Secondo fonti russe, in occasione delle celebrazioni del 65° anniversario della vittoria della Seconda guerra mondiale che si celebrerà il prossimo 9 maggio, il Ministero della Difesa della Russia renderà disponibili in Rete documenti d'archivio del periodo della guerra.Si parla di un patrimonio di 204.000 documenti, inclusi quelli relativi alle operazioni militari.I primi documenti saranno presumibilmente disponibili intorno ai primi di maggio.L'archivio digitale continuerà ad essere implementato fino al 2012.Sul sito del Ministero della Difesa russo non sono ancora disponibili informazioni dettagliate sul progetto, ma è stata allestita una pagina dall'Ufficio Stampa - al momento ancora priva di contenuti - che potrebbe presto ospitare il link all'archivio digitale.Riportiamo la fonte dalla quale abbiamo desunto la notizia:Documents dating back to the first days and months of the war are  expected to appear in this section of the site by the 65th anniversary of victory, celebrated on May 9th. A total of 204  thousand documents, including those concerning military operations,  will become available. The electronic repository is planned to be  updated with historical facts of WWII until 2012. Dometiy Zavolsky, an  employee of the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History,  is hopeful that all documents at the disposal of the Russian Defense  Ministry will be included in the electronic archive:"It is quite natural that the Ministry first started digitizing orders  of the High Command. But it is necessary to create a full database on  all soldiers of the Red Army, Navy, and Border Troops during the Second  World War. Such databases have been established in all countries  concerned about preserving their historical memory. And in Russia, which  went through the terrible war, a similar base will be of paramount  importance".Creators of the archive pledge to eternize the memory of all heroes of  the war, regardless their ranks and awards. Visitors of the web site  will be able to get acquainted with descriptions of 30 million heroic  deeds of Soviet soldiers and officers. Descendants of soldiers killed in  the WWII will gain direct access to copies of wartime documents. The  overall weight of archive material involved will account for nearly 400  tons in paper equivalent.Setting up an electronic repository of documents on a key period in  modern history ranks second to none in size, historical and social  significance. It is therefore expected to become a monument to the  people's achievements, project organizers say.[da: The Voice of Russia via Archivalia]Aggiornamento: i documenti sono già disponibili. Leggi qui.
