In the reunited regions, for the anniversary of the Victory, road workers are tidying up the areas near memorial sites along the roads that are under repair. For example, the state company Avtodor alone has improved about 20 such spaces, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“From the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the capture of Donbass was one of the goals of Nazi Germany. Despite the fierce resistance of the Red Army, the Nazi occupation of the cities and villages of the mining region began in October 1941, and lasted until the end of September 1943. In memory of these and other events, many memorials have been created in the territory of all four new regions. Road workers are also involved in their improvement. In the DPR, the area around six monuments has been tidied up, in the LPR – around nine. In the Zaporizhia region, work was carried out along the Tokmak-Chernigovka highway,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
In Mariupol, the villages of Vasilyevka and Razdolnoye, as well as other settlements of the DPR, sidewalks were paved. In Chervona Polyana of the LPR, the territory was cleared, concrete surfaces were repaired and painted, damaged reinforced concrete slabs were replaced near the monument to Soviet soldiers near the village of Verkhnyaya Pokrovka, and parking areas were arranged.
“For us, this is not just landscaping work. The roads that we repair in the reunited regions are a connecting thread that preserves an important part of the historical memory of our country. We remember, are proud and cherish the feat of those who built the roads leading to Victory. Now it is our turn to build a peaceful future for the country. For residents of the regions and those wishing to honor the memory of the soldiers, we have arranged sidewalks and parking pockets, and also carried out landscaping of the territory near the memorials,” added Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the State Company Avtodor.
