One of the most active members of the photo club «RK 1924» – Stanislav SUROVÝ noted: «Humanity, and first of all Ukrainians, who suffer from military aggression, todaywants to live a normal life. One of the small manifestations of civilization is the photoexhibition, which is presented by the Ružomberok Photo Club RK 1924 at the CarpathianExhibition Center of FIAP. Perhaps this cultural and artistic event is a small contribution ofRužomberok amateur photographers to the creation of a peaceful world of the 21st century. Let us remain convinced that this senseless war will end someday - preferably as soon aspossible - and we will be able to enjoy our visit to Ukraine with greater joy, full of peace!»
