KORNEEV Igor Valerevich

As the director of the Borodino Military History Museum-Reserve, he cooperates with the occupation authorities in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, promotes the legitimisation of russia's occupation of Ukrainian territories and the integration of Ukrainian museums located in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine into the russian cultural space through the implementation of federal cultural and educational projects.
In particular, the Borodino Military History Museum-Reserve, under the leadership of Korneev, opened a children's centre in December 2023 in the Stanytsia Luhanska local history museum under the Ministry of Culture's programme to create children's centres based on museums in the so-called "new regions", which has signs of imposing russian narratives.
Korneev personally took part in the presentation of the children's centre and stressed the need to open children's research and educational centres "here in the new territories".
In addition, in August 2023, Korneev visited the Novopskov District Museum of Local Lore in the temporarily occupied Novopskov, as well as the Luhansk Museum of Local Lore. During the visits, Korneev presented each of the museums with exhibition stands dedicated to the history of the Pskov Dragoon (Kirasyr) Regiment, after which the district centre of Novopskov in the so-called 'LPR' is named. Korneev also presented the museum directors with commemorative medals from the Borodino Museum "For the Preservation of the Cultural and Historical Heritage of russia" as a sign of fruitful cooperation.
