On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, together with the Ministry of Defense of Kyrgyzstan, is launching a unique project to create a multimedia exhibition dedicated to the heroic pages of the Great Patriotic War.
The exhibition will be based on rare archival photographs stored in the funds of the Ministry of Defense. These unique photographs exist in a single copy and captured soldiers of the 8th Guards Rifle Rezhitsa Red Banner Order of Lenin Division named after Hero of the Soviet Union I. V. Panfilova. The historical images were published in a special edition in 1955 and the project now gives them new life.
Using artificial intelligence tools, images will be digitized, restored and supplemented with animated elements, allowing viewers to literally plunge into the events of the war years. The project is aimed at preserving the memory of the heroes’ feat and attracting the attention of young people to the history of the Great Patriotic War through modern technologies.
The exhibition will open in 2025 and will become a significant part of the events dedicated to the anniversary of the Victory.
