Lecture "They listened to the sky"

November 14th

89A Aktyubinskaya Street, Akbulak

Few people know about one of the rarest, but no less significant professions during the Great Patriotic War – the hearing aid. Blind people have made a worthy contribution to the victory over the enemy.

The lecture will allow participants to get acquainted with little-known stories of the Great Patriotic War: in what year were sound traps created, the principle of their operation and how many people worked behind them. The children will learn about the first Red Army soldiers, Yakov Zobin and Alexei Boyko, as well as about Ivan Filippovich Skrobat, who in 1929 created the first brass band in the Union of blind musicians, and his orchestra became the best brass band in Leningrad. The participants of the event will hear the memories of blind listeners and get acquainted with the monument, which was erected in St. Petersburg and named after the blind defenders of the sky of besieged Leningrad.

The event is held for groups of 15 people or more during the museum's business hours from Tuesday to Saturday by appointment by phone 8 (35335) 21545
