Orthodox Russia - Day of National Unity

The chairman of the Synodal Information Department of the Moscow Patriarchate, Vladimir Legoyda, spoke about the upcoming exhibition-forum "Orthodox Russia - Day of National Unity. The Romanovs", which will be held from November 4 to 12 in Moscow. With the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, on November 4, 2013, at the Central Exhibition Hall "Manezh", the exhibition forum "Orthodox Russia - Day of National Unity. The Romanovs" will be opened. The exhibition is dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty and will become one of the central events in celebration of this event in Russia . During the reign of the Romanov dynasty, Russia experienced great events: the accession of Siberia and the Far East, building a new capital of St. Petersburg, the victory over Napoleon, the abolition of serfdom, the industrial revolution, and more. The country became an empire - one of the leading world powers. At this time, successful Arctic research was carried out, the Northern Sea Route was opened, and the greatest geographical discovery of Antarctica was made. There was a flowering of culture, named the "Golden Age" in Russian history: the world got to know Russian literature, music, painting, theatre and ballet. These and many other events, as well as the history of the life and reign of each monarch of the Romanov dynasty, will be presented in two dozen halls of the main exhibition space of the country. The central idea of the exhibition is gratitude to prominent figures of the Romanov dynasty and their associates for their contribution to strengthening Russian statehood.
