Launch of Vladimir Gubenko’s Book “Brest of My Memory. The 1930s–1960s”

On 21 March, at the Museum of Rescued Art Treasures, 85-year-old Brest resident Vladimir Gubenko launched his book “Brest of My Memory. The 1930s–1960s.” The book brings together drawings made from memory and from the accounts of friends. The launch was attended by local historians, scholars, artists, and representatives of the diplomatic community. Opening the event, the head of the city Alexander Rogachuk said: “I am deeply grateful to you, Vladimir Nikolaevich! It is by relying on people like you — on all those who care — that we fulfil our task: to move the city forward, following the logic of its development, while at the same time preserving for our descendants the character of the city that existed before us.” Photo report by Brestsky Vestnik, photographs by Yury Makarchuk.
