From the book of impressions of Fund "Sukhumi”:
"The back-and-white photos, presented in the exhibition with high professionalism and deep humanism, redoubles war terrors”
"This is terrible truth. These photos reflect accusation, sympathy and protest. They once again convince us that war brings only destruction and trouble for people.”
"The similar should not happen anywhere! Many thanks to the author, many thanks to the organizers”
The exhibition lasts until July 9th. |
