By the Testament of Faith | Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812
Exhibitions
On December 9, 2022, on the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland, the Victory Museum hosted the opening of the exhibition project "Zавем Верны", which is dedicated to modern Heroes of Russia - participants of the SVO. On an area of 250 sq.m., visitors to the Museum are presented with about 1000 stories of the exploits of participants in the special military operation and the Great Patriotic War, drawing parallels between the heroic deeds of the past and present, helping the visitor to realize that the role of heroism in our days is as serious as before. For example, Senior Lieutenant Maxim Peskovoy, in an unequal battle with neo-Nazis, saved his comrades from the explosion of an enemy grenade, covering it with his body, and Private Klavdiy Krasnoyarov covered the embrasure of an enemy machine gun with his body. Both young fighters received the title of Hero. Or paramedic Ekaterina Ivanova, who covered a seriously wounded soldier from an enemy shell, was wounded, but saved his life, and lieutenant Vera Kashcheeva, during the crossing of the Dnieper under enemy fire, carried out 20 wounded soldiers with their personal weapons.
A separate section of the exhibition is dedicated to modern war correspondents and their role in covering the events in Donbass during the SVO. Video materials of leading war correspondents are presented - interviews with soldiers, stories from the scene.
During the opening of the exhibition, the launch of the action "Letter to a soldier" took place, within the framework of which any visitor to the Museum could write and send a letter to a Russian soldier.
Particular attention in the exposition is given to the Memorial Complex of Donbass - "Saur-Mogila", as a symbol of liberation from Nazism. A copy of one of the bas-reliefs dedicated to the participants of the SVO became a unifying element of the entire exhibition.
The exhibition uses modern multimedia solutions: projections and light and sound accompaniment, which will immerse visitors in the events of 80 years ago and the present, in order to fully understand the greatness of the heroes' exploits. The project is being prepared
