254 museums from 11 countries joined the "Victory Territory" project. Moscow hosted an international forum uniting museum of the history of World War II. More than 220 exhibitions in 80 museum centers were dedicated to the Great Patriotic War this year alone. Among the most significant projects are the exhibitions "Brest Hero Fortress", "Siege of Leningrad" and "Stalingrad Snipers". According to the data of the Victory Museum, they were attended by up to 100 thousand visitors in different countries. During the forum, the Belarusian Center for Spiritual Revival donated the unique relics to the Victory Museum on the Poklonnaya Hill. This is a pencil drawing of a participant of the Battle of Rzhev Lieutenant Vasily Sobolev, his portrait and a copy of a letter from liberated Berlin on July 9, 1945.

The historians of Belarus and Russia presented a joint monograph "Polish Terror in Belarus during World War II". The materials of the book are based on the previously classified documents of the USSR NKVD. The publication is unique because for the first time in Russian historiography there are archival data about the Polish nationalist Armia Krajowa and its punitive actions against civilians, Soviet partisans and the Red Army in the USSR.
