Фото 1
The Gallery of Outstanding Orenburg Residents 'Our People' features unique exhibits, such as the concert jacket of Yuri Entin, a portrait of Garry Bardin created by Nikos Safronov, bronze works by Ernst Neizvestny, and manuscripts by Vladimir Makunin. This museum project, created by the Orenburg Charitable Foundation 'Eurasia', won a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society. On an area of 56 square meters, 30 celebrities connected to Orenburg are presented.

Among them are statesmen Georgy Malenkov and Viktor Chernomyrdin, actors Georgy Martynyuk, Viktor Bortsov, Lev Durov, Maya Polyanskaya, Vladimir Uralsky, writers Vladimir Makunin, Julian Semenov, and the Strugatsky brothers. Artists Vladimir Kibalchich and Sergey Kalmykov, anti-fascist heroes Musa Jalil and Alexander Shmorel, screenwriters Alexey Samoryadov and Vladimir Kunin, performers like Yuri Shatunov, and composers Yan Frenkel and Solovyov-Sedoy are also represented. Each of these outstanding individuals has authentic documents, photographs, and items on display.

Over twenty years of work, the 'Eurasia' foundation has gathered unique biographical collections. For example, specifically for the gallery, Ivan Vankovich from Vyborg, a multiple winner of international steel bending competitions, created a steel rod reminiscent of the works of Alexander Zass from the 1930s. The son of Georgy Malenkov sent a portrait of his father made on silk in China. A 1924 'Remington Portable' typewriter from Germany, used by anti-fascist students from the 'White Rose' to print leaflets, is also on display here. A poster for the film 'Moabit Notebook' about Jalil was obtained from Kazan and is a rarity over fifty years old. An authentic etching by Mexican Kibalchich is next to the original poster for 'Young Guard' featuring Vladimir Uralsky. Admission to the museum is free.
