History and culture: The first meeting of the working group on historical reconstruction and promotion of the study and preservation of the Russian military history is open

The Ministry for Culture of the Russian Federation opened the first meeting of the working group on military-historical reconstruction and promotion of the study and preservation of Russian military history.

The participants discussed the general coordination of activities of public associations of military-historical reconstruction, made proposals to the calendar of historical reconstructions in 2013 and discussed events of 2014-15 periods. One of the most important issues was the discussion of commemorative events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the First World War, which will be held in 2014. The key event here will be an international military-historical festival "Breakthrough", and the base platform will be the Kaliningrad region, as the only territory of the Russian Federation, where the battles of this time took place.

Following the discussion, the list of priority topics and activities included cultural and historical project "Staraya Ladoga", historical festival "Time and era", a list of events on the military commemorative events of the Second World War: "Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad", "Defense of the Soviet Arctic", "Release of Rostov", and etc.

One of the priorities is a reconstruction of the Military Historical Society, which at one time made a great job in the field of military-historical research and the publication of documents. The Company will continue to study the military past of Russia, ordering archives, construction and restoration of monuments, archaeological excavations on the battlefield, the device of thematic museums and libraries.
