On June 19, on the eve of the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, a ceremonial maintenance of the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier took place in the Alexander Garden. This is not just a technical procedure, but a sacred ritual that protects the unquenchable flame of memory, a symbol of the feat of millions of heroes who died for the freedom and independence of the Motherland.
The winners of the All-Russian family creativity competition “Drawing the Eternal Flame with Children”, organized by JSC Mosgaz and the All-Russian public movement “People’s Front “For Russia”, were traditionally present at the ceremony. For the sixth time, children and their parents came to the capital from all regions of the country to see with their own eyes how Moscow specialists perform the important task of technical maintenance of a gas burner device.
“For the sixth year in a row, we have been holding the “Drawing the Eternal Flame with Children” competition, and today its winners became participants in a special, touching event – the Eternal Flame prevention ceremony in the Alexander Garden. For the People’s Front, the Eternal Flames are objects of special attention. We started with creating registers of memorials, initiated a law on the preservation of monuments. Along with the competition, with the support of the Moscow Government and Mosgaz, we deliver particles of the Eternal Flame from the Alexander Garden to the regions of Russia and even abroad. But it is this competition that gives children and families the opportunity not only to learn about the need to preserve historical memory, but also to become participants in the process,” emphasized Elena Tsunaeva, co-chair of the central headquarters of the People’s Front, State Duma deputy.
During preventive maintenance, specialists from JSC Mosgaz temporarily transfer the flame using a special torch to a spare burner, identical to the main one in technical characteristics. After the necessary routine maintenance – replacing the igniters and checking all systems – the sacred fire is returned to its place. At each stage of the procedure, the movements of the craftsmen are honed to perfection. Maintenance of the Eternal Flame device is a highly complex job, so only the best specialists with the highest professional qualifications are involved in it.
“The competition, conceived for the 75th anniversary of the Victory, began as an initiative for Moscow families, and today it covers all of Russia, including new regions. Over the years, more than 160 thousand families have taken part in it. This is no longer just a competition, but a real platform for patriotic education. It is especially important that the children who came to the capital learned how the complex system that maintains the flame in any weather works. We, together with the People’s Front, are proud that this project helps to educate the younger generation in the spirit of respect, knowledge and love for the Fatherland. Thank you to all the parents, teachers and children. You are doing a great job!” added Gasan Gasangadzhiev, General Director of Mosgaz JSC.
The ceremony was held to the sounds of a military orchestra. The national flag of the Russian Federation was carried out by the color platoon of the 154th separate commandant Preobrazhensky regiment. The presence of the ceremony’s host, Anna Shatilova, People’s Artist of the RSFSR, beloved by many generations of Russians, gave the moment a special grandeur.
According to her, the maintenance of the Eternal Flame is not just a technical procedure, but a solemn event. Since 1967, the flame in the heart of the country has not been extinguished by either a hurricane or time. The announcer noted that she admires the Mosgaz team, emphasizing that together they preserve what should never be forgotten.
