Through this thematic exhibition, today's young generation can gain a deeper understanding of the "Red Addresses"—places where fierce struggles took place between political prisoners against the colonial and feudal regimes, where the communists of Nghe Tinh were tempered and matured, and where many exemplary figures fought bravely and indomitably, igniting the torch of revolutionary heroism in the heroic Soviet homeland of Nghe Tinh.

The exhibition is themed around two parts: "Forged in the Red Fire" and "Everlasting Faith." The first part includes images and documents about revolutionary fighters who were imprisoned, tortured, and their unwavering will, determination, and steadfast faith in the prisons of the French colonialists. The second part features images and documents about the lives and activities of the Soviet Nghệ Tĩnh fighters who successfully escaped from prison, returned to continue their activities, and became key figures in the revolutionary movement.

Besides organizing tours and exhibitions of paintings and photographs, the program also includes activities to interact with the relatives and families of Soviet soldiers from Nghe An and Ha Tinh who were captured and imprisoned by the enemy. This helps people understand more about the touching stories and memories, contributing to a more vivid portrayal of the communist soldiers of the two provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh.

The exhibition runs from September 10th to the end of December 2019.
