“This festival was originally invented by the Military Historical Society and was almost 100% organized by it. The government of Sevastopol provided us with organizational assistance. New forms are now being sought. Perhaps the Museum of the Defense of Sevastopol will participate more actively in this, which would be logical,” Medinsky said.
Earlier, Sevastopol media reported that the new director of the Defense Museum, Nikolai Musienko, stated that the theme of the festival would be limited only to Russian history (i.e., for example, the reconstruction of the Crimean campaigns of the ancient Romans in Crimea, etc. would be cancelled). In addition, the festival will be moved from Fedyukhin Heights to Istoricheskiy Boulevard, where the possibilities for reconstructions of different eras are limited.
The Crimean military-historical festival was held three times near Sevastopol on the Fedyukhin Heights. It became the largest in Russia. At the festival, 150 clubs from all over the country represented 12 historical eras (from Antiquity to the Cold War) in specially set up camps. Fortifications from different times were recreated at the site, master classes, concerts and large-scale reconstructions of battles were held. Last year, the festival was attended by more than 100 thousand people.
