The article discusses the methods of scientifi c and artistic propaganda (Museum and local history tour, lesson at the
exhibition, lecture, conversation with slides). Museum employees at places of temporary storage of monuments carried
out educational work among the population. Working with the audience in the Museum serves as a support for the
positive state of mind of people in the conditions of intense wartime. Meeting with evacuees collections of art monuments
allowed residents of Perm, Gorky, Solikamsk and other regional centers in 1941–1945 to expand their horizons,
aesthetically evaluate the famous masterpieces of Russian art, which had a beneficial effect on the entire cultural climate of
the provincial society. During the great Patriotic war, the main part of the art collections of the State Russian Museum was
evacuated to Molotov (Perm). Paintings, sculptures, works of iconography are placed in the Perm Museum of local lore, in
the Trinity Cathedral of Solikamsk. Conducting excursions and consultations at temporary exhibitions, conversations with
slides are methods of scientifi c and educational work. This work was important and necessary for the residents of Perm.
The meeting with art organized for visitors of the Museum in Perm by the staff of the Russian Museum provided great
spiritual support during the great Patriotic war, which can be regarded as an unprecedented case of aesthetic education
of the younger generation and spiritual support of the residents of Perm in wartime conditions. The relevance of the
material presented in the article is undeniable. In the last years of the twenty-fi rst century, there have been increasing calls
for a review of the role of the Soviet Army in the great Patriotic war (1941–1945). It is necessary to take responsibility for
historical truth. The importance of the Victory, which brought liberation from Hitlerism not only to our Homeland, but also
to the Western world, is great, and the merits are invaluable. It is necessary to preserve the truth for future generations
of residents of the former Soviet space, as well as citizens of other countries. Special importance in the preservation of
memory belongs to documentary sources, which include archive materials. Along with them, works of art created during
the war or in the fi rst post-war years play an invaluable role in restoring the truth.
