I think that wonderful photos will please not only us, but also tourists and guests of the capital, ”said the Deputy Minister of Culture of the Republic of Belarus Ranis Altynbayev.
“100 years ago - on March 20, 1919, the Agreement of the Russian Workers 'and Peasants' Government was signed with the Bashkir Government on the Soviet Autonomy of Bashkiria. This event has become historic for the multinational Russian state - for the first time one of its nations gained autonomy. For Bashkiria, this historical act became an important stage in creating their own statehood, which became a reality thanks to the rapid political changes in the country. For all the deeds and heroic deeds are ordinary people. This photo exhibition proves that people make history, ”the director of the National Museum Marat Zulkarnaev noted.
