- Military Historical Museum Named After D.K. Udovikov
The Military History Museum named after D.K.Udovikov was founded in Drogichin on November 14, 1990 by the decision of the Drogichin District Executive Committee on the initiative of the Pinsk Society of Partisan Veterans. The museum received its first visitors on August 25, 1994. In December 1995, the museum was awarded the honorary title "People", on December 12, 2000 he was given the name of Dmitry Karpovich Udovikov, the former chief of staff of the partisan brigade named after Molotov. The Pinsk Partisan Veteran Society arose in 1988. The main goal of the society is to unite all the former partisans who fought against the fascist invaders as part of the Pinsk partisan formation under the command of Vasily Korzh. The first leader of the company was D.K. Udovikov. The council of the company was in Drogichin. In 1990, the district executive committee handed over the building to the society, which housed the Museum of Partisan Glory (this is the first name of the museum) and the Council of the society. After the opening of the exposition, the museum became the base for events on the heroic-patriotic education of youth. Its first director was Elena Bruhan, the former 2nd secretary of the Drogichin district committee of the Communist Party of Belarus, which during the war was a partisan of the N. Shish detachment. On July 17, 1998, a memorial sign “Partisan Glory” was opened in front of the museum. The names of the partisan detachments and the names of their commanding staff operating during the Great Patriotic War on the territory of the Drogichinsky and Ivanovo regions are marked on its granite slabs. On April 21, 2004, the museum was transferred to the culture department of the Drogichin district executive committee, and on December 30, 2005, a branch of the city House of Culture “Center for Hero-Patriotic Youth Education named after DK Udovikov” was created on the basis of the museum. As of 2012, the main fund of the museum amounted to 527 storage units, and scientific and auxiliary - 2188 items. These are mainly photographs, documents, memoirs and letters of partisan veterans. The museum’s collection contains personal belongings of guerrilla movement leaders, weapons of the Great Patriotic War. The museum operates the teenage club "Azimuth", which deals with identifying the names of dead defenders of the Fatherland and victims of the war, who are considered unknown. Members of the club found 3 mass graves of the Great Patriotic War, established 92 names of partisans and soldiers of the Red Army.
