever seen as they are either kept in museum storage rooms or in private collections, inaccessible to a wide audience. Rare photo albums documenting day-to-day course of the war through the eyes of its participants are also of great interest – infantry and airmen, filmed their life at the front in between battles.

CamRuSS is organising a trip and a guided tour of the exhibition by its Curator, Natalia Budanova (mainly in Russian; possibly with some commentary in English too).
