 In 1969, in honor of his seventieth birthday, the Moscow branch of the Union of Soviet Journalists organized a solo exhibition of Ignatovich's work at the Central House of Journalists.The exhibition featured photographs from every period of Ignatovich’s career, from 1923 through 1963, and included large-scale prints, made by Ignatovich, whose size was highly unusual for exhibitions at that time.The last years of Ignatovich's life were spent in his communal apartment on Lenin Prospect, where young photographers would often visit to present their work and to learn from the old master.
