More than 72 years have passed since the end of World War II. If in the 70s and 80s most of the participants in the May 9 parade were directly veterans, combatants and home front workers, today only a small part of them are able to take part - someone is no longer with us, someone that does not allow health.
In this regard, several years ago, an action was created that quickly received popular support and spread throughout the world. The composition of schoolchildren “Immortal Regiment” is a creative work aimed at preserving the memory of generations and maintaining the image of a victorious people who honestly deserved this title with blood and sweat.
Stock History
In 2012, several residents of Tomsk came up with a new campaign dedicated to Victory Day. That year, coordinated on social networks, about two thousand people walked around the city with portraits of their relatives who took part in the war.
Looking ahead, we note that in the work "Immortal Regiment" it makes sense to mention some facts about the action - where it started, what is its value to society, what is its scope.
To date, the festive procession gathers tens of millions of people on the streets of cities and villages of our country. The traditional leaders are two capitals: Moscow and St. Petersburg, where in 2017 up to one million and seven hundred thousand people respectively took part in the action.
The event’s geography is also rich: with portraits of their near and dear ones, people took to the streets of cities in 80 states, including the United States of America, China, all European countries and even Australia, Brazil and South Africa! The action became truly popular, and the work of schoolchildren “Immortal Regiment”, which is written in high school, confirms this fact.
Why write creative work?
Human memory is not eternal - events pass, the heroes age, and what seemed unshakable yesterday takes on the form of certain vague images. In 1941-1945, our country was defended by people who are your grandfathers and great-grandfathers. In memory of the heroes and heroines of that war, we still have fragments of our common history - about battles and work in the rear, defeats and victories, scary (and sometimes funny!) Stories that are so significant for each individual family and for the whole country .
The work “Immortal Regiment” in the 4th grade already affects the system of values that makes people a people, thanks to which society becomes one, even despite some differences.

They say that there is no such family in Russia that did not lose one of their relatives in that terrible war. Indeed, up to 27 million people died and went missing during World War II. However, many sent letters home, and many survived, telling about the events at the front - these are the great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers of the guys who are today writing about their family - students of the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The work “Immortal Regiment” gives you a reason to go to relatives to ask questions about which of your family took part in the war, where they served, in which troops, on which front. Only by asking questions will you be able to find out what you someday proudly tell your own children and grandchildren.
