The National Library of Karelia held a presentation of a new book by Yury Shleikin. The book’s name is ”A Work Trip to the Twentieth Century. Born in the USSR" and it is the third author’s book in the cycle ”A Work Trip to the Twentieth Century”.
It has already become a good tradition for Yuri Shleikin to celebrate his birthday within at the National Library. The full conference room of the library became a gift for the author, and a new book on the history of Karelia and Petrozavodsk was a gift for readers.
According to the author, it was possible to tell about many events in the history of Karelia in the first two parts of the “Work Trip”, but extensive materials from a large project that had been implemented for the 90th anniversary of the Republic of Karelia were left behind. The name of the project was “Karelia. 90 Steps of History." The book also includes other materials on the history of Karelia, which will allow us to remember the sharp turns in the history of our region, people who left a bright mark in politics, economics, and culture.
That evening, friends, colleagues-journalists, book publishers, heads of public and veteran organizations, and researchers came to congratulate Yuri Shleikin. The decoration of the presentation was live music. Students of the Petrozavodsk K. E. Rautio Music College performed several compositions.
”A Work Trip to the Twentieth Century. Born in the USSR" will appear soon in the Book Stall of the National Library.
