The IV Maslin-Fest will take place on July 8, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM as part of the XXIV International School on Global Security.

We will traditionally dedicate our meeting on July 8 to the memory of Colonel General Evgeny Maslin (1937–2022). We will mark this day with heartfelt conversations, sharing memories of our shared professional, academic, and creative achievements, and paying tribute to senior comrades, colleagues, and mentors who, though no longer with us, left behind their knowledge, experience, and a vast professional legacy. Each year, we discover new facets of our colleagues and members of the PIR Alumni Community, as the program traditionally includes creative performances by participants, such as original poems, songs, and live music. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that a dedicated Maslin-Fest section has been launched on the PIR Center website, where the most memorable performances from the event will be published. Any creative initiative from your side is highly welcome. Additionally, a charity auction will be held during the Maslin Fest to support PIR Center’s educational projects. As a reminder, the Evgeny Maslin Memorial Gallery is also available on the PIR Center website.
