Navlinsky Museum of Partisan Glory

About museum

The Navlinsky Museum of Partisan Glory was opened on December 21, 1961, in Navlya Secondary School No. 1. In 1968 it was awarded the title "People's Museum of Partisan Glory" and moved to a separate building. Since 1971 the museum has been a branch of the Bryansk State Museum of Local Lore. The exhibition includes sections devoted to the daily life of peasants in the 19th–early 20th centuries, A. D. Vyaltseva, the ancestral estate of the Maslov noble family, the village of Leski, and the ancestral homeland of N. S. Leskov and K. G. Paustovsky in Revny. The main focus of the exhibition is the deeds of the Navlinsky partisans and underground fighters during the Great Patriotic War (World War II). Here visitors can see combat reports, records of sabotage, intelligence reports, schematic maps of deployment and combat operations, front-line and partisan letters, memoirs of former partisans and underground members, as well as items and weapons used by partisans and underground fighters. A special section is dedicated to fellow countrywoman Anastasia Dmitrievna Vyaltseva, where visitors can see her personal belongings and hear recordings of her voice.
