The exhibition will feature portraits of modern Russian heroes – participants of the SVO and images of their patron saints. The exhibition will also feature an icon of St. George the Victorious – patron saint of the Russian army, symbol of Russia’s Victory and patron saint of the capital of Russia – Moscow.

Since 2022, Svetlana Galagan has devoted a lot of time to volunteer work in hospitals: organizing master classes, painting portraits, providing moral support to family and friends, and participating in the collection of humanitarian aid. Organizes exhibitions in support of the Special Military Operation.

The heroes of the portraits are employees of the Investigative Committee, fighters of the Engineering Troops of the Armed Forces, pilots, tankers, war correspondents and "Forest Ghosts" from the Guards Brigade, who proved themselves in different regions of Ukraine during the performance of special tasks in the SVO zone. They conducted reconnaissance of targets and the disabling of critically important objects in Kharkov, contributed to the protection of the crossing in Izyum, fought in forest plantations on both sides of the Ingulets River in the Kherson region and repelled attempts by sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy to reach the rear of the Russian troops, portraits of children from orphanages in the Luhansk region, who, due to circumstances, are also real heroes. Impressed by communication with children during master classes for them, the painting "Faith" was painted.

The exhibition also features works by fighters completed during master classes at the A. A. Vishnevsky Hospital in Moscow.
