More of the Museum Part Three

This exhibition was devoted to the 20th anniversary of the Flight of Friendship between Alaska and Chukotka. For 40 years there were no communication between the Eskimo people in Russia and their relatives in Alaska because of the "Ice Curtain" And in 1988 the first group from Alaska came to visit their families. Even the old and sick people came as they didn't know when they will have another chance.
