The Pages of History is a unique All-Russian festival of street art that was held in Veliky Novgorod in 2019. 19 young artists and graffiti writers participated in it. The result of their work is twelve bright murals on the facades of houses and one colorful 3D-art on Pobedy-Sophiyskaya Square. All the works are somehow connected with the history of the city: these are the images of Alexander Nevsky, Yaroslav the Wise, Sergei Rachmaninoff, the merchant Sadko and themes from the medieval period.

In 2020 several more graffiti appeared on the streets of the city in memory of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in World War II.

We suggest you taking a walk through the city streets to find all the drawings.
