The theme of the Patriotic War of 1812 truly became a key part of the "Times and Epochs" program in 2026.
The organizers created a truly immersive experience.

People could see the daily life of both the Russian and French sides: tents, uniforms (shakos, dolmans, and mentiks), artillery, and a Cossack bivouac.

Everyday life and other activities. In addition to the war, they also showed civilian life: a ladies' salon, a teahouse, traditional games, and carpentry. There were also themed areas—a recruiting school, a regimental forge, a ranger's headquarters, and an antique barber shop.
