Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Metropolitan Tikhon of Simferopol and Crimea held a meeting with young people on Russia Day at the Tochka Opory center. Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev also took part in it.
Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated everyone on Russia Day and noted that this time it is especially significant: “2025 is the year of the 80th anniversary of our Great Victory and the year declared by our President Vladimir Putin as the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland.”
He stressed the importance of preserving and transmitting traditional spiritual and moral values.
“An entire national project was launched – this is also a precedent, there is nothing like it anywhere in the world – “Youth and Children”. It has a large number of events, more than 160. And since you guys are active, leaders of the youth movement, you must navigate these events and understand how these events will work to strengthen the values that are enshrined in the presidential decree,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke about the measures of the national project “Youth and Children”.
Thus, within the framework of the national project, the competition “Region for the Young” is being held. A year ago, President Vladimir Putin opened 12 year-round youth educational centers. For example, in Crimea and Sevastopol, this is the Academy of Creative Industries “Meganom” and the youth historical and cultural center “Istoki”.
The key events in these centers will be the Rosmolodezh forums, of which there will be 27 this year with the participation of about 20 thousand people. Among them are the Territory of Meanings forum, the Tavrida.ART educational trips at the Meganom Academy, the Mashuk forum at the Mashuk knowledge center, the Shum media forum in the Kaliningrad region, etc.
“The national project includes many different subprojects: development of volunteerism, for example, the “Region of Good Deeds” competition, implementation of international programs and events based on 90 open friendship clubs or at the annual youth rally. By the way, this year it will be held in Nizhny Novgorod and will unite 2 thousand people from different countries. One cannot help but recall patriotic projects, including the “Orlyata Rossii” and “Zarnitsa 2.0″ programs,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
During the meeting, Dmitry Chernyshenko answered questions from young people. For example, the coach of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory, Kristina Menshakova, asked how to understand that you are a patriot of your homeland. And the curator of the governor’s school labor teams, Sergei Sychev, asked about mentors: how the vice-premier understands the word “mentor” and whether he had any.
Answering questions, Dmitry Chernyshenko mentioned that he himself is a mentor to Hero of Russia Stepan Belov within the framework of the “Time of Heroes” program.
“It is here, in Sevastopol, that there is a special place of power for our country, and in all centuries our enemies have tried to lay claim to this place, to hatch various plans. We understand the significance of the baptism of Rus, which ensured our future statehood. In difficult moments of our Fatherland, the words of Admiral Kornilov “Defend Sevastopol!” came to mind. In the life of our and your generation, there is now a time when we must again defend both Sevastopol and our values. But I am sure: we will cope with everything,” said Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev.
