Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Residents of Moscow have received an additional opportunity to search for information about their ancestors and compile a family tree. They can find them in the capital's Main Archive, which published documents from 1812 in the virtual museum "Moscow - with care for history". This was reported on October 22 by Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development Anastasia Rakova. “This year, the capital’s Main Archives Department published lists of those awarded for participating in the Patriotic War of 1812 <…> the new section contains not only the names of officers, but also privates, militiamen, partisans, townspeople, and even peasants who became heroes of those distant events,” the deputy mayor noted. Information about officers, soldiers and peasants who distinguished themselves in battles with Napoleon is available in the new section "Heroes of the War of 1812". In the virtual museum, you can also find historical information about the ancestors of city residents who lived through the Great Patriotic War. For example, in the "Collections" subsection of the "1941-1945" hall, you can see the names of Muscovites who performed labor feats during the war, awarded the "For the Defense of Moscow" medal, as well as lists of soldiers who defended the skies above the city. Citizens can find the names of their relatives among half a million people - not only military personnel, but also civilians. All surnames are listed in alphabetical order. As reported by the Regnum news agency, an archive was discovered in Moscow that could have belonged to the writer and journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky. The materials were handed over to the city's cultural heritage department by one of the Russian capital's historians. It is known that he acquired these archives at Moscow book stalls. Among the artifacts were letters addressed to Vladimir Gilyarovsky, business cards, notes written by his hand, articles, essays, reviews and more. Posted by: badanov 2024-10-23 |
