The discussion is devoted to the role of museums and cultural institutions in the context of preserving historical truth and the memory of heroic pages of Russian history. Museums and exhibition spaces act as a place where the ideology related to history and memory of generations is formed, a place where everyone can touch artifacts, feel the spirit of different eras and feel involved in something bigger — the history of their state.
