Since the beginning of this year, #Pobeda Victory has been telling a different, private story of the Great Patriotic War - the war that ordinary Soviet soldiers and commanders, doctors and nurses, their relatives and friends who left home to work and endure the hardships of war saw. Dozens of young artists from the School of Design of the RANEPA painted hundreds of illustrations for piercing lines sent from front to front. So on our Instagram account, a kind of “Infinite Letter” gathered together connecting the past and the present.

Dear friends! Our project is nearing climax, and we invite you all to become part of our “Infinite Letter”. Since January, we have published hundreds of letters in Stories, and our young artists from the RANEPA School of Design painted emotional illustrations for them. ⁠ ⠀ ⁠⠀ On May 9 we want to publish YOUR works! ⁠ ⠀ ⁠⠀ For this, we suggest reading lines from a wonderful letter by Alexei Zelensky which he sent on May 9, 1945 to parents from Austria. These lines describe the experiences of that exceptional day in the best possible way. ⁠ ⠀ ⁠⠀ Choose one or more quotes and create your own illustration - in any genre: graphics, collage, drawing, animation or something else - the main thing is to convey your emotions. ⁠ ⠀ ⁠⠀ Important! We will accept VERTICAL works that can be viewed from the screen of a smartphone without turning it on its side. For professionals: these are works with an aspect ratio of 9: 16.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Send your picture along with the selected quote before May 9 to us at pobedapage@gmail.com and publish it with the hashtag #Last LetterWinning in your social media. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Illustrations will be published in the Stories section of our Instagram account on Victory Day. ⁠ ⠀
