The international project ‘80 Years of Our Great Victory’ is a telegram channel, which publishes news reports from the front of the Great Patriotic War. Starting from 19 February, 80 days before Victory Day, news of those days, letters of the participants of the Great Patriotic War and other historical documents preserved in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus will be published.
‘Each of us is responsible for preserving the memory of the feat of Soviet soldiers and passing it on to future generations. Thanks to our project, every resident of modern Russia and Belarus in the format of reports from the front can receive information about how the Soviet Union went to Victory. Today's Telegram channels are a convenient format for receiving up-to-date information. The residents of the Soviet Union received news from the front from newspapers and radio, it could not always be prompt,’ said Chairman of the Youth Parliament at the State Duma Artem Nikolaev.
The main goal of the project is to create a tool that can show how the participants of the Great Patriotic War lived those days on the front and in the rear. In a unified information field, the readers of the project will learn about how the Soviet Union went to victory.
‘Young people increasingly prefer short, rich formats of information presentation, and messengers are becoming the main means of communication for them nowadays. Therefore, I believe that the study of history through such a means of communication of young parliamentarians in terms of preserving historical memory will be an effective platform for the realisation of our common goal and will help to bring the history of our ancestors to every young person,’ said Alina Retikova, Chairperson of the Youth Council (Parliament) at the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus.
Residents of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are invited to participate in the project. Earlier, the Youth Parliament at the State Duma and the Youth Council (Parliament) at the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus signed a memorandum of co-operation.
