The Russian House in Ulaanbaatar is hosting a photo exhibition titled The Liberation: Peace to the Nations that documents the fight of the Soviet Union and Mongolia against militarist Japan.
The exhibition is based on the unique photo archives of the Soviet Information Bureau, the rights holder of which is the Rossiya Segodnya media group. The photos by military correspondents feature rare scenes: the vast Gobi Desert, columns or armored vehicles, tank crews resting in the Greater Khingan passages, and Soviet officers meeting Mongolian personnel and residents of liberated territories.
The Soviet-Japanese War was not only the final act of World War II but also one of the largest and sweeping operations in the history of armed conflicts. By standing together against the aggressor, the Soviet and Mongolian people forged a unity that subsequently grew into a lasting neighborly friendship and solidarity in the struggle for peace and justice.
When opening the exhibition, Director of the Mongolian branch of the Federal Agency for the CIS Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation (Rossotrudnichestvo) Valeria Kilpyakova noted: “The events commemorating important dates in our shared history are incredibly meaningful and pursue a valuable mission of preserving the historical memory of the Mongolian and Russian peoples. The victory over militarist Japan became possible thanks to the joint efforts of the Mongolian and Soviet troops that expedited the collapse of the Kwantung Army and brought the end of World War II closer.”
“Mongolia has made an invaluable contribution to fighting against Nazi Germany and militarist Japan, supporting the Red Army from the first day of the war. This project preserves the historical truth and the shared memory of Russian and Mongolian peoples, through documentary photographs that chronicle WWII heroism,” said Sergei Kochetkov, Rossiya Segodnya First Deputy Editor-in-Chief.
Kristina Lyakh, Head of the Promotional Projects Department of the International Cooperation Directorate at Rossiya Segodnya, said during the opening ceremony: “The Liberation: Peace to the Nations project was mainly created for younger audiences and we are delighted to know that several venues in Mongolia will showcase our documentary photo exhibition.”
In Russia, the exhibition has already been on display in education institutions across the Far East – in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Kamchatka. The international tour began in September in Beijing and Karachi, to continue in education and cultural institutions across China, Mongolia and South Korea, including the Mongolian University of Postgraduate Education and the Georgy Zhukov House and Museum in Ulaanbataar.
The Liberation: Peace to the Nations project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives as part of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of victory over militarist Japan and the end of World War II. It is an extension of the projects Liberation and Liberation: The Path to Victory, which has attracted millions of visitors over the past two years. The project includes photo exhibitions in Russia and abroad, as well as educational events using mobile exhibitions.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters of Ethiopian Heritage!
After more than 3.2 million years our great, great, infinitive great grandma Lucy has come back. This time she will not spend too much with us on this good earth. It took her so long because she has been very busy tending to her more than 8.2 billion children scattered all over this globe. She is preparing herself to travel into space with her Super Mensa peerless genius great-great grand daughter Space Engineer Emebet Mehabaw. Lucy was the first Ethiopian to walk on earth and our daughter/sister Astronaut Emebet Mehabaw will be the first Ethiopian to go into space on special mission in 2029. That is a mere 4 years from now. It is in my daily prayer that I will still be around to see our daughter waving the flag of the old country along with that of her generous adapted country. I will then sing from top of my lung my old time Fred’s super hit favorite that goes:
Lucy in space,
That is where you are!
Lucy in space,
That is where you are!
Lucy in space,
That is where you are!
A circus of delights, yeah, yeah
Well, that’s what you are
You made us all proud!!!
