On February 16, 2023, employees of the Belarusian State Archive of Film and Photo Documents (hereinafter – BGAKFFD) took part in the opening of a unique exhibition «Minsk»: a story of great luck», organized by a group for lovers of retro technology «Kola Chasu».

At the exhibition, thanks to enthusiasts and the MotoArena salon, with the support of the Minsk Motor Bike Plant, a wide range of Minsk motorcycles for 70 years of production is presented: both from factory collections and private collections. Some copies were shown for the first time.

BGAKFFD acted as a partner of the event and provided 20 storage units of photographic documents and 4 storage units of film documents with a duration of 6 minutes for the organization of the exhibition.

These documents cover the period from 1931 and reflect the beginning of the production of motorcycles and the development of motorsport in our country. Frames of archival documents supplemented and illustrated the lecture «Two-stroke legend from Minsk», which took place within the framework of the exhibition. It is worth noting that these documents were presented to the general public for the first time. The organizers and visitors of the exhibition were enthusiastic about the demonstration of film frames, reflecting the process of serial production of motorcycles at the Minsk Motor Bike Plant.
