On November 4, 2026, ahead of the anniversary of the Great October Revolution<\/strong>, the State Archive of the Gomel Region<\/strong> hosted a lesson titled \u00abThe Great October Revolution in Archival Documents\u00bb<\/strong> for 11th-grade students from Secondary School No.1 in Gomel<\/strong>. The lesson aimed to foster a sense of patriotism, as well as a respectful and careful attitude toward national history and the memory of past generations, through the study of documents and materials concerning the revolutionary movement in the city of Gomel.<\/p>\n

Leading archivist Maya Vashchenko<\/strong> prepared a selection of archival records and newspaper materials for the students, illustrating the political climate and revolutionary life in Gomel at the beginning of the last century. By examining these accessible documents, the students explored issues of local newspapers published in Gomel in 1920\u2014such as \u00abPolesskaya Pravda\u00bb, \u00abSokha i Molot\u00bb (The Plow and the Hammer), and the \u00abROSTA Wall Newspaper\u00bb \u2014 which captured the turbulent events surrounding the change in the country\u2019s political regime. Through accounts of revolutionary leaders in Gomel \u2014 including the local revolutionary and political figure Samuil Khavkin\u2014the students learned about the underground activities of revolutionary M.Khatayevich, as well as figures such as V.Volodarsky, Artem, and P.Bogdanov (after whom several streets in our city are named), and viewed photographs of these individuals. The lesson took the form of an interactive discussion, during which the students shared their own knowledge of the revolutionary events and asked questions about topics that interested them. Continuing the exploration of the history of the October Revolution, students were shown a documentary film\u2014sourced from the Belarusian State Archive of Film, Photo, and Sound Documents<\/strong> (BGAKFFD) \u2014 depicting the 65th-anniversary celebrations of the Great October Socialist Revolution in Gomel<\/strong>. To conclude the event, a tour of the archival repository was organized for the high school students; during this tour, archivist (1st qualification category) Viktoriya Rudenko<\/strong> demonstrated and explained how documents are preserved within the archive.<\/p>\n
