Speaking on April 19 at the session of the Board of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, its head and President of the RGS Sergei Shoigu noted the importance of scientific and research work of the Russian Geographical Society.

Sergei Shoigu, in particular, noted the expedition "Remember the War". According to him, such a large-scale search was not carried out either in Soviet times or after. 12 ships and vessels of the Northern Fleet were involved in exploration of the Barents and Kara Seas.
