Museum of Technology Vadim Zadorozhnogo

The museum was created in 2001 at the initiative of collector and entrepreneur Vadim Zadorozhniy . At that moment, it was a street exposition of 10 samples of military equipment. The official opening of the museum complex took place on April 12, 2008. Over the years, the museum has expanded tens of times, a modern building has been built, as well as restoration workshops. In 2012, Zadorozhny spoke about the dynamic development of the museum: “We are developing, and we have only one request: do not interfere. For military historical aircraft, we pay a transport tax. For 12 aircraft, the treasury receives 4.5 million rubles a year. If they don’t bother us, we will build the best museum in Europe ” ^[2] .

On the territory of the museum is the Voenfilm film studio, created by Igor Ugolnikov and Vadim Zadorozhny .

As of 2014, the exhibition of the Vadim Zadorozhny Museum of Technology contained about 1000 exhibits, including unique retro cars (from steam agricultural cars of the 19th century to Soviet and foreign cars of the 1960s), motorcycles , serial and rare prototypes of military equipment ( tanks , airplanes , rocket launchers , etc.), small arms , a collection of advertising and propaganda posters, cameras and agit porcelain. A number of exhibits are on the move and regularly take part in various historical reconstructions. One of them was the reconstruction of military equipment and vehicles of the Great Patriotic War to participate in the event on Red Square on November 7, 2011.
