Borodin Day

Our friends from the Borodino Field Museum-Reserve celebrated the 185th anniversary with the military-historical festival “Borodino Day” and the opening of the exhibition “Captured Guns of 1812”, created with the support of the Moscow Metrostroy.

“Borodino Field” is the oldest in the world's museum of those created on the battlefields. Here is a memorial to the Moscow metro builders who erected defensive structures in 1941. Last year, the memorial monument was repaired by the Moscow Metrostroy. This summer, our company helped the museum restore an exhibition of historical tools.

Thanks to the Department of Special Works of Mosmetrostroy for high quality and efficiency!
