Most of these visitors will be able to see at the exhibition.
Born Glinsky 17 (30) in August 1901 in Moscow, in a family of hereditary honorary citizen Boris V. Glinsky, co-owner of a large glass factory. He was able to experience all the childhood joys of the time - big trees, home shows, family events, and even saw the last Russian emperor. But fate would have it so that after the revolution, still a young man, he was in Bulgaria.

Opera "Boris Godunov", he even decorated twice - in 1929 and 1945. And the opera "Sadko" brought him such success, has never been known before in Bulgaria, no theater artists under a barrage of applause and enthusiastic cries of "Bravo!", "Artists on stage!" he had to bow out before the public, "to reap success," as staged. Before this case in the history of Sofia theater audience never an artist on the scene did not cause.
In 1955, Nicholas B. and his family returned to the Soviet Union with the condition of the settlement of reclaimed virgin lands.
