Yuri Trutnev visited the branch of the Voin center in Kalmykia
As part of a working visit to the Republic of Kalmykia, Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev visited the regional branch of the Voin center in Elista. The working meeting was attended by the head of the region Batu Khasikov, deputy chairman of the board of the Voin center, participant in the Time of Heroes program, Hero of Russia Andranik Gasparyan and director of the branch of the Voin center in Kalmykia Chimid Dzhangaev.
“The Voin Center was created by order of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and its regional branches have been opened in 21 regions. Since its operation in May 2023, more than 56 thousand children have been trained in the regional branches of the center. We try to monitor how the work is going in all territories, meet, watch the work of the instructors, because they pass on their experience, knowledge, and ability to love the Motherland to children. And we believe that this is very important. We were pleased to come to Kalmykia. I know that Kalmykia has established military traditions. There are many heroes here who serve with dignity today in the special military operation zone. I met with the instructors, they are confident people ready to work. A few days ago I was in Khabarovsk and got acquainted with the work of the branch there. Our task is to create a mechanism for transferring traditions, experience and spirit in each center. This is also very important. We came to visit on the eve of Defender of the Fatherland Day, and I am pleased to congratulate everyone who works in the center today, and in general all residents of Kalmykia on this common holiday of ours,” said Yuri Trutnev.
The guests of honor began their visit with an inspection of the Nona airborne combat vehicle, which was recently installed near the branch building. They then attended classes in classrooms and familiarized themselves with the regional branch’s material and technical base.
The guests saw how the cadets hone their skills in UAV control, tactical medicine, and undergo fire and tactical training. After that, they visited the museum of the special military operation, located in the branch building. At the end of the meeting, they discussed with the heads of the training areas the development of the regional branch of the “Voin” center.
A unique patriotic project of the Kalmyk branch on the creation of “Warrior” platoons in the region’s schools was presented. The first such platoon was opened on February 14 at school No. 10 named after V.A. Bembetov, its cadets were 20 students from grades 7-11. The platoon’s work is supervised by the senior instructor-methodologist of the “Warrior” center, veteran of the SVO Dmitry Chulchinov.
“I would like to thank Yuri Petrovich for visiting the regional branch of the Voin center, for his attention, support and communication with the team of instructors. I am pleased, as the one responsible for the development of our branch of the Voin center, with the involvement of our cadets. Not only young people come here, but also active soldiers – guys who participate in a special military operation. This means that what is taught here is in demand, relevant and effective. We will continue this work and will popularize it, because we must live with the motto: “Be prepared for everything”. And, of course, we will also improve the material and technical equipment. We have big plans in this regard,” said the head of the Republic of Kalmykia Batu Khasikov.
The branch of the Voin center in the Republic of Kalmykia opened its doors on May 11, 2023. And during its operation, it was able to become the largest military-patriotic platform in the region. The branch’s arsenal includes advanced simulators, dummies, training machines and mass-dimensional models of weapons, which allow for high-quality training of cadets.
The pride and competitive advantage of the Kalmyk branch of the Voin center are its instructors, many of whom are participants in a special military operation. Batu Khasikov took direct part in their selection.
In 2023, the branch trained 1,500 teenagers aged 14 to 18, including 900 as part of the summer military-patriotic shifts “Time of Young Heroes”.
In 2024, instructors from the Kalmyk branch have already trained 2,015 people, 450 of them during the “Time of Young Heroes” shifts. Significant work was carried out on patriotic education and popularization of military-sports training.
Since the beginning of 2025, 961 teenagers have started classes in the first educational stream at the branch; in total, it is planned to train more than 2 thousand boys and girls. In less than two months of work, a number of patriotic events have already been organized. Among them are “Lessons of Courage”, “Conversations about Important Things”, master classes on the basics of tactical medicine, the basics of UAV piloting and fire training.
The Center for Military-Sports Training and Patriotic Education of Youth “Voin” was created by order of the President of Russia and is already represented in 21 regions of Russia. The “Voin” Center implements programs for schoolchildren and students on patriotic education and military-sports training, including practical training camps and military-sports games and competitions.
In early August 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Government to involve participants in the special military operation in educational work with young people by developing branches of the Voin center in all regions of the country.
