Interpretations of Partisan movement during Great Patriotic War at Belarusian museums
The article considers scientific planning of exhibitions dedicated to the partisan movement organization at the beginning of the Great Patriotic war. Analysing thematic and compositional aspects the author proves that the artistic interpretation of the subject depends on the political situation in the country. Thus in the expositions created in the 1940s - early 1950s Stalin’s role in the formation of the partisan movement is accentuated. In later expositions (organized till the beginning of the 1990s) the leading role of the Communist party is evident. Nowadays the tendency towards a more objective interpretation of the partisan movement development is observed.
