Through the thematic exhibition, today's young generation will understand more about the Red addresses - where fierce struggles of political prisoners took place against the colonial and feudal regimes, where Nghe Tinh communists were trained and matured, and many examples of heroic and indomitable struggles were set, lighting the torch of revolutionary heroism in the heroic Soviet homeland of Nghe Tinh.

The exhibition consists of two themes: “Tempered in the Red Fire” and “Forever Shining Faith”. The first theme includes images and documents about revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned, tortured, and their will and determination to fight and maintain their steadfast faith in French colonial prisons. The second theme includes images and documents about the lives of Soviet soldiers from Nghe Tinh who successfully escaped from prison, returned to continue their activities, and became the core of the revolutionary movement.

In addition to organizing tours and exhibitions of paintings and photos, the program also includes activities to interact with relatives and families of Soviet soldiers from Nghe Tinh who were captured and imprisoned by the enemy. From there, it helps people understand more about the touching stories and memories, contributing to vividly portraying the portraits of communist soldiers from the two provinces of Nghe An - Ha Tinh.

The exhibition lasts from September 10 to December 2019.
