Participants of the ceremonial event
On the balustrade of the main building of the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, a solemn event was held dedicated to the celebration of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War.
The participants of the event were veterans, teachers, university staff, and students. The festive atmosphere of the event was enhanced by a theatrical performance prepared by members of the Center for Student Leisure and Creativity (CSDiT) “Kirpich”. The young people showed and told a touching story based on front-line letters – it was a dialogue filled with hope, warmth, and the pain of separation. Through artistic images, the actors reminded everyone how, during the war years, simple words “Everything is fine with us” became a symbol of support and faith in life.
