Exhibition 'Gennady Krasilnikov. Choosing a Path'

About exhibition

In an ordinary five-story Stalin-era building with a turret on Gorky Street in Izhevsk, on the second floor among other apartments, there is... a museum. The only 'apartment museum' in Udmurtia, it was the home of the famous Udmurt prose writer Gennady Dmitrievich Krasilnikov. In 1989, at the family's decision, the apartment was turned into a museum. The core of the exhibition consists of the personal belongings of the writer and his family: photographs, books, a typewriter, a writing desk... Visitors can visit three geographic locations that influenced the writer's later life and feel the atmosphere of the distant 1950s, the unforgettable 1960s, and the ideological 1970s of the last century—not only of Udmurt literature but of Soviet literature as a whole.
