An audio guide to the State Museum of the Defense of Moscow has been published in the "Discover Moscow" mobile app. During a tour of the exhibition, which recounts the critical months of the autumn and winter of 1941–1942, listeners will learn about the fates of the city's defenders, the daily lives of residents in the capital, and the strategic operations that thwarted the Nazi command's plans.

The audio guide's creation is timed to coincide with a memorable date: September 30, 1941, the beginning of the Moscow Defensive Operation. Following the counteroffensive on December 5, 1941, the German forces were routed and driven back from the city, despite an overwhelming advantage in troops and equipment. To listen to the audio guide, install the "Discover Moscow" app and scan the QR code located near the exhibit.

"The audio guide includes descriptions of nearly a hundred unique exhibits. History will come to life through the soldiers' personal belongings, archival documents, weapon samples, and eyewitness accounts, allowing you to truly appreciate the scale of their heroic deeds. Simply put on your headphones, turn on the audio guide, and the 'Discover Moscow' app will become your personal tour guide through the museum's halls," the Moscow museum's press service noted.

State Museum of the Defense of Moscow Founded in 1979 in memory of the capital's defenders, the museum chronicles the Battle of Moscow—the largest battle of the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945). Thousands of soldiers, commanders, and residents demonstrated unprecedented heroism. About a million defenders received the "For the Defense of Moscow" medal, and 110 were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. In May 1965, Moscow was awarded the title of "Hero City."

The exhibition utilized authentic objects and employed a unique architectural and artistic design. It helps visitors understand what stopped the most powerful army of its time at the borders of Moscow. Museum visitors will learn about the people's militia, air defense, and the everyday life of Muscovites in 1941–1942.

An audio guide will introduce visitors to "Barbarossa," the plan for a surprise invasion of the USSR and its rapid defeat, developed by Nazi Germany in 1940–1941. Its implementation began on June 22, 1941. Initially, events unfolded as the Wehrmacht had anticipated. The plan failed during the Battle of Moscow in December 1941, marking Germany's first major defeat in World War II. The exhibition features a map of the attack, illustrating the course of the operation.

The museum displays archival photographs taken by German photographers throughout the war. Visitors will also see a model loudspeaker. It was through such a loudspeaker that Muscovites heard the announcement of the start of the Great Patriotic War. Similar devices were installed in the streets and squares of the capital.

Among the archival documents on display at the museum is Directive No. 1300 (the plan for Operation Typhoon). It was issued on September 16, 1941. According to the plan, the Nazis were to quickly encircle and defeat Soviet forces west of Moscow in the Vyazma and Bryansk areas with three tank groups, and then capture the USSR capital before the onset of winter. To accomplish this, the German command concentrated the main forces of Army Group Center on the Moscow front—up to 75 percent of the tanks and half of the air force from the Eastern Front. Thus, on September 30, 1941, the Battle of Moscow began.

The audio guide will also highlight other exhibits: soldiers' medallions with information about the soldiers, examples of awards, numerous pieces of equipment, military equipment, and weapons. Among them are a captured German MG 34 machine gun (one of the first general-purpose machine guns), a Soviet heavy machine gun (Maxim), and a German Junkers Ju 88.

The exhibition also features a Soviet I-16 fighter. It was in this aircraft that pilot Viktor Talalikhin performed his heroic deed. On the night of August 6-7, 1941, during another air raid on the capital, he expended all his ammunition and rammed a German bomber. The pilot himself landed by parachute and survived, despite being wounded. A similar parachute is also on display. For his heroic deed, Viktor Talalikhin was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Furthermore, a street in southeastern Moscow was named after him.

The Active Citizen for Children platform summed up the results survey, in which children aged six to 14 chose the most unusual playground in Moscow.

Absolute poll leader The play area in the N.E. Bauman Garden was the winner, with 26 percent of the votes cast. It offers everything for fun, new friendships, shared games, and vibrant experiences—from a magical tree with a slide to a mini-rope town and a mini-climbing wall. You can explore the surroundings from a large ramp, like the deck of a giant ship, stretching across the entire play area. Younger children can enjoy the sandbox and swings.

In second place is the "Spider's Lair" playground in the Kuskovo Forest Park (16 percent of votes). Its bright colors set the mood for exciting adventures. The playground got its name from its tall tower with intricately woven climbing ropes.

Third place, with 15 percent of the votes from young "active citizens," went to the playground in Terletsky Forest Park. It resembles a forest kingdom with fairytale houses. Six towers are connected by walkways, some of which are shaped like giant trees.
