Interview with the director of the State Borodino Military Historical Museum-Reserve Igor Korneev:
Have you had any experience working in the museum field?
For the last few years I have worked at the Russian Historical Society, and before that I had experience working as the director of a cultural and exhibition center in Smolensk. Everything had to be developed from scratch, and, of course, when there is a foundation, it is easier to work than to form it yourself: recruit a team and choose the direction of work. In Smolensk, in my opinion, we managed to create a unique platform, visiting which people always encountered something new, unusual, and really looked forward to our events. The very visit to the center became an event for them. The key to success, it seems to me, was that the center was visitor-oriented. The Internet provided a huge help to our team, since when planning events we relied primarily on the interests of different groups of people on social networks.
Did you work in similar areas at RVIO?
Yes. At first it was the Museum of the Military Historical Society, then, in the rank of advisor to the executive director of the Russian Military Historical Society, he oversaw traveling exhibition projects, including such a global one as “Remember... The world was saved by a Soviet soldier!” According to preliminary estimates, the exhibition was visited by more than 1 million people throughout Russia.
Did you manage the process from Moscow?
Such a serious project requires personal presence in the regions, and its success largely depends on this. I built relationships with local authorities, supervised the editing and the entire media component. I was pleased to work because I saw that people needed it, including regional leadership. In general, there are very few federal-scale exhibitions such as “Remember... The World Was Saved by a Soviet Soldier!” and “Soviet Nuremberg” in the regions.
Tell us about the project you supervised as part of the Year of Russian Cinema?
This is the traveling project "Our Movie Heroes". It is unique in terms of implementation. This is a transforming machine that turns into an exhibition hall, where, among other things, we showed films created with the support of the Russian Military Historical Society and the Ministry of Culture of Russia. Inside there is an exhibition with display cases and information about the actors who served and were participants in the Great Patriotic War. People's first reaction is surprise, since most do not expect to see a full-fledged exhibition, much less combined with a cinema hall. For example, in Kostroma, schoolchildren aged 12-14 came to us. So, the whole class sat and watched “Brest Fortress”. The development of the Internet and digital technologies has influenced children; today they live differently. But when I see that teenagers enjoy watching our patriotic films, I conclude that we are on the right path.
You have quite a wealth of experience in the field of museum and exhibition activities. How do you plan to structure your work in your new position? Will there be an emphasis on unique projects?
In fact, we have three military fields in Russia - Kulikovo, Borodino and Prokhorovka. Borodino is an excellent brand, primarily in the field of military-historical tourism. Now the first priority is to increase its attendance by both Russian and foreign tourists, that is, to make the museum more interesting for the public, a place for family recreation. Tourism is by far the main investment. But in order to attract tourists, events should not be monotonous and repeated from month to month - the visitor must be surprised. People should know that when they come to the museum, they will always see something new and they will want to come back here again. It’s difficult for me to answer which path we will take, since the appointment has just taken place, but I can already say that the number of significant events will be significantly increased. In addition, we will resolve issues of transport accessibility and further improvement of the museum-reserve. A memorable historical place - "Borodino" - is an excellent field for the implementation of large-scale projects related to the popularization of the country's history and preserving the memory of its heroic past.
