About the Project

Welcome to the coordination platform for youth search squads! Here, we unite young, ambitious, and passionate historical researchers.


"Echo of the Past" is an online information platform for school search squads. The project aims to preserve memory, conduct archaeological and archival searches for ancient items, artifacts, and historical evidence. This initiative fosters the development of patriotic volunteering among students.

"The expedition to Leningrad Oblast was the best thing that happened to me this summer! We found a bunch of artifacts, and the atmosphere in the camp was unreal. The metal detectors work perfectly, and the organization is top-notch."

"An amazing project! I help with archival research and processing finds at the 'Kompas' Center. I'm taking off one star only because the mosquitoes can bite pretty hard in the field—bring more repellent!"

"The core concept is great, and excavations have their own romance. However, sector №1 under the sun at +33°C without a canopy was a brutal challenge. I hope they consider adding a sun tent next season."
