**Brand Description:**

“Nad Nami Krasnyy Krest” is a unique initiative dedicated to preserving the memory of an extraordinary chapter in history involving the odyssey of Petrograd children from 1918 to 1921. This website, established by the descendants of the participants in these events, in collaboration with the Central City Children’s Library named after A.S. Pushkin, aims to shed light on the challenges faced by nearly a thousand children who were sent to the Urals for better nutrition after the harsh winter of 1917-18. The journey they undertook, marked by turmoil during the Civil War, led them across oceans, with significant support from organizations like the American Red Cross.

The brand actively curates a range of documents, photographs, and artifacts from archives in Russia and the United States, showcasing the resilience of these children and the crucial aid they received. Educational exhibitions and scholarly research are central to their mission, fostering community involvement and inviting contributions from those with knowledge of this little-known story.
