A solemn
award ceremony was held in Pavilion No. 57 to present awards to the winners and
runners-up of the All-Russian essay contest and the festival of museum
expositions of educational organizations "Without Statute of Limitations".
Sergei Kravtsov, Acting Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, took
part in the event.
"Traditionally,
on the eve of Victory Day we summarize the results of the two largest events of
the ‘Without Statute of Limitations’ project: the essay contest and the
festival of museum expositions. This year more than 500 thousand schoolchildren
submitted their essays on the topic of the genocide of the Soviet people by the
Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War. I am sure that a
worthy generation is growing up in Russia, capable of preserving the values
that the soldiers of the Red Army defended. The works of the participants help
in preserving the historical memory. Good luck to you, dear schoolchildren and
teachers," said Sergei Kravtsov.
The winners
and prize-winners of the All-Russian essay contest "Without Statute of
Limitations" were 58 schoolchildren and college students. 40 children were
recognized as winners, 14 works were awarded in special nominations.
During the
event, the acting head of the Ministry of Education of Russia presented awards
to the absolute winners of the contest. They were Ilya Lagutin from Kursk
region, Ekaterina Mulkakhainen from St. Petersburg, Anna Zaripova from Donetsk
People's Republic and Anastasia Sigacheva from the Ulyanovsk region. Sergei
Kravtsov also read to the participants of the ceremony fragments of essays by
Anna Zaripova and Danil Prysyazhny, the winner in the nomination "For
Demonstrated Knowledge of the History of the Great Patriotic War".
Olga
Kazakova, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education, noted the
importance of projects aimed at patriotic education of children and youth.
"In
kindergartens, schools, colleges and technical schools, various campaigns and
patriotic events are regularly held for children, museums are created to
preserve the memory of the Great Patriotic War. Today the most important state
task is to bring up our children to be strong and self-confident, worthy
descendants of the winners, to give them the necessary knowledge to withstand
information attacks, to preserve traditional values and the link between
generations. The children themselves are actively involved in this work — they
design expositions of school museums and tell stories about heroes," said
Olga Kazakova, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education.
42 museums
of educational institutions: schools, colleges and universities, as well as
organizations of supplementary education won prizes at the All-Russian festival
of museum expositions of educational organizations “Without Statute of
Limitations". A total of 759 museum expositions, exhibitions and virtual
museums were presented at the festival.
"During the
years that our university is a federal operator of the "Without Statute of
Limitations" project, we have learned a lot for ourselves. The project is
directed not only to the past, but also to the future, and we are updating its
content, opening new directions. But first of all, we are opening you, our dear
contestants. It is very important for any teacher to pass on not just
knowledge, but also the innermost things that are stored in them — a piece of
truth, understanding of our Motherland, our history and culture," said the
Rector of Moscow State Pedagogical University Alexei Lubkov.
