Future specialists of the tourism industry with the help of a photo exhibition preserved the memory of a great feat

, timed to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The solemn opening of the photovernissage took place in the hall of VVSU. Students and employees of the International Institute of Environment and Tourism and the College of Tourism and Hospitality Industry of VVSU took part in the project. The inset contains the author's photographs of the military-historical objects of Vladivostok dedicated to the events and heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

"This exhibition is special. Its creation was made possible thanks to our students, their teamwork and sincere involvement. In the current era of trials, it is important for us, like our grandfathers and great-grandparents, to remain faithful to the ideals of peaceful life. Today’s generation confirms by its actions that the memory of the great-grandfathers’ heroism is alive. They write new pages of history, giving us the opportunity to work and learn under a peaceful sky. The decisions taken by the leaders of our country are aimed at protecting the historical truth, and therefore - for our future, - said during the opening of the insert the rector of VVSU, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor Tatiana Terentyeva

The rector of the university noted that this is not just a set of photos, but a kind of historical bridge between the past, present and future. This is how the relationship between generations is maintained. And now, passing by the monument, everyone will be able to learn the history of the feat.

The exhibition was only the first stage of the project. In the near future, students plan to transfer the experience to their small homeland, creating similar routes in different parts of the Primorsky Territory.

This is our contribution to ensuring that the thread of memory is not broken, – Tatyana Terentyeva added. – Protecting history means not only storing archives, but also passing on their meaning to new generations. We open exhibitions very often, but this one is unique: it provides tools for dialogue with history. Let everyone who sees these photos feel: while we "know, remember, protect", the heroes live in our affairs.

The Rector expressed gratitude to the students, teachers of the International Institute of Environment and Tourism and the College of Tourism and Hospitality Industry of VVSU, emphasizing their inspiring example of civic responsibility.

The Rector thanked the project team, which included photographers Dariakolak A.
