metadata.value: This article is devoted to changes in the interpretation of the past in the expositions of the
  Artillery Historical Museum during the 1930s. Historical museums, which include the Artillery
  Historical Museum, now called the “Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers
  and Communications”, are able to preserve historical memory. Cooperation with them gave
  the authorities the opportunity to hold their point of view on the past. The key role in the
  representation of history was played by expositions. Information on their changes was obtained
  from unpublished archival documents: exposition plans, business correspondence and
  manuscripts on the history of the museum. The article begins the analysis of expositions from
  the first half of the 1930s. During this period, when showing the history of artillery, the emphasis
  was on division by formation. The article further deals with the re-exposition of 1935.
  An artillery hall and a small arms hall were created. New permanent exhibitions were built on
  a chronological basis, based on division by formation. The article focuses on the temporary
  exhibitions of those years. In 1937 the museum was closed again. The article continues to
  study the expositions opened already in the pre-war years. On November 6, 1939, the artillery
  hall began to work, where the comparative development of foreign and Russian weapons was
  demonstrated. Tight binding to formations has disappeared. The basis for the construction of
  the exhibition was national history. In 1940 three more halls opened: the Ammunition Hall,
  the Suvorov Hall and the Red Army weapons hall. The article ends with the conclusion that
  in the subjects of the exposition there is a transition from a demonstration of the evolution of
  combat weapons in the context of Marxist doctrine to the history of Russian artillery.
