Patriotic session at TTF-2025: from the fate of steam locomotives to the project “Victory Kitchen”

Opening the session, Chairman of the Primorsky branch of the RGS-JIAC Alexey Buyakov noted that the society is actively working in the patriotic direction. This course is followed by established youth clubs, patriotic education - at the heart of the work of the session speakers, who are mostly members of the RGS. Another important point is the memory of the dead, the society won a presidential grant to preserve the memory of the fallen soldiers in China. The result of the work will be the creation of a public website: “Russian burials in China”, which will contain all the information available today about Russians who found their last refuge in the Chinese land

Konstantin Posokhov, member of the SVO, commander of the department, senior operator of the combat management of the Guards group, chief sergeant in his speech emphasized that today it is necessary to actively build a dialogue with the younger generation, talk about the exploits of people both during the Great Patriotic War and during the special operation. Each generation has its own heroes, so should the present generation. And preferably not fictional, but real, who defend the future of our country, thanks to the courage of which today's schoolchildren and students have the opportunity to learn, develop and grow professionally.

Patriotic education is not just slogans, meetings, as some people think. These are also amazing stories from the lives of grandfathers and fathers, in which heroism and romance are combined. This is exactly what the following speakers showed. Well, they did. The basis of the speech member of the Primorsky branch of the RGS-JIAC Lyudmila Volkova - the work of the railway during the war, the "fate" of steam locomotives, the popularity of retrotrains, the route of the Victory Train. Dean of the Law Faculty of the Vladivostok branch of the Russian Customs Academy, Ph.D. Elena Gryaznova told about steamships, fiery flights and Anna Shchetinina. Another interesting page in the history of Primorye is the fate of the young, as told member of the regional branch of the RGS-JIAC Vladislav Kupchik.

The head of the section of local studies and excursion studies of the Primorsky branch of the RGS-JIAC Daria Guseva, who spoke at the session , focused on information noise, distortion of information, attention and loss of interest. Here the principle works, when too much and too much, it is no longer good. And because of this overabundance in working with the younger generation, it is necessary to use new conceptual approaches in communicating information, especially patriotic. There are thematic excursions, lectures, quests. But there is another option, which consists of studying and presenting various areas and areas. The participants of the session were introduced to the project “Victory Kitchen”, which combined local gastronomy, regional products, and more often it was sea and taiga gifts, a historical line. The basis of the project is how the Primorsky Territory lived, ate and helped the Western Front during the years of hostilities. And this project has a high prospect of scaling, involving representatives of HoReCa, travel companies, cultural institutions, etc

Turim Minister of Primorsky Krai Natalia Naboichenko, who spoke at the session, stressed that the topic of patriotism should be present in our lives without various reminders. It is important that everyone has an understanding: ideology is faith in the country, the memory of generations. And if now, in fact, many excursions of a patriotic orientation concern Vladivostok, then it is time to push the boundaries and "go" to the region - the region has something to show, and what to say about its heroes.

And here it is worth quoting the words from the Requiem of the famous Soviet poet Robert Rozhdestvensky: "It is not necessary for the dead, it is necessary for the living."
