“Photorobot in a minute and prints for memory”: how in Pskov opened an exhibition about the secrets of police history

In the Pskov library named after Kurbatov on Thursday opened an exposition dedicated to the Day of the police officer, told “MK in Pskov” representatives of the Ministry of internal Affairs.

The organizers – the library and the Museum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Pskov – decided not to limit themselves to dusty archives, but to make the exhibition truly interactive.

The main point for the guests was the platform of the Expert and Forensic Center. Here everyone could feel like a real investigator: under the guidance of experts, visitors fingerprinted themselves and created unique bookmarks with their own fingerprints. No less excitement was caused by a master class from a veteran of the police Yuri Yashin, who in real time showed the magic of creating photo sketches by verbal description.

In addition to interactive, the exhibition offers to immerse yourself in history. Archival documents, rare photographs and books on forensics clearly show the path of the Pskov police from the first days to the present day.

“This is not just a story about history, but also a sign of gratitude to everyone who stands guard of law and order,” Colonel Sergey Ascheulov, deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Pskov region, said at the opening.

The exhibition will run until December 7 on the first floor of the library. Entry is free.
