One of the priority directions in its activity was the preservation of the memory of the Great Patriotic War. The Crimean department of the organization began its work in 1966. The society was engaged in the improvement of mass graves, monuments and memorial sites. With his participation, work was carried out on the creation, repair and restoration of obelisks, the installation of memorial tablets. The search activity associated with the identification of abandoned memorable objects, the establishment of the names of the soldiers buried in unmarked graves was of great importance.
