The "Military Chronicle" of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic is being revived by specialists of the International Center for Restoration in Christmas. The process of restoring posters of the blockade, programs and documents was observed by Dmitry Yaskovsky. Restoration center in the village Christmas and want to call rehabilitation. Specialists, as if doctors are fighting for the life of paper posters, diaries and photographs that have become yellow from time to time. “It is our duty to convey to our descendants the true story as it was. And in this case, these monuments – posters – testify to the incredible feat of besieged Leningrad, says the artist-restorer Vitaly Groshev. Posters printed in military printing houses called the defenders of the city to hear Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony. The concert took place on the ninth of August 42. In the first rehearsal, which lasted only 15 minutes, the musicians simply could not hold their instruments. Less than 50 percent of the permanent composition of the orchestra of the Leningrad Radio Committee was able to come to the rehearsal, half were no longer alive. Death caught up with the musicians during the spring and summer of the year 42. There are absolutely tragic memories of the survivors who survived to the victory of the musicians, how they came to the rehearsal, and the places of their colleagues were empty, says Yulia Kantor, Deputy Director of the Shostakovich St. Petersburg Philharmonic. 274 valuable documents will be returned to life. The artifacts of the era will first photograph and decide what work to do. “There is all the necessary modern equipment for this and in order to do everything as professionally as possible,” explains Tatiana Chernyaeva, director of the International Restoration Center. The main enemy of documents is the paper itself, which was made of low-quality pulp. In the laboratory, the sheets are first soaked, and then impregnated with a weak alkaline solution. Ink or pencil require special care. In the diary of the Director of the Philharmonic Boris Khais records of concerts, the number of tickets sold, economic orders. “This book, in general, is literally a handwritten monument to the employees of the Philharmonic, who worked in Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War,” said Yulia Kantor, Deputy Director of the Shostakovich St. Petersburg Philharmonic. All work will be completed by the end of the year. Updated and digitized pages will be posted on the Internet.
