We have many ideas, including historical reconstructions and exhibition projects. We work in close contact with the Ministry of Defense,
Mikhail Myagkov, scientific director of the Russian Military Historical Society, told the newspaper.He emphasized that the creation of the Red Army became one of the most significant events in Russian history of the twentieth century.
The Red Army defeated fascism, and this is the main thing for us. It is important to show continuity. We can not consider events separately from each other. History is continuous, and the traditions of protecting the Fatherland are very important. It is no coincidence that during the war years, the epaulettes, which were initially canceled, were returned to the Red Army. In the USSR, they established orders and medals in honor of the great Russian generals. The modern generation of defenders of the Fatherland is proud of the victories of the Red Army,
