Two new museums will be opened in the republic in the near future at the initiative of the PMR President. One of them, dedicated to victims of political repression, will be opened in the gunpowder magazine cellar (Tiraspol fortress). The second exhibition, reflecting the Scythian section of the history of the Pridnestrovian region, will be placed near the Bendery fortress - in the exhibition hall of the Alexander Nevsky Park. Why these two directions deserve special attention, as well as the practical implementation of the projects was discussed at today's meeting under auspices of the President.

The museum of victims of political repression should be opened in Tiraspol by the memorable date - October 30. A new exposition will be placed on the square, which will be released with the opening of the church in the name of the new martyrs and confessors of the Russian Church (today, Orthodox services are held in the gunpowder magazine cellar). Exhibits for the future of the museum in abundance: many things, household items, found during recent excavations documents, which resulted in the exhumation and reburial of the remains of hundreds of citizens who were shot in 1937 near the walls of the fortress. At the moment, an inventory and the formation of a common base is conducted. Lists of those shot were obtained in the Chisinau National Archives, the President told. In addition, there is furniture for the exposition of the "Cabinet of the NKVD." Vadim Krasnoselsky drew attention to the feasibility of studying the experience of creating similar museums in other cities. The President emphasized that everything is important in organizational matters: the placement of exhibits, lighting design, and informational support are important. The PMR President called the most significant aspect a complete departure from the politicization of the issue. According to him, we are talking about a statement of historical facts, the need to pay tribute to the victims, to preserve information about the past for future generations. Illustration of events connected with repressions against the Cossacks is another point on which Vadim Krasnoselsky focused. This tragic page of the Soviet history is unfairly deprived of the attention of descendants, the President supposes. A part of the exposition of the Tiraspol Fortress military history museum will be devoted to this topic. Vadim Krasnoselsky presented sketches of the monument, which is planned to be installed on the emerging memorial and historical complex. The President drew attention to the need for improvement of the adjacent territory, provision of access roads, footpaths, parking spaces, lighting and other infrastructure units. The Head of the capital administration Oleg Dovgopol is appointed responsible for the implementation of the project.
