A time capsule was laid in Crimea

The capsule contains a letter-message in which the leaders of the student government of the Republic of Crimea reflected personal instructions and dreams for future generations. The event was held as part of the republican campaign “Without a past, there is no future.”

The launch ceremony took place in the park named after Yu. A. Gagarin at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier memorial. The capsule was transported through the liberated cities of Crimea, and will soon be transferred to the Central Museum of Taurida.

About the operation

The Crimean offensive operation began on April 8, 1944, when troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front, having broken through the enemy defenses south of Sivash and on the Perekop Isthmus, rushed from the north of the peninsula towards Dzhankoy and Simferopol. The offensive ended on May 12, 1944 with the final defeat of the 200,000-strong 17th German enemy army at Cape Chersonese.
