Employees of the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery (part of Rosneft) organized literary readings dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Schoolchildren and students of city technical schools, activists of the “Movement of the First”, teachers and veteran oil workers took part in the patriotic event. The initiative took place within the framework of the international campaign “Reading to Children about the War”. Over 15 years, more than 8 million children and teenagers in Russia and abroad took part in it.
Thanks to the support of the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery, a collection of works entitled “A Feat Forever Written in History” was published especially for the readings, which included the memories of factory workers who fought at the front. Volunteers of the plant and employees of the enterprise museum collected material in family and museum archives. The unique publication is illustrated with photographs from the war, award documents and materials that have not been published before.
Young people read excerpts from the collection – excerpts from the diaries of participants in the Great Patriotic War, poems that the plant veterans dedicated to the exploits of their fellow countrymen. Schoolchildren and teachers also watched the documentary film “War of Motors”, created with the support of Rosneft and dedicated to the contribution of the domestic oil industry to bringing Victory closer. At the end of the readings, the enterprise volunteers presented the veterans with memorable gifts.
More than 200 copies of the unique collection “Feat, forever inscribed in history” were given to city schools and technical schools, city libraries. The cycle of literary readings “Reading to children about the war” based on the book published by the plant workers will continue in educational institutions of the city of Novokuibyshevsk with the participation of activists of the “Movement of the First”.

The Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery is actively developing the volunteer movement “Platform of Good Deeds”, within the framework of which employees take an active part in historical, cultural and social-humanitarian initiatives.
Earlier, volunteers and veterans of the enterprise, employees of the plant museum carried out a large-scale search to restore more than 2.5 thousand names and information about the exploits of veterans of the enterprise – participants in the Great Patriotic War. As a result of this work, the “Book of Memory” was published for the 75th anniversary of the Victory and a memorial complex was erected to perpetuate the names of the front-line soldiers. In 2023, with the support of the plant, a monument to home front workers was erected in the city.
Today, under the patronage of the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery there are 2 veterans of the Great Patriotic War and 40 home front workers.
In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the plant workers are holding a marathon of commemorative events and lessons aimed at developing spiritual and patriotic values in the younger generation.
The campaign “Reading to Children about the War” has been held by the Samara Regional Children’s Library since 2010. The initiative is aimed at creating conditions for the formation of citizenship and patriotism as the most important spiritual, moral and social values in children and adolescents using the best examples of children’s literature about the Great Patriotic War as an example.
