The administration of the Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg has banned the use of German army uniforms during military-historical reenactments as part of the "Night of Museums" event. This was reported by the publication *Rotonda*.

The annual cultural event "Night of Museums" took place in the city from May 17 to 18. This year, the event was held under the theme "Heroes," linked to the "Year of the Defender of the Fatherland" declared by President Vladimir Putin.

According to *Rotonda*, the Artillery Museum traditionally organizes battle reenactments during the event. However, this year, participants were not allowed to wear Wehrmacht uniforms, making it impossible to depict combat episodes from World War II—the "Soviet troops" simply had no one to fight against.
