These included signs to the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill, to the houses where marshals and heroes of the Soviet Union lived, and to war memorials. Later, the project was expanded to include information about Russian space explorers, explorers, geographers, and cultural figures.

In 2025, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the streets of Moscow were marked with memorials to the heroic deeds of veterans of the 1941–1945 war. In the Novomoskovsky Administrative Okrug—in the Kommunarka district, on Scandinavian Boulevard, and on Edvard Griga Street—city signs with QR codes were installed, telling the story of the exploits of intelligence officer Gevork Vartanyan. Furthermore, new pedestrian navigation elements will provide information about the monuments within the Victory Museum dedicated to the heroes of Russia and participants in the special military operation, and will also point the way to them.
