At the Public Support Headquarters, the governor presented the veterans with badges of honor dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the fascist blockade. The awards were issued for this significant date by the Government of St. Petersburg.
Many events are taking place throughout the country to mark the Day of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the fascist blockade. There are especially many of them, of course, in St. Petersburg — our President is there today, and our Sevastopol blockade survivors are also in the northern capital today. And we are here in Sevastopol, and today it is with great pleasure that I present you with commemorative medals. The memory of the blockade is very dear to all of us. And today it is very important that even the youngest residents of Sevastopol know everything about this terrible period, about what our country suffered — and understand that this can never be allowed to happen again. Therefore, thank you for passing on this memory, this story to younger generations.,” the press service of the Government of Sevastopol quotes Mikhail Razvozhaev.
