The RUSSIA EXPO presented children's books selected in the "Childhood Heroes. Our Time" contest. The contest was held from September 20 to November 20, 2023, 500 applications were sent.

"The idea of the contest arose as a reaction to the fact that in modern bookstores it is quite difficult to find children's literature about the heroes of our time. The members of the organizing committee of the contest, being parents themselves, understand this problem. For the sake of the future of our country, we are obliged to raise a generation of patriots who will strengthen our country and ensure its further success, said the poet, a participant of the cultural art project "Male Voice" Ivan Kupreyanov.

The list of finalists was formed by the expert council, which included: editor-in-chief of the "Literaturnaya Gazeta" Maxim Zamshev, president of the Russian Union of Writers Dmitry Kravchuk, poet, artistic director of the Moscow Theater of Poets Vlad Malenko and film director, public figure Alexandra Frank.

In the nomination "Literary work for children of 7-9 years old" the winner was Natalia Neporada with the poem "To the Heroes of Invisible Labour", the story "Slides of Gostomel" by Timur Garayev was recognized as the best work for children of 10-12 years old, in the nomination "Literary work for children of 13-16 years old" the winner was Elena Smolitskaya with the poem "In a Crooked Trench".

Poets and musicians of the cultural art project "Male Voice" and the Moscow Theater of Poets under the direction of Vlad Malenko also performed for the guests of the event: Alexei Shmelev, Vitaly Venikeev, Alexander Antipov, Roman Sorokin, Arina Chekanova and Anton Anosov.

The contest of children's writers "Childhood Heroes. Our Time" is realized by the ANO "Creative Vector" with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.
