Regional branch of the All-Russian social movement Victory volunteers. Our volunteers. Improvement of memorial sites

Fireworks dedicated to the Victory Day have died down across the country. In the middle of the thousands-strong procession of the "Immortal Regiment", at the memorial during the laying of flowers, next to the veterans, you could not help but see young people in blue and white uniforms. These are the Victory volunteers.

Under the sign of the white dove - the symbol of peace - the All-Russian Volunteer Movement has been conducting its activities for two years, aimed at preserving the history of the Great Patriotic War. Today there are regional branches of the movement in all regions Russian Federation.

“Victory volunteers are, first of all, a personal story of everyone, whose memory of the contribution of his family and friends to the cause of the Great Victory is more than just a memory,” say the leaders of the movement in the Ivanovo region.

“It may seem to some that our activity is only assistance in organizing the events of May 9 and preparing for them. But in fact, we do a great job throughout the year, ”says Anton Korotkov, head of the regional department of the volunteer corps.

The main goal of the movement is to preserve the history of the war and the names of its heroes. For this, volunteers conduct youth historical quests - interactive and educational games. This year, for the first time, "Victory Volunteers" organized intellectual game"RISK" (Reason, intuition, speed, command).

Other tasks include helping veterans. “Veterans are with us every day,” the movement participants argue, “therefore, one of our most important tasks is to provide them with support and assistance.” In addition, Victory volunteers participate in the improvement of memorial sites and military graves, as well as in the campaigns "Letter of Victory", "Victory Tree" and "St. George's Ribbon".

Of course, Victory Day is a special holiday for volunteers. Assistance in holding events for each of them is an opportunity to contribute to the preservation of the memory of the great feats of both their ancestors and the entire Russian people. This year, activists of the movement took part in the Victory Parade in the city of Ivanovo and the Immortal Regiment march as volunteers.

“A part of our team celebrated Victory Day in Moscow, on the main square of the country. “The Victory volunteers were to assist in organizing the Victory Parade, as well as become volunteers on the route of the Immortal Regiment,” said Anton Korotkov.

Two volunteers from Ivanovo based on the results competitive selection became "Victory Ambassadors" in Sevastopol, where for seven days they participated in the preparation of the parade and events on Sapun Mountain.

One of them, Vladimir Smirnov, told why he took part in the movement and became the “Victory Ambassador”: “The Great Victory is not just a holiday, but something more. In my family, medals and orders of grandparents are treasured with trepidation. I remember how on May 9 my grandfather put on his ceremonial suit with many military awards and took me to the parade, where he secretly cried. Then I did not understand why he met this holiday with tears. Growing up and realizing a lot, I understood everything. And now it was my turn to remember my relatives with tears in my eyes. Today I am sincerely grateful to them for saving the world from fascism. That's why it was important for me to become the Victory Ambassador, that's why I am a Victory volunteer. "

The results of the Victory Volunteers' activities, their stories and reasoning indicate only one thing - each of them is completely passionate about what he is doing.

“In any business, the most important thing is the people with whom we work and implement projects. There are a lot of caring people in the "Victory Volunteers" movement who help veterans free of charge, with enthusiasm, improve memorial sites, and hold all-Russian actions. My task as a leader is to help them in this and provide them with everything they need, ”says Anton Korotkov.

The activists of the movement have many more projects in their plans, which they will talk about on the official website: volunteerspobedy.rf.
