Representatives of the Government of the Republic, employees of the Company and schoolchildren of the “Movement of the First” took part in the ceremonial event. The patriotic initiative is aimed at preserving the historical memory of the contribution of Bashkir oil workers who fought at the front and home front workers to achieving Victory.
The photo exhibition and memorial alley are located in the park near the memorial complex “Ufa – the city of labor valor” on the bank of the Belaya River. The exhibition tells about the milestones in the development of the republic’s oil industry and the labor feat of Bashkir oil workers during the war years. The historical shots depict working teams of the Ufa cracking plant and the Ishimbay oil refinery, and oil workers at the fields.
During the Great Patriotic War, Bashkortostan became one of the significant centers of the country’s fuel and energy complex. The republic produced more than 5 million tons of oil, processed 6.5 million tons of oil, and produced 2.5 million tons of oil products. New fields and deposits were discovered in the republic, and the capacity of oil refineries was significantly increased. Bashkiria became the key center of the Volga-Ural oil province, which was called “Second Baku”.
The photo chronicle tells about the people who forged the common Victory. Including the heroism of women in the rear, who worked in harsh conditions in several shifts for 12 hours at the fields and factories. Bashkir oil workers were repeatedly awarded the Challenge Red Banner of the State Defense Committee (GKO). In 1946, the Red Banners of the GKO as a symbol of labor glory were transferred for eternal storage to Field No. 1 of the Tuymazaneft Trust and the Ufa Oil Refinery.
Rosneft and its subsidiaries actively participate in patriotic events that help strengthen historical memory, foster civic responsibility and preserve cultural heritage.
