To all:

There is a new museum in Moscow - The Musuem of Heroes of the Soviet Union, Russia and Full Cavaliers of the Order of Glory. It is located on Bolshaya Cheremushkinskaya Ulitsa. Details follow below (in Russian). Be sure to check it out the next time you are in Mockba.

Первый в России музей Героев Советского Союза, России и полных кавалеров ордена Славы открылся в Москве на Большой Черемушкинской улице.

В музее собраны уникальные фотографии, документы, личные вещи, переписка и воспоминания героев. Многие экспонаты повествуют об истории Золотой Звезды и ордена Славы.

Центральными экспонатами музея являются портреты и личные вещи первого Героя Советского Союза - летчика Анатолия Ляпидевского.

Общественный музей Героев Советского Союза, Российской Федерации и полных кавалеров ордена Славы начал функционировать в Москве еще в 2001 году в помещении Общественного фонда поддержки героев на улице Кржижановского.

На Поклонной горе планируется открыть еще один музей, который будет отражать все этапы самой ожесточенной и важной битвы - битвы под Москвой.

This seems to be a private museum rather than a government one?

Most interesting. Thanks.

Now . . . who will visit and report back??

[Paul L Murphy]

I plan to visit Moscow in early May so this is now definitely on the agenda.

Does the museum have a website already ?

I'd be in Moscow beginning of April.

But, more details needed : location, etc... Let's find these.

I guess some of our Moscovite members could help... and maybe visit it.

Many thanks Slava for the info.

Cheers.

You guess, there might be a Russian variant of the British "Lord Ashcan" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ashcr..._Baron_Ashcroft , who built up an own museum for his incredible VC-collection .

There has been a lot of private museums opening up in Russia over the past few years. I suspect that trend to be implicitly "encouraged" by the authorities.

Interesting. You wonder how much ex-public-museum material is winding up in them. Does anyone check THOSE serial numbers? We all know the answers . . . ?

Dear Ed,

we can see this as something like a PPP (Private Public Partnership) .
