At the National Centre RUSSIA, within the "Time of the First" exposition, a unique hall has opened, dedicated to the outstanding heroes of our country. Visitors can learn about Russians who have made the country proud with their achievements in various fields: from military feats to scientific discoveries, from sports records to heroic deeds during peaceful times.

"On the Heroes of the Fatherland Day, the Movement of the First launched a special thematic display at the 'Time of the First' exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA. It is dedicated to those whose feats the whole country is proud of. The hall of the heroes of our Motherland showcases the stories and names of those who have committed heroic acts both in the past and in modern times, during the Special Military Operation. The exposition also includes the stories of young participants of the Movement of the First who demonstrated courage and bravery. I am convinced that this exposition will not only serve as a valuable source of historical knowledge but also as an inspiration for the future heroes of our country," said Hero of Russia, Chairman of the Board of the Movement of the First, Artur Orlov.

The exposition consists of multimedia and audio materials: the information is presented in an accessible and engaging way. The heroes of the exposition are our great compatriots: Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, Hero of the Soviet Union — cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, outstanding Soviet and Russian firearms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov, doctors Yelizaveta Glinka and Leonid Roshal, Russian violist and conductor Yuri Bashmet, five-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Larisa Lazutina, as well as the first serviceman to be awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation for his feat during the Special Military Operation, Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov.

A special place in the exposition is dedicated to child heroes — participants of the Movement of the First. These brave teenagers showed courage and valor, performing heroic deeds: Gleb Novikov from Volgograd saved his grandmother, who was disabled, from a fire; Zhargal Batuev from the Republic of Buryatia pulled a drowning boy out of the water; Anton Bakhtiguzin from the Amur region saved his younger brothers from a burning house; Anton Borsukov from the Bryansk region provided first aid to a classmate who was choking; Polina Kosmyleva from the Tyumen region saved a driver having a heart attack; and Zhenya Zuev from Belgorod shielded his 9-month-old sister during a shelling.

The thematic exposition will continue until December 15. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the feats of those who wrote their names in the history of the country and inspired new generations to perform good deeds and achieve great things.

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.

The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
