The museum exhibition describes the work of the All-Union Radio Committee and sheds light on the time that Yuri Borisovich Levitan, the country’s most famous announcer dubbed “the voice of the Victory”, spent in wartime Sverdlovsk from autumn 1941 to spring 1943.
This unique museum, which seamlessly combines traditional approaches to creating an exposition and modern multimedia technologies, is housed in an old mansion at the intersection of Radishchev and March 8 streets. For eighteen months, this was the place from where Yuri Levitan broadcast reports of the Soviet Information Bureau throughout the country, each time starting with the legendary phrase “Attention! This is Radio Moscow!”
Using variable transparency glass, the museum has managed to recreate Levitan’s radio studio, and the unique archive videos present the opportunity to see the famous announcer at work and hear a recording of his voice, transmitting urgent messages.
The museum renders the atmosphere of the 1930s–1940s in great detail: the exhibition houses historical documents, household items, rare archive photographs showing the life of wartime Sverdlovsk and telling the stories of the people who worked for victory at defense enterprises, the soldiers who went to war, and their families who were waiting for them to come home.
