Moscow is implementing an educational project called “Nearby” dedicated to the people after whom the capital’s streets were named. It allows us to look at the city in a different way, and also helps preserve historical memory and remind us that real destinies lie behind familiar names.
As part of the project, posters will be placed on 80 streets in Moscow. They will tell about the participants of the Great Patriotic War, whose names were immortalized in the city’s toponymy. Information materials can be seen at public transport stops, newsstands and classic billboards.
Each of the 80 streets is named after one of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. Thus, billboards dedicated to Georgy Zhukov, a commander who played a key role in the war, appeared on Marshal Zhukov Avenue. It was he who signed the act of unconditional surrender of Germany and hosted the Victory Parade on Red Square on June 24, 1945.
Similar posters have already been placed on several other streets, for example, on Letchitsa Tarasova, Pokryshkina and Artamonova streets.
The initiative is being carried out with the assistance of the capital’s Department of Mass Media and Advertising together with the All-Russian public-state movement of children and youth “Movement of the First”.
Moscow remembers and honors the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. Almost every district has streets named after our fathers and grandfathers who fought the Nazis. 164 streets, avenues, squares and lanes of the capital are named after the defenders of the Motherland. The city is a living memory of them. All these places can be easily found on the project website “Living Memory”.
“City of Quests” will share stories of heroes after whom streets are named
