In the first quarter of 2023, representatives from the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Military-Historical Society (RMHS) actively participated in various events commemorating the 81st anniversary of the full liberation of Leningrad from Nazi siege. On January 27th, they visited the To the Memory of Peaceful Citizens of the Soviet Union Who Died During the Great Patriotic War memorial complex in the Gatchina district of Leningrad Region. The initiative for creating this memorial complex was taken by the RMHS and Russian Historical Society.

On February 21, 2025, a one-man show titled No Conversation was held at the Presidential Library in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the ongoing special military operation. The event was organized by the Charity Theater Studio Glagol, the Presidential Library, and the Moscow and St. Petersburg branches of the Russian Military Historical Society (RMHS).

The one-man performance was part of an educational and patriotic initiative called Let's Bring Back the Name of Hero Writer and Siege Runner Matvey Tevelev From Oblivion, which was based on his personal stories about the war.

In the first quarter of 2025, the St. Petersburg Regional Branch of the Russian Military Historical Society (RMHS) co-organized the Heroes of Our Time exhibition, which opened on February 24th, 2025 at the Presidential Library in St. Petersburg.

The exhibition features paintings and graphic works by the renowned St. Petersburg artist, Anatoly Annenkov. These works depict portraits of soldiers who served in the Special Forces and civilians who were rescued by them during the operation. Currently, visitors can access the exhibition exhibits through the Presidential Library's online portal from anywhere in the world.

Plans for the second quarter of 2025 were also discussed at a meeting of the St. Petersburg Regional Branch Council of the Russian Military Historical Society (RMHS). One of the major events is the opening of an exhibition titled Memory of Generations: The Great Victory!, which will mark the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Organized by the Russian Military Historical Society in collaboration with the Presidential Library, the exhibition will open on May 27th, a significant day in St. Petersburg's history, commemorating the founding of the city and the birthdays of both the All-Russia Library Day and the Presidential Library itself.
