Press conference of the "Voice of Heroes" Award to be held at the National Centre RUSSIA

A press event will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA on 30 October at 11:00. It will mark the launch of public voting for the 4th All-Russian People’s Award "Voice of Heroes". The Award is organised by ANO "Podvigi" ("Heroic Deeds") with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. The project aims to honour people for courageous and kind deeds, civic engagement and commitment to traditional values. In 2025, "Voice of Heroes" will once again bring together remarkable individuals from across the country. 

"In 2025, the ‘Voice of Heroes’ Award received federal status, and we are proud to launch the public voting precisely at the National Centre RUSSIA. For us, this is a symbolic event that highlights the nationwide scale and significance of our heroes," said Denis Shapkaryn, founder of the "Podvigi" project.

This year, awards will be presented in 31 categories covering all key areas of life — from "Heroes of Science", "Heroes of Production" and "Heroes of Medicine" to "Heroes of Blogging", "Heroes of Family" and "Heroes of Preserving Historical Memory". Nominees include both ordinary citizens distinguished by bravery and selflessness, and well-known public figures.

After the application stage concludes, the main phase — public voting — will begin, allowing every Russian citizen to vote for their chosen nominee. The final selection of winners will be made by experts, and the official award ceremony will take place on 6 December in Saransk, broadcast live on HTM TV channel, VKontakte, and Odnoklassniki.

The Award is implemented by the autonomous non-profit organisation for civic and patriotic youth development "Podvigi" with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.
