An exhibition examining the history of Nazism and what its organisers describe as the resurgence of neo-Nazi ideology in the modern world has opened at the International Festival of Youth (IFY) 2026 in Ekaterinburg, Russia.
An exhibition titled "Catastrophe of Memory: Neo-Nazism in the 21st Century" opened at the International Festival of Youth (IFY) 2026 in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The IFY 2026, gathering thousands of participants from 191 countries, is currently underway from September 11 to 17, 2026, under the theme "Follow Your Dream." The exhibition, organized by the Museum of Contemporary History of Russia, aims to highlight the resurgence of neo-Nazi ideology in the modern world.
It combines historical materials from Nazi Germany and World War II with contemporary displays showcasing the re-emergence of extremist ideologies. Items on display include historical artifacts, videos of the Nuremberg Trials, and stamps commemorating the Anti-Hitler Coalition. The exhibition also delves into neo-Nazi movements in post-war and Cold War periods, and contemporary manifestations of extremist nationalism in Europe and beyond, including references to the Russian conflict with Ukraine.
Deputy Russian Culture Minister Sergei Pershin commended the museum for its role in preserving history and engaging visitors with its displays. The exhibition's materials have been translated into multiple languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese, with additional translations accessible via QR codes.
Daily guided tours in Russian and English are available, with approximately 70 tours expected during the exhibition period.
