Memory of the World: Crimean Military-historical Festival will be held in Sevastopol

From 9 to 14 of September 2014, on the territory of Fedyuhin Heights, near Pervomaika village will be held Crimean Military-historical Festival. The organizers are planning to rebuild all ages, beginning from the Scythians, to Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient Russia and ending with the Crimean and the Great Patriotic Wars.

The festival will bring together approximately 1,000 rebuilders from the different regions of Russia. Several historical periods - from the era of ancient Rome to the XX century - will be deployed in front of the audience. The festival field will be roughly zoned into a few reflecting all eras in the history of the Crimea sites, where "Middle Ages" and "New Age" will be the major.

According to the "Battle Array" Historical Projects Agency (Moscow) managing partner Aleksey Ovcharenko, "in some point the festival is thought as a forum allowing the rebuilders to present the projects to their colleagues from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, Samara and to aggregate a single All-Russian military-historical calendar of events."

The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Russian military-historical society are the project coordinators.

The slopes of Fedyuhin Heights were the place of fierce battles between Russian and French armies on August 4, 1855, on a day of Chernorechensky Battle.

Starting on 2008, near Sevastopol "Alminskoe Deal" Military-historical Festival exposes to a wide public the details of the history of the Crimean War of 1853-1856. In 2014 the festival will take place a week after the Crimean Military-historical Festival.
