The Movement of the First and the RUSSIA EXPO Directorate will hold a ceremonial line-up dedicated to the Great Victory Day celebration
On May 9, the RUSSIA EXPO at VDNH will host a ceremonial
line-up organized by the Movement of the First and the RUSSIA EXPO Directorate.
As part of the event, which will be held at the Stone Flower fountain, the
First will tell about their ancestors - participants of the Great Patriotic
War. The participants of the Movement will recount the feats that their family
members performed in the name of the Great Victory: those who fought hard
battles on the front line, carried wounded soldiers from under shelling, worked
at open-hearth furnaces and helped the country in the rear.
The significant event will be joined by parents and mentors
of the Movement participants, veterans of the Great Patriotic War and home front
workers, heroes of the special military operation, activists of youth patriotic
organizations, as well as a combined orchestra of more than 600 musicians. The
participants of the event will remember their Heroes and once again feel that
their family chronicles are an integral part of the common history. A history
that was valiantly and courageously created by our ancestors. After the solemn
line-up there will be a commemorative parade, which all guests of the RUSSIA
EXPO will be able to join, and the procession will end with a festive concert
on the main stage of VDNH.
The Movement of the First will also organize a number of
other events to mark the 79th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic
War. For example, with the support of the YUNARMYA (lit. YOUTH ARMY) the
Movement of the First will show military-patriotic performances in 8 cities of
our country. The theatrical performances will narrate the stories of war heroes
who committed brave deeds in their youth. And within the framework of the
campaign "Victory Windows" the First together with their mentors and parents
decorate the windows of their apartments, houses, educational institutions and
primary branches of the Movement with drawings, stencils, photos dedicated to
Victory Day. In addition, schoolchildren and students across Russia will take
part in ceremonial line-ups, where they will proudly hold portraits of their
heroic relatives, visit museums, hold patriotic lessons of courage, sing songs
of the war years and much more.
By holding such events, the Movement helps the younger
generation realize the value of historical memory in shaping modern society.
The First all over Russia keep and multiply the achievements of their ancestors
and are looking up to their feats and values.
