"Culture cannot be quarantined", - these are the words of the Executive Director Of the Museum of military history of the Russian Military-Historical society Elena Sinitsina welcomed journalists at a special press screening of the project " Suvorov. To the 290th anniversary of his birth".
In honor of the anniversary of the great commander, The Military Uniform Museum and the State memorial Museum of A.V. Suvorov created a joint project. Alexander Vasilyevich is represented as a patriot and a great thinker, a husband, father and friend, a man who has done a great job on himself, who has overcome many personal obstacles and hardships.
The project contains the Generalissimo's personal belongings, weapons, ammunition and uniforms, as well as awards, trophies and a death mask. All these relics were carefully preserved in the A.V. Suvorov Memorial Museum in St. Petersburg and are now on display in Moscow for the first time.
The ceremony was attended by Vladimir Medinsky, assistant to the President of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Russian Military-Historical society, and Vladimir Gronsky, Director of the A.V. Suvorov state memorial Museum.
Several years ago, the Russian military historical society conducted a huge survey together with the TV channel" Russia " - who are the most popular Russian commanders and military leaders of all times and peoples. There were also old Moscow, Imperial, and Soviet military leaders, but the first place was taken by a large margin by Alexander Suvorov. This is a man-victory, a commander who has not suffered a single defeat in his life.
