"Vechernaya Moskva" and the Victory Museum launched a joint campaign

On the eve of Defender of the Fatherland Day, the capital's media holding Vechernyaya Moskva and Russia's largest military history museum, the Victory Museum, announced the start of a joint campaign timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Readers of the holding's newspapers, vm.ru website and Vecherka's social networks can send to the editorial office stories about relatives who went through the war: full name, years of life, if known, a story of up to 2.5 thousand characters and a photo.

Some of the sent materials will be published in various channels of "Vechernyaya Moskva", and the whole collected archive will be transferred for eternal storage to the Museum of Victory, where all the stories of the project can be seen in the hall "Faces of Victory" on a huge multimedia wall.

"Faces of Victory" is a unique nationwide historical project dedicated to the entire military generation: front-line soldiers and those who worked in the rear or in captivity, partisans and concentration camp prisoners, children of the war and those who lived in the occupied territories. Over the 5 years of the project's existence, more than 1.2 million stories have been collected.
