The All-Russian Historical Reconstruction Festival dedicated to the 210th anniversary of the triumphant entry of the Russian army into Paris took place at the RUSSIA EXPO.

"Today in Russia, there are about 42 thousand reenactors, of which about 5 thousand are young people. It is important for us to involve the younger generation because reconstructions recreate scenarios of historical events. It is such formats that allow both adults and children to immerse themselves in different historical eras: from Antiquity to the Napoleonic battles. The reconstruction of historical events recreates a vivid picture of the heroic past of our ancestors, reminds us of their feats, accomplishments for the good of Russia, thanks to which we have the most beautiful Motherland on Earth. Today, at the All-Russian Historical Reconstruction Festival, organized annually by the Rospatriot program of Rosmolodezh and the All-Russian Public Movement "ROSRECON," reenactors recreated the Assault on Paris in 1814. Knowing the responsibility with which representatives of this community approach their work, it can be said that the preservation of historical truth is in reliable hands," said Elena Belikova, head of the Rospatriot program of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs.

Visitors to the Exposition saw with their own eyes the marching camps of the Russian army, interactive platforms with objects from the XIX century, cavalry competitions in horse riding, and demonstration rides in ladies' horse riding. The most vivid event of the day was the military-historical reconstruction "Assault on Paris. 1814", in which more than 200 reenactors from all over the country took part.

"We recreate the Russian Imperial Army of 1812. A regiment from Ufa participated in the Patriotic War and reached Paris. We, natives of Ufa, decided to recreate this regiment during the reconstruction. On June 12, 1812, according to the old style, Napoleon's army invaded Russian territory, but now for us, this day is Russia Day. On this day, we remember the heroes of those years, the heroes of the Patriotic War," said the head of the military-historical club "Ufa Infantry Regiment" Ramil Rakhimov.

As part of the festival, Exposition visitors also saw a procession dedicated to the entry of the Russian army into Paris through the gates of Saint-Martin, cavalry competitions in horse riding, and demonstration performances in ladies' horse riding.
