Volunteer from Yalta Vita Menyaeva will accompany the Naval Parade in St. Petersburg

For Vita, this day is a family holiday. Her father is a captain of the 2nd rank, a military diving specialist, her uncles are graduates of the current Black Sea Higher Naval School named after P.S. Nakhimov. And her older brother is currently studying there to become a submariner. The young Yalta resident is proud of her military dynasty, where they remember and honor the memory of her great-great-grandfather, Sergei Vasilyevich Strizhak, who died during the Great Patriotic War…

The head of the Yalta administration, Yanina Pavlenko, congratulated Vita Menyaeva on her victory in the competition.

I wish to worthily represent the peninsula and our Yalta at such a significant event!— she said.
