CrimeaPRESS reports:
The educational and play program “Russian Compound” was launched in the park of children’s camps “Gorny” of the Artek International Children’s Center. There are about 60 locations here, which became a bright part of the holiday. The leitmotif of the holiday is getting to know the culture, history and traditions of multinational Russia, demonstrating the achievements of the Russian people, developing pride in their small homeland and the country as a whole.
Fostering civic and patriotic qualities in the younger generation is one of our most pressing tasks. Children need to know the history of their country, their small homeland, protect and increase its spiritual potential, strive to preserve the glorious pages of history for future generations. All opportunities and conditions have been created for Artek students to expand their knowledge in various fields, including the history of their native land and Russia as a whole.– notes the director of the Artek MDC Konstantin Fedorenko.
The festivities began with watching the concert program. Children’s art groups participating in the Artek Commonwealth festival demonstrated their creativity.
Our exemplary choreographic pop dance group “Antares” today performed the dance “Forward, Russia!” On this significant day for all of us, we charged all Artek residents with a good mood with our dancing. Russia is my Motherland and I am proud of it– shared Arina Beznosova, Omsk.
Then all the squads were divided into groups, received a map of the “Russian Compound” with a designation and a list of locations, and set off on a journey. The team’s task is to go through as many active points as possible, collect the maximum number of tokens and become the winner of the game program.
At the “Masterovaya Sloboda” site, Artek residents visited the locations “Art object “Artek”-99”, “Forge”, “Folk Crafts of Russia”, “Khokhloma. Coloring of art objects “Matryoshkas”, “Pottery workshop”, “Monuments — symbols of Russia”.
At the location “Under the Wing of the Firebird,” Artek residents were able to get acquainted with Russian folk crafts and their distinctive features.
I came to Artek as part of the “Under the Wing of the Firebird” program. At the station we tell Artek residents about the history of Gzhel, Golden Khokhloma and the Dymkovo toy. Afterwards the guys go to decorate the matryoshka doll— said Yulia Kabanova, Semenov, Nizhny Novgorod region.
A special place in the festive game program was occupied by the recreation of the most significant historical eras in the form of military-historical reconstruction. The reenactors actively interacted with the participants of the game program: they conducted master classes, talked about military affairs, historical events, traditions and outstanding personalities of the presented era. The guys got acquainted with such topics as the Crimean War, the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War, and the partisan movement. Here the children saw models of small arms from different eras, were able to shoot with a bow, and take part in heroic battles.
Veterans of Artek became important guests of the holiday. Many of them came to the holiday with their grandchildren.
My grandson Ilya and I came to celebrate Russia Day. About 30 Artek veterans came with us. Everyone expressed a great desire to take part in the celebration. My grandson and I watched the bullets being poured out at the exhibition. The artilleryman also showed us how to fire a cannon. The grandson is delighted, and I am with him,” said Vera Bondareva, chairman of the veteran organization “Artek”.
One of the interesting sites is the “Modern Army” location, where the guys were able to communicate with the heroes of our time — representatives of the Wagner PMC.
On Russia Day, my colleagues and I came to Artek to show the guys the modern weapons of the Russian army. Artek residents are actively interested in the goals of the North Military District; excellent patriotic education is immediately evident. In the modern world, it is necessary to tell children about our experience and knowledge.said a serviceman with the call sign “Hili”.
It’s great that we had the opportunity to visit the “Russian Compound” on such a holiday. We watched a wonderful festive concert, where dance groups from different cities of Russia performed. I managed to visit the “Mordovia” site, they taught us how to play “Chicken and the Master”. I also visited the “Modern Army” site, where I tried on equipment and listened to the stories of our military,” noted Alexander Shchetinkin from the Moscow region.
The platform for traditional fun and entertainment of the indigenous peoples of Russia invited Artek residents to take part in dances, round dances, and singing songs. Each of the children’s camps dedicated a site to the indigenous people: “Bashkirs”, “Mordovians”, “Yakuts”, “Chechsenians”, “Ossetians”, “Kalmykia” and “Bashkirs”. Pupils of the children’s center got acquainted with various national games, including “Lapta”, “Towns”, “Rubber Band”, “Hopscotch”, “Bouncer”, “Blind Man’s Bluff”, “The Sea is Worried Once”, “Hot Potato” and many others.
We gathered at Russkaya Polyana to celebrate Russia Day! Each venue has an incredibly friendly and festive atmosphere. I liked the Yakutia site, they told us interesting facts about the Yakuts, and also showed them national games– shared Valeria Viktorova from the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Artek residents were also able to take part in the creation of the “Russia” art object and take souvenir photos in special photo zones.
Russia Day at Artek will end with an incendiary crowd show. More than 3,000 boys and girls from all over the country will perform dances of the peoples of Russia and traditional Artek dances.
