Greeting by D.E. Zhalnin, Director of Murmansk Local history Museum
Dear Colleagues!
This exhibition project, which is dedicated to the heroic Papanin legacy, is not only paying tribute to the deeds of our fathers and grandfathers, but it is proof of Russia’s commitment to the Arctic.
The grandiose task of more explorations of the North cannot be expressed by loud statements and fine phrases. Its success is connected with the rejuvenation of the spirit of optimism and enthusiasm, and the nurture of patriotic generations to come.
Acknowledging the necessity of joined efforts, having pride for the deeds of our ancestors, and respect for our homeland. It is this that stimulates hope for the rejuvenation of glorious traditions of the past and the broad perspectives of the future of the Russian Arctic.
D.E. Zhalnin,
Director of the Murmansk Local history Museum
