Russian student teams are cleaning monuments to the Great Patriotic War on the eve of Victory Day

CrimeaPRESS reports:

On the eve of the most important national holiday — Victory Day, which is celebrated annually on May 9, student teams of Crimea took part in the “Heirs of Victory” event. As part of this initiative, a cleanup was organized at the site of a memorial sign dedicated to the execution of Soviet citizens by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War.

The action brought together students from various educational institutions who invested their time and energy to honor the memory of the heroes of the past. The participants of the action removed all the garbage, pulled out the overgrown grass and carefully tidied up the area around the monument. Such events help not only to maintain cleanliness and order in historically significant places, but also to instill in young people respect for the history of their country.

Yana Mayboroda, commander of the line student detachment of the Crimean regional branch of the Russian student detachments, shared:

We feel involved in the great deeds of our ancestors, and it is important to preserve this memory not only in books, but also in real actions. The cleanup at the memorial sign in Simferopol is not just cleaning up the area, it is our way of expressing respect and gratitude to those who defended our freedom. It is important that young people today are not left behind, and we see real interest and desire to participate in such events. This helps us not only feel part of a big country, but also unites our student community and gives us the understanding that together we can do real, meaningful things for society.
