The Russian Revolution of 1917 altered the fate and political landscape not only of Europe, but of the world. The
article discusses the many exhibitions in Russia on the centenary of the Russian Revolution in major museums
in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in other parts of the country. In most exhibitions, poignant questions
and conflicting memories put forth by different groups about the same events were strictly avoided, and many
curators shied away from offering interpretations or making assessments as much as possible. What the jubilee
year has shown is that the causes and consequences of the Revolution will continue to be studied and discussed. N. Lipilina, Review of Russian Exhibits and Media Projects on the Centennial of the Russian Revolution, «International Public History», 2, 2019, n. 1, pp. 1-18
