This is an activity held to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the Russian Federation (January 30, 1950 / January 30, 2025) and the 108th anniversary of the Great October Revolution in Russia (November 7, 1917 / November 7, 2025).

The exhibition introduces to the public the journey of President Ho Chi Minh to Russia - the place of leader Lenin and the victory of the October Revolution. Lenin's great thoughts became a source of light, a strong driving force guiding the path of national salvation of Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh. Here, he lived, studied and carried out revolutionary activities, thereby forming a deep attachment to the country and people of Russia.

A photo of President Ho Chi Minh witnessing the signing ceremony of the Vietnam-Soviet Union Joint Declaration in Hanoi on February 10, 1965 is displayed at the exhibition.

With nearly 300 carefully selected photos, documents and typical artifacts, including rare and newly collected documents and artifacts, the exhibition introduces to the public the journey following the revolutionary footsteps of Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh in Russia in the years 1923 - 1924, 1927, 1934 - 1938 when he traveled to find a way to save the country, as well as the journey following the footsteps of friendship that President Ho Chi Minh, in his capacity as President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam), left across the vast Soviet Union.

The footprints of President Ho Chi Minh in the homeland of the October Revolution are clear evidence of the friendship between the two countries, expressing his affection for the Russian people as well as the people of the Soviet Union member countries, writing beautiful stories about the loyal and steadfast friendship, always supporting and standing side by side in the revolutionary cause and building the country.
