The "Biblionoch" campaign in Moscow will be dedicated to the Victory anniversary

The campaign "Biblionoch", which will be organized in Moscow from April 26 to 27, will be held under the motto "Pages of Victory," said Deputy Mayor Natalia Sergunina.

According to her, over 1,700 concerts, performances, lectures, quests, and creative meetings will be held in libraries and cultural centers in all districts of the capital. "The project will bring together about 400 cultural venues, almost twice as many as last time. This year's event will be dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory," Sergunina said.

The action will traditionally be opened by the children's program "Bibliosumerki". For example, the Yuri Gagarin Library No. 214 will show a production of the Vasily Terkin Shadow Theater based on the work by Alexander Tvardovsky.

A family poetry evening will be held at Library No. 128, the M.A. Sholokhov Cultural Center. There will be works by various authors and there will be an open microphone format.

In many institutions, children will be able to join the Letters of Victory flash mob. During the event, the children will learn about the front-line "triangles" and write messages to veterans and heroes of the special military operation. Participants of another special project, the Memorial Hour, will be asked to describe their family's history related to the Great Patriotic War. These works will form the basis of the publication "The Moscow Book of Family Memories: 80 years of the Great Victory." It will be presented at the Red Square Book Festival and the Moscow International Book Fair.

The Moskvich Cultural Center has prepared an event for an adult audience — there will be a lecture on the life and work of writer Konstantin Simonov, and soloists of the Young Opera of Russia project will perform in the I.S. Turgenev library-reading room. They will perform wartime songs and opera arias. Literary readings will be held at the F.M. Dostoevsky Library No. 19. The program includes short stories by Russian satirists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

A poetic performance will be presented in the Anna Akhmatova Smart Library. The plot is based on the frontline poems of the participants of the Great Patriotic War.
