It is dedicated to the 26th anniversary of the Soviet troops withdrawal from Afghanistan
As the director the Military Hall of Fame Ekaterina Bespalko noted in the interview to our reporter, the collection of the artifacts concerning the Afghan soldiers is refreshed every year. The museum’s staff gets these artifacts from the combatants. It should be noted that 224 Rybnitsa residents participated in the military operations in Afghanistan and 9 of them never came back home.
“We talk to the soldiers-internationalists every year and ask their opinion, we add materials, we hold the meetings. The events start from this day at the exhibition’s opening, then the meeting, and we make the conclusion with our lectures at schools and universities” Ekaterina Bespalko noted.
The Military Hall of Fame is being prepared for the 70th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War Victory. In this regard, the event “In the Name of the Fallen and the Living” is held for collecting the memoirs of the veterans’ relatives.
