Employees of the Samara group of enterprises of NK Rosneft organized a large-scale project dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The action united more than 500 participants – veterans and employees of Rosneft enterprises, students, volunteers and residents of the Samara region.
The patriotic initiative began with a flash mob in Novokuibyshevsk. Next to the memorial complex to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, volunteers unfurled an 80-meter St. George ribbon – a symbol of valor, fortitude and pride in the Great Victory. Participants honored the memory of the fallen heroes with a minute of silence and laid flowers at the Eternal Flame.
A bright continuation of the event was the motor rally – 30 cars and motorcycles with the Victory Banners, went to the city of Samara. During the Great Patriotic War, Kuibyshev (now Samara) became the “reserve capital” of the country and the largest industrial center. The route of the rally included significant historical places, including the Kuibyshevsky district of Samara, which appeared on the city map in 1943 thanks to the construction of the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery.
The grand opening of the open-air historical photo exhibition took place on the Volga River embankment. The exhibition “Samara Oil – for Victory” reflects the main stages of the formation and development of the oil industry in the region during the war years. Having received the order from the Motherland to accelerate the development of the oil industry for the uninterrupted supply of fuel to the front, Samara oil workers of Kuibyshevneft (now Samaraneftegaz) were the first in the USSR to find Devonian oil and increase production fivefold. They also built two oil refineries, the Syzran and Kuibyshev Oil Refineries, in record time.
The culmination of the event was the screening of the film “War of Motors”, created on the initiative of NK “Rosneft” and dedicated to the selfless work of Soviet oil workers during the Great Patriotic War. Home front workers demonstrated courage, fortitude and heroism, providing the front with fuel – forged Victory in the rear.
The event ended with a festive concert, which featured the beloved songs of the war years, “Smuglyanka”, “Katyusha” and “Blue Scarf”, performed by the company’s employees – winners of the corporate festival “Energy of Talents”.
