Artifacts from the special military operation zone have been transferred to the museum "Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad." The Leningrad Region Transport Committee handed over these items to the museum, which will incorporate them into its exhibitions. The move is part of efforts to commemorate the sacrifices made during the operation, especially as 2025 has been declared the Year of the Defender of the Fatherhood in Russia.
The artifacts include military uniforms, signs, and printed materials such as books, newspapers, and leaflets. Among the notable items are a sign from the city of Yenakievo in the DPR, which has become a sister city to the Leningrad Region, and a route indicator from public transport. These objects will help create a unique exhibition dedicated to the ongoing conflict.
Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg, the historical park "Russia – My History" is hosting an exhibition featuring captured military equipment from Ukrainian and NATO forces. The display has drawn significant attention since its opening, particularly during the Day of National Unity last fall.
The collaboration between the Transport Committee and the museum has been ongoing for years, with the committee actively collecting items related to the special military operation. According to officials, these artifacts will serve as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifices of those involved in the conflict.
As the museum prepares to integrate these new pieces into its collection, visitors will have the opportunity to see firsthand the tangible remnants of the ongoing operation, offering a deeper understanding of its historical and cultural significance.
