President of Russia: Vladimir Putin met with the Founding Congress of the Russian Military Historical Society participants

March 14, 2013 Vladimir Putin met with participants of the Founding Congress of the Russian Military Historical Society public and state organization.

The Military Historical Society continues the traditions of the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society, which was founded in 1907 and functioned until the 1917 revolution. Its main objective is to combine the efforts of the public and the state in studying the national military history and preserving national memory.

“In the Central Great Patriotic War Museum on Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow held a landmark event: the Russian Military Historical Society resumed its functions after an interval of over one hundred years. It was founded in 1907 and initially engaged in a very noble objective: compiling achievements in military science, working on military history and military archaeology”.

It is very nice that today, the work of similar organizations is being revived. As you know, we already have active Orthodox Palestinian Society, Russian Geographical Society, Russian Historical Society, and now we have Russian Military Historical Society as well”, - noted the head of state during the meeting.
