Good day, friend. We are glad to welcome you to our museum page.

INTRODUCTION
The theme of patriotism has deep historical roots. It is impossible to be a patriot without knowledge of the history of Russia, without analyzing the behavior of its people in defending the Fatherland, without cultivating the spiritual qualities of our ancestors. Crises and various troubles “come” and “go”. There is only one homeland, and love for it is inexhaustible.
In the history of our country there have been defeats, invasions of foreigners, but strong in the spirit of its people, selfless devotion and dedication of soldiers, with arms in hand defending the faith, honor and independence of their state, in decisive battles Russia always won.
Victories of Russian weapons over the enemies of the Fatherland have always been celebrated in Russia in order to preserve in the memory of generations the military feats of their ancestors. Russian Orthodox Church special “victorial days” were established (from Victoria - in Roman mythology the goddess of victory). Those were the days when Russian society paid tribute to the military feat, glory and valor of its defenders, and the serving people felt more deeply their involvement in the glorious deeds of our ancestors.
In order to perpetuate in the people's memory key moments in the history of the Russian state, on February 10, 1995, the Federal Law “On the Days of Military Glory (Victory Days) of Russia” was adopted, which was signed by the President on March 13 of the same year Russian Federation.
