On Cosmonautics Day, activists of the First Movement received

A solemn ceremony of presenting passports to activists of the First Movement took place at Sevastopol school No. 54. The school was not chosen by chance — it bears the name of the hero of the Soviet Union, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Participants of the action “We are citizens of Russia!” There were 32 schoolchildren — these are guys who distinguished themselves in studies, sports, science and social activities in the primary departments of schools and colleges of the Hero City.

Congratulations on your great day. Space Day, which was discovered by Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. Your school also bears his name. The whole world now remembers the day of the first flight. Everyone knows that the first cosmonaut is a citizen of our country. Receiving a passport today is a big holiday and a significant day in life for each of you— the press service of the Government of Sevastopol quotes retired colonel, chief engineer of the Black Sea Fleet Air Force for aviation equipment, Yuri Lyakh.

The movement creates an environment that promotes children’s deep understanding of their connection with their homeland. Participants in the First Movement are aware of their involvement in the creation of a strong and independent country and are ready to devote themselves to the development of society. For example, the program “We are citizens of Russia!” turns the procedure of obtaining your first passport into something more — a real holiday symbolizing growing up. Such events become for children a symbol of spiritual and moral values, which every citizen of our country is called upon to protect.

Remember that being First is not just an honorary title. Every activist is the first in the cause for which he takes responsibility, which he joins, which he loves and which he is passionate about. From today onwards in your life — be the First! – says the chairman of the Council of the regional branch of the “First Movement” of Sevastopol, Anna Molchanova.

The First Movement program “We are citizens of Russia!”, implemented with the active and comprehensive support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, launched in 2023 on Cosmonautics Day. One of the goals of the campaign is to make the day of receiving the first passport a special event in the life of every teenager.
