In the year of the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory, the category My Country. My History. My Victory has rightfully become the most important and numerous one, and the young participants’ wide geography, coverage, activity and interest are contributing to the common cause of preserving the memory of the combatants and victorious nations, preventing manifestations of Nazism in any form and consolidating the unity of Russia’s multi-ethnic people.

In his remarks, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service and Chairman of the Russian Historical Society Sergei Naryshkin noted that the current history forum is a good opportunity to exchange experience, learn something new and jointly try to outline new areas of activity, come up with new interesting formats of historical education that will be popular with the youth and will effectively and reliably protect the historical truth.

Following the official part of the forum, the participants and guests laid flowers in the Hall of Memory and Grief in gratitude to the Soviet soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War.
