Abstract

The features of sustainable activity of military theme parks in the conditions of a pandemic are revealed on the example of the Kulikovo Field Museum-Reserve, Tula Region, Russia. Similar foreign parks, their sizes and attendance data are considered. Russian thematic objects were highlighted, a sociological survey of students of the National Research University of the Moscow State Construction University was carried out to identify the recognition and attendance of these public areas in the period 2020-2021. The reason for considering this object was the results of a comprehensive analysis of military theme parks, among which Kulikovo Field stood out for its innovative approaches to museum activities. The author’s material clearly demonstrates the transformation of the historical territory and its filling with new museum objects in a short time. A diagram of the location of the main objects in the territory of the museum-reserve is presented and their description is given. In the discussion of the results, it is offered to consider the use of virtual technologies in the Kulikovo Field Museum. By the time the pandemic began, VR technologies had already been introduced, which made it possible to continue the work of the museum-reserve in remote mode, providing an opportunity to get acquainted with the exposition remotely. It is offered to consider the park attendance schedules obtained as a result of online monitoring of Yandex electronic resources, carried out from the end of 2020 to the present. As a result of the study, it was determined that the system has not yet been worked out: the information does not reflect an objective picture in the form of numerical values, it is updated without specifying the frequency of updates and is only informational in nature. The park administration facilitated the work and provided official data, which helped to establish a significant difference between the sources of information. As expected, there is seasonality and unevenness in visiting the territory, which is associated with national holidays, vacations and weather conditions. This confirmed the need for material selection and careful verification. Therefore, the study showed that, despite the difficult epidemiological situation, there is an interest in visiting a military theme park, and hence the social demand for the complex. This feature develops the tourist potential of the territory during the period of lifting of restrictive measures.
