The event is organized by the International Students and Faculty Department
Patriot Park in Kubinka is an ideal place for those who want to get more involved into history and appreciate the power of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The park is a large-scale complex consisting of many military-patriotic expositions, museum sites, exhibition centers and locations. The park quickly became popular among Russians, foreigners and tourists of all ages.
During the event, international students took part in two excursion programs – "Partisan Village" and "Armor of the Great Patriotic War".
The Partisan Village complex includes 17 objects: "Headquarters Dugout", "Saboteur School", "Red Corner", "Bathhouse", sleeping dugouts, weapons and ammunition storage and others. This complex is a collective image of all the partisan villages that existed during the Great Patriotic War. For the convenience of visitors, the objects are built in the form of dugouts, but the decoration and utensils inside them are recreated for certain from photographs and memoirs of partisan movement participants.
The program "Armor of the Great Patriotic War" allowed foreign students to learn the history of individual samples of weapons and military equipment that were used by the warring parties in different periods of the Second World War, as well as to have the opportunity to compare their combat capabilities.
International students learned about the light tanks of the Red Army during the initial war period, about the legendary T-34 and T-34-85 tanks, which are rightfully considered Victory tanks and symbols of liberation. At the same time, there were powerful equipment of fascist Germany on the sites: Pz-IV, "Tigers" and self-propelled guns. British and American combat vehicles made it possible to reveal the significance of the Lend-Lease program in the approach of Victory.
