Museum of the history of Vidyaevo village and garrison

On September 21, 2008, on the day of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Vidyaevo,  was opened the Museum of the history of the village and the garrison of Vidyaevo. The opening was attended by employees of all institutions, residents and guests of the village: veteran submariners who arrived at the anniversary of the garrison, relatives of submariners who died on the cruiser Kursk, as well as the son, grandson and great-grandson of the hero of the underwater depths Fedor Vidyaev, whose name the village bears.
