The raffle for a trip along the "Routes of Victory" has concluded
The National Centre RUSSIA and the Movement of the First summed up the results of the raffle for a trip within the educational and excursion project "Routes of Victory." The winner was Katerina from Saratov. She will go on a two-day journey dedicated to the heroic past of our country.
About 300 people participated in the raffle, leaving stories about the heroes of their families in comments to the corresponding post on the social network VKontakte. The winner was determined by a randomiser. Katerina told about her grandfather, Alexander Vasilyevich Tretyakov, a signalman who took part in the defence of Leningrad.
The project "Routes of Victory" was developed by the National Centre RUSSIA together with the National Exhibition Centre BelExpo and is timed to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Its goal is to preserve the memory of the Soviet people’s feat, unite generations, and inspire the study of shared history. Participants in the trips will be able to visit significant memorial sites in Moscow and the Moscow Region related to wartime events, learn more about the fates of heroes and key episodes of the war, as well as view the past through the prism of culture, architecture, and art.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
