Moscow’s Novospassky Monastery Will Host an Exhibition on the Heroes of the White Movement

On November 27, 2016 , Znamensky Church in Moscow’s Novospassky Monastery will be the site of an exhibition titled “God is With Us! May Russia Rise Again!” The event is dedicated to the heroes of the White Movement and their patriotic service to Russia in the Homeland and abroad.

The show is being organized jointly by Novospassky Stavropighial Monastery and the Union of the Descendants of the Russians of Gallipoli, with funding from the Foundation for the Memory of the White Movement under the auspices of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God "of the Sign.” The exhibition will reveal to the parishioners and people of Moscow the great feats of the White warriors, how they selflessly continued to serve their Homeland even when they found themselves on distant shorts, staunchly preserving their ideals and traditions

The uniqueness of this exhibit is based on the fact that descendants of the members of the White Movement from the USA, Australia, France and Great Britain took part in its organization. It will include rare photographs, documents and artifacts from private archives, along with family heirlooms.

Of special interest is a section of the show devoted to the large families of the Golenishev-Kutuzovs, Grabbes, Levshins, whose members were prime examples of worthiness and remarkable strength of spirit as they endured terrible suffering after their exile from Russia

A separate exponent will be devoted to the history of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God "of the Sign," its discovery and related miracles, and its importance to the Russian diaspora.
