On May 7, a traditional celebration dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War was held on the square in front of the main building of NSU. The event brought together not only NSU students and staff, but also residents of Akademgorodok.
Many were united by the concert of front-line songs by student creative groups of NSU, who performed famous compositions from the back of a military vehicle.
During the concert, several interactive platforms were operating in parallel: “Search Movement”, “Frontline Letters”, “Scientists to the Front”, “Military Hospital” and, of course, a field kitchen!
— Colleagues, friends, I congratulate you on this wonderful, sacred holiday for our country — the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. This is, of course, a holiday that has gone down in history forever. Our people, our army crushed the greatest evil of the 20th century — fascism. On the other hand, this day for us is a day of sorrow, because we paid an immeasurably high price for this Great Victory. The Soviet Union lost 27 million of its fellow citizens. We should more often remember those people who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of our Motherland, the countries of Europe and the world. Our main task is to preserve in the memory of the people, in the memory of the younger generation this heroic feat of the Soviet people and the soldiers-liberators. I congratulate you on this wonderful holiday and wish you well, a peaceful sky above your heads! — the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk addressed the participants and guests of the festive program.
A special part of the event was a retro fashion show in costumes from the pre-war and war years, a dance program and master classes. The concert “At the Soldier’s Campfire” in the park behind the NSU laboratory building added intimacy to the event.
— I decided to take part in the retro fashion show because I wanted to be a part of this great holiday, to serve as a link in the transfer of memory between generations, and I am very grateful to the organizers for this opportunity. This year’s holiday left unforgettable impressions, and for me this day was the best of the entire academic year — it brought me the brightest emotions and a feeling of complete happiness! I was very happy to perform in public, and the master class on 1940s dances made me truly happy! I was also very impressed by the songs with a guitar in the courtyard of the old building of NSU — it was nice to listen to a wonderful performance of beautiful, eternal songs — songs with great meaning and memories of those distant days for us, — Polina Ryabova, a second-year master’s student, shared her emotions and impressions. Faculty of Economics, NSU.
The creative groups that took part in the festive program were the NSU vocal studio “Million Voices”, the NSU Music Club, the historical dance studio “Medival”, the student association “Evening of Songs with a Guitar” and the NSU Academic Choir.
The event partner was the Academburo (ANO KIC “Integral 2.0”).
