In the hearts of Russians, the bright memory of those who fell on the battlefields still lives on, along with immense gratitude for the heroes who fought on the front lines and worked selflessly in the rear, bringing closer the Victory of our Homeland in the most brutal and bloody war in human history.

From the very first days of the war, the Moscow Kremlin became the most important center for managing the country, where the main goals and tasks were formulated, and the state strategy was defined during the difficult years of the Great Patriotic War. This website features the latest scientific research, videos, photographs, and documentary materials dedicated to the history of the Kremlin during the Great Patriotic War, publications of unique archival documents related to the work of the Soviet government, the State Defense Committee, and the Supreme Command Headquarters in the Kremlin. Here, you can learn about the history of the Museums of the Moscow Kremlin from 1941 to 1945, the operation to evacuate the Kremlin's treasures to Sverdlovsk, the selfless work of staff to preserve, study, describe collections, and restore artefacts during the war, and the creation of a new exhibition in the Armory Chamber upon returning to Moscow.
