RF Ambassador in Germany Vladimir Gronin had a speech at the opening on March 23. He has marked the importance of such exhibitions that shed light on present and future, and give historians a good chance to thoroughly learn and consider the lessons from the past.

Among those personalities are Vladimir Mayakovsky and Alexander Block, who made a short-term alliance between futurism and bolshevism; Maxim Gorky and Alexei Tolstoy, who were future pro-Soviet privileged writers; as well as Alexei Remizov, Ivan Bunin and Zinaida Gippius, who didn’t accept Revolution and hence, had to leave Russia forever.
