Memorials dedicated to the events and heroes of the Great Patriotic War keep alive the memory of them, capture the feat of the victorious people, and serve as a moral guideline for future generations, reminding them of the value of peace and freedom. On the eve of the 81st Victory anniversary, places in the region are being landscaped, including in Donbass and Novorossiya. For example, this year, the state company “Avtodor” brought 26 monuments and military burial sites into order along the repaired highways. This was reported by the Deputy Chairman of the Government Marat Khusnullin.
“As in the years of war, so now, during the special military operation in Donbass and Novorossiya, roads are key and strategic objects, and road workers are among the first to go to work sites. Therefore, specialists take responsibility not only for repairing the road surface but also for the improvement of memorial sites. This year, Avtodor, together with representatives of local administrations, has restored 9 memorials in the Donetsk People’s Republic, 3 in the Luhansk People’s Republic, and 14 in the Zaporizhzhia region,” said Marat Khusnullin.
On the Day of Remembrance, the territories around memorials, monuments, and mass graves along the roads of Nikolaevka – Starognatovka, Shastnoye – Stepano-Krynka, Khlebodarovka – Golubitskoye, P-150 – Krasnovka, Volnovakha – Kirillovka, Korsun – Yenakiyevo, Olyovatka – Nikishino, Uglegorsk – Kondratyevka, Kirovskoye – Orlovo-Ivanovka – Rassypnoye were put in order.
Work was carried out along the Georgievka – Rovenki, Antratsit – Dolzhansky – Dyakovo, and Georgievka – Rovenki – Sverdlovsk routes in the LNR.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, territories near the routes Chernihivka – Novopoltavka – Semenivka – Basan, Tokmak – Kirovo – Zarechne, from the village of Menchykury to Dneprovka, from Grushevka to Udarnik have been landscaped.
“Improvement of memorial sites is a confirmation of endless gratitude and reverence for the feat of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War. We honor the bravery, courage, and valor of those who fought for peaceful skies. This work allows us to preserve the memory of the heroism of the defenders of the Fatherland. In the course of the work to improve memorial sites in the reunified region, we united with local administrations. We carried out cleaning of the territories, clearing away debris and branches and overgrowth, mowing grass, whitewashing curbstones, cleaning the space between the slabs from vegetation, painting fences and monuments.””At some locations, they arranged pull-in pockets,” noted Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state company “Avtodor”.
