Student Squads is the largest labor movement of Russian youth! In this
anniversary year the number of the movement will reach 400 thousand people,

but us today should become the organizers of the main labor holiday of Russia?
I would like to note that large-scale events are taking place all over the
country, and representatives of the Russian Student Squads are taking the most
active part in them. At the RUSSIA EXPO, we have united the history of labor
victories of our country in the 20th and 21st century, the largest employers of
our country, who are now partners of the Russian Student Squads,
representatives of the authorities and simply everyone who wants to participate,"

Youth Policy, Chairman of the Board of the Russian Student Squads.
With the
help of costumed and theatricalized columns, the participants of the event will
present the professions and results of humanity's work in the XX and XXI
century, as well as the history of the 65 years of the student squads movement.
The procession will consist of nine thematic columns, the participants of which
will be veterans of student squads, students, government authorities,
representatives of employers and large Russian companies, partners and
employers of the RSS, participants of the student squad movement from different
regions of Russia. The parade will also be attended by astronauts, artists,
athletes, participants of youth movements and young families, student squad
dynasties and families passing on labor experience from generation to generation.
The
procession will end with a festive concert featuring artists and activists of
student groups. Representatives of the country's leadership will address the
march with greetings.
