In the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland and on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the Polytechnic will publish a student video blog, “The Memory of Glory Lives.”
Today it is difficult to imagine that the Main Building of the Polytechnic University once housed a military hospital, the windows of the Chemical Building were crosswise sealed with paper tape, and in place of a cozy park alley there was a gaping two-meter shell crater. Hurrying about our business, we pass by monuments, memorial plaques and rarely think about what they symbolize, what they can tell us.
Our university has many places associated with the Great Patriotic War. What events took place here in those distant years? The video blog “Memory of Glory is Alive” and its host, IMMiT SPbPU student Yegor Bredikhin, answer these questions.
In the vlog episodes, he will talk about the university’s memorable locations and the unforgettable stories they have kept for decades.
“This project has become another page in the educational work of the university, which includes our own initiatives, such as “Stories of Polytechnic Families”, and participation in all-Russian events, such as “Scientific Regiment”, – said the head of the Public Relations Department Marianna Dyakova. – In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, we decided to make a video project together with students about the places inside the Polytechnic associated with the Great Patriotic War. Students, especially those who are just starting to study, know almost nothing about them. And if they hear from other students the history of the monument, the memorial plaque, it will be perceived with trust and understanding, and will cause reciprocal emotions. We don’t want the project to be didactic, we want to touch the souls and hearts of the Polytechnicians, so that every student who watches the video, passing by such a significant place, stops for a second, thinks about the Great Patriotic War, about the cost of how many lives the victory was achieved.”
The premiere of the first issue dedicated to the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians has already taken place. The most famous monument on the Polytechnic campus was opened on September 23, 1967. It was built with funds from teachers, employees, students and graduates of the M. I. Kalinin LPI. Two military helmets lying on the pedestal were found at the battle sites.
