The exhibition in Noyabrsk will tell about labor feats of northerners on the home front and at the war

The exhibition “Yamal will not forget its heroes” dedicated to residents of Yamal in the war time will be opened in the museum of military glory of the town Noyabrsk on the 1st of May. It will tell about labor feats of northerners on the home front. They sent fish, meat and clothes for people in battlefields. Already in the beginning of the war the region collected and sent about 800 parcels to the army. Special attention at the exhibition is paid to people, who were awarded with the title “Hero of the Soviet Union”. A part of the exhibition project is dedicated to life and creative work of Yamal poets, whose childhood was in the war years. Visitors will learn what memory about the war the poets imprinted in their poems.

Also the exhibition will acquaint with the project of the Russian geographical society “Kara Sea Expeditions”, which is based on the idea of perpetuating the memory of residents of Yamal, who died in battlefields of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

According to the information given to a correspondent of the news agency “Sever-Press” in the advertizing and informational office under the museum resource center, Yamal was not a near-front zone, but courage and fortitude shown by people of Yamal during the war deserve respect and admiration. The future warriors educated in groups of general military training left for the battle front on steamships. Many residents of the North went in combats through the whole Europe. They defended Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad, liberated Belarus, Romania, Hungary, participated in the battles of the Danube, of Prague and Berlin.
