The following people are depicted on this photograph from left to right: First Secretary of Altai Territory Committee of the CPSU Nikolay Aksyonov, actors Gennady Voronin and Yuri Usachyov.
Aksyonov is holding the award of the 1982 15th All-Union Film Festival in Tallinn, which was received by directors Renita and Yuri Grigoriev for Childhood Holidays, the best film for children and youth. The film is based on the series of autobiographic short stories From the childhood of Ivan Popov, written by Vasily Shukshin. The directors donated the prize to the All-Russian Shukshin Memorial Museum Preserve as a token of gratitude for Srostki residents’ participation in the film.
In 1982, the Shukshin Readings on Mount Piket concluded the Days of Soviet Literature, which were held in Altai and were dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the formation of the USSR. At the opening ceremony, Writers Union Secretary of the Board Oleg Shestinsky noted: “We will always hear his word. He left here with a light load, but carried a wealth of images. The more years pass, the more his image will crystallise. Shukshin”s power lies trying to see the beauty in every person, he sought to highlight the national traits of Russian character”.
Guests from different Republics of the Union came to Srostki, and they all talked about the international significance of Shukshin’s truly Russian talent. The features of folk characters close to every nation were ‘recognized’ by Belarusian writer Aleksei Koptyuk, deputy of the Supreme Council of the Lithuanian SSR and poet Alfons Maldonis, and the Ukrainian poet Mikola Vingranovsky.
Activists of the Peace Through Culture movement came to Altai from Lithuania. One of them was Aukse Narvilene, Doctor of Medicine and Chairwoman of the Lithuanian Association of the International Federation of Physicians that Respect Human Life. Her husband Vitautas Narvilas chaired the Society of Lithuanian-Indian Cultural Relations and practiced photography. After this trip, he arranged a photo exhibition featuring the pictures taken at Shukshin Readings. These materials were first displayed in Lithuania and then donated to Shukshin Museum.
