20 members of Special Military Operation (SMO) visited the Armoury Chamber with a guided tour. The event was held within the framework of the project "The Service of SMO Veterans Support", organized by the All-Russian People’s Front. The project is aimed to help wounded soldiers and officers to come back to social life, lift the restrictions and give new opportunities.

Sergey Brun, Head of the Guide-Methodical Department of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, gave a tour round the Armoury Chamber. The guests became acquainted with the museum’s art pieces, the expositions of state regalia, equipages, secular costume and church vestments, as well as other halls of the museum-treasury, which tell about the landmarks in the history of Russian statehood.

Sergey Brun has demonstrated the masterpieces of tsars' ceremonial weapon and artefacts of Russian military glory that cover seven centuries - from the Mongolian times till the dawn of the Muscovy Tsardom and from the Northern War of Peter the Great till the Russian-Turkish and Napolean wars.

“For centuries long, the Armoury Chamber keeps our wonderful and unique heritage. Its preservation has always been connected with the protection of the Russian state borders. On the one hand, it is the museum that preserves it, but, on the other hand, the state defence is in your hands, since it is your service and your dedication that preserves it. Never would these treasures reach us without your predecessors, neither would they reach our descendants without you,” underlined Sergey Brun, addressing the guests.

*All-Russian People’s Front was established in 2011 upon Russian President Putin’s initiative. During the years of work, the front created a number of social centres, monitoring the problems of ecology and forest protection, quality and availability of public health; organized the 24-hours “hot line” #МыВместе (#WeAreTogether) and several other projects. In 2022, the People’s Front launched a project supporting the defenders of Donbass "Everything for the Victory!".
