Belarusian exponents to be showcased in Scotland.
By Vitaly Krasnobayev:
Belarusian exponents will be showcased in Scotland for the first time in the modern history of our country. Gomel Regional Museum of Military Glory presents Gomel - Belarusian City during the WW II exhibition in Aberdeen. The exhibition opens today.
The exhibition is comprised of over a hundred exponents and unique documents and around 8 months of thorough preparation.
Scottish colleagues were selecting the exponents themselves taking into account the level of their interest to the viewers. As a result, the exhibition includes awards from the World War II, chronicle photographs during the early years of the occupation and even the original book of memoirs of Marshal Zhukov.
(Pavel Zhdanovich, director of the Gomel Regional Museum of Military Glory: We are bringing the truth about the war through the exhibition; the truth about the contribution of the Belarusian people to the outcome of the war, including the battles.)
This exhibition in Scotland is the first time in recent history of the Belarusian museums. The exhibition opens in the Gordon Highlander Museum on February, 1.
Departure to Scotland is the first attempt of the international voyage for the Gomel Museum of Military Glory. The negotiations with the Museum of the Resistance of the French city Clermont-Ferrand on the organization of the exposition of the guerrilla movement in the Gomel Region are being conducted at the moment.

SUMMARY
=======
The Eastern Front of World War II was a theatre of conflict between the European Axis powers and co-belligerent Finland against the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.), Poland and other Allies, which encompassed Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Northeast Europe (Baltics), and Southeast Europe (Balkans) from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It has been known as the Great Patriotic War (Russian: ru:Великая Отечественная война, Velikaya Otechestvennaya Voyna) in the former Soviet Union and modern Russia, while in Germany it was called the Eastern Front (German: die Ostfront), or the German-Soviet War by outside parties.The battles on the Eastern Front of the Second World War constituted the largest military confrontation in history. They were characterized by unprecedented ferocity, wholesale destruction, mass deportations, and immense loss of life due to combat, starvation, exposure, disease, and massacres. The Eastern Front, as the site of nearly all extermination camps, death marches, ghettos, and the majority of pogroms, was central to the Holocaust. Of the estimated 70 million deaths attributed to World War II, over 30 million, the majority of them civilian, occurred on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome in the European theatre of operations in World War II, eventually serving as the main reason for the defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis nations.The two principal belligerent powers were Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, along with their respective allies. Though never engaged in military action in the Eastern Front, the United States and the United Kingdom both provided substantial material aid in the form of the Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union. The joint German–Finnish operations across the northernmost Finnish–Soviet border and in the Murmansk region are considered part of the Eastern Front. In addition, the Soviet–Finnish Continuation War may also be considered the northern flank of the Eastern Front.
