Before National Unity Day, third- and fourth-year students majoring in Advertising and Public Relations, led by instructors Olga Vasilyeva and Alexandra Timokhovich, visited the Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812 to refresh their memories of the Napoleonic Wars.
During the tour, the children examined over 2,000 exhibits and learned about the exploits of Russian soldiers and commanders who demonstrated impressive courage and selflessness. "I was particularly struck by the 'Road to Triumph' hall, dedicated to the Russian army's foreign campaigns and the decisive battles leading to victory over Napoleon. The exhibit vividly illustrates the journey from the expulsion of the invaders from Russia to the complete defeat of the French army, highlighting the genius of the commanders and the indomitable spirit of the Russian people. This is not just a chronology of victories, but a story of the unity of nations in the struggle for freedom," shared Emilia Vasilenko.
The museum's exhibition is structured chronologically, from the early 19th century to the end of the pan-European confrontation of 1815. Display cases feature reconstructed uniforms of the Russian and French armies, weapons, and authentic items from soldiers' everyday lives. Modern multimedia technologies make the visit interactive and visual.
"When you stand before the authentic uniform of a private from the Pavlovsky Grenadier Regiment, and interactive battle maps come to life on the wall, it's a powerful experience. This combination allows you to study the tactical aspects of the battle in detail. We felt how important it is to preserve the memory of the past and share it with others," said Ekaterina Smirnova.
Students were able to experience the world of commanders-in-chief, see the personal belongings of Emperors Alexander I and Napoleon Bonaparte, and the monumental paintings of Vasily Vereshchagin and the final hall with military trophies vividly demonstrated the triumph of the Russian army.
"The museum visit was a true journey through history, helping us feel the spirit of the times and understand how culture and communication intertwine even in a museum setting. For us, communications students, the museum became an example of how to connect with an audience without words—through emotion, aesthetics, and atmosphere. The combination of historical accuracy, modern technology, and rare exhibits makes the museum's exhibition not just educational, but truly vibrant and emotional," noted Angelina Igoshina.
