Georgy Malenkov's son sent a portrait of his father, made in China on silk… ""Remington portable typewriter" from 1924, from Germany — it was on this type that the antifascist students from the "White Rose" printed their flyers. And the poster of the movie "The Moabite Notebook" about Jalil was obtained from Kazan. The rarity has been around for more than half a century.
