On 2 December 2022, a research associate of the museum and educational department of Bolgar Museum-Reserve Krivosheyeva S. V. held a knowledge lecture on “Your name is unknown, your feat is immortal” for the students of the 4th grade of Bolgar sanatorium-type residential school. 11 children attended the lecture.
At the lecture, schoolchildren learned that on 3 December people in Russia celebrate the Day of Unknown Soldier – a holiday established in memory of the dead soldiers of USSR and Russia.
On 24 October 2014, the State Duma of the Russian Federation established this holiday in memory of the Soviet and Russian warriors killed in combat within or outside the country. The initiative to create the holiday belonged to the participants of movements in the search for the remains of warriors – they wanted to perpetuate the memory of the dead in that way.
The idea was put forward at the meeting with the Head of the Presidential Administration of RF Sergey Ivanov who supported the proposal. On the Day of Unknown Soldier, commemorative events, concerts and meetings take place throughout the country. Lessons of courage are held in some military schools.
During the lecture, kids saw a presentation about the work of Siberian search teams to find and perpetuate the memory of soldiers who went missing during the Great Patriotic War. Postcards of the Unknown Soldier memorial in Moscow in Alexandrovsky Garden were presented to children. The students also learned about the first opened memorials in Paris and London.
