World history: Exhibition “Unforgotten Heroes of the Forgotten War” in Vladimir

August 1, 2014 in the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum Reserve was opened the exhibition "Unforgotten Heroes of the Forgotten War".

The exhibition is a joint project of the State Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve and the Vladimir Regional branch of the Russian Military-Historical Society.

Exactly one year ago, the museum declared the action "Let's make an exhibition to the First World War Centenary together". Residents of Vladimir and the region, museum workers, teachers, librarians, historians passed the museum photographs, letters, and documents. The website of the museum-reserve opened a virtual exhibition on the course of action. The results of the joint work were the restoration of the names and fates of more than 150 participants in the First World War.

In parallel there were studied archival documents, exhibits, stored in the museum-reserve. It was created an electronic database of Vladimir residents - participants of the First World War. Now it contains information about four thousand people.

The war at the exhibition is palpable and voluminous: the area of Suzdal in August fourteenth, the dug a trench, the Vladimir apartment of the wartime. But the main color of the trade show - faces of the soldiers and officers, their eyes, through which the "forgotten" war is opened.
