The Russian Federation has multiple valuable historical and cultural monuments. Many of these objects are truly unique and belong to the world’s cultural treasures. Nearly half of them are objects of federal significance (including more than 20,000 archaeological heritage sites), and the rest are of regional significance, 13 cultural and 8 natural heritage sites are on the list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage formed under the auspices of UNESCO. Observations on the state of objects of historical and cultural heritage in the Russian regions show that such objects are largely susceptible to destruction as a result of adverse natural influences. These impacts adversely affect the preservation of cultural heritage sites, and lead to their destruction and their possible loss. Therefore, it is important to protect the objects of historical and cultural heritage.
