According to its director Elena Lezik, residents actively join the voting and support the museum, which has already collected almost 30 thousand votes.
"Practice shows that thematic institutions often have a drop in visits when another memorable date passes. There is no such thing in our museum, we always have a lot of visitors. Residents of St. Petersburg, guests of our city treat the museum with particular reverence. This is really our history, the history of our families. We often read such messages in the book of reviews: "We went to St. Petersburg specially to visit the Museum of Defense", — said Lezik.
In addition to the presented exposition, the museum is also responsible for the preservation and restoration of many exhibits, for scientific and publishing work. Now the Institute for the Study of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad works on its basis.
