The Casa della Memoria e della Storia is hosting an exhibition entitled "The Russian Nation against the Nazi Invaders" from 4-13 May. Around 50 photographs taken by some of the best war photojournalists such as Alpert, Tarasevich, Zelma and Ivanov recount a brief history of world war two in the ex-Soviet Union. Arranged chronologically, the black and white images form an photographic almanac of the most notorious battles fought by the Soviet Army between 1941 and 1945.

The event is sponsored by the Russian Embassy to Italy in conjunction with Roszarubejcenter (the Russian centre for scientific and cultural co-operation) and ANPI (the national association of Italian partisans).

The exhibition is open Mon-Sat, 10.00-18.00; free entry.
