What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than one central fairground, the festival spreads across 54 separate Moscow venues simultaneously, each typically devoted to a distinct historical period, so visitors can move between a Kievan Rus encampment, a Napoleonic-era battle reenactment and a twentieth-century military display within a single day

02

The mystery stays covered

Over 1,150 hours of workshops let attendees try period skills directly, from calligraphy and archery to bayonet drill, taught by the reenactors who also perform the staged battles
