Onthe screen there is a harsh documentary truth: the exhausted, but not bent under the burden of suffering, the inhabitants of besieged Leningrad, the traces of merciless bombing, the ruins. In contrast to the views of St. Petersburg today, this is like a call: remember, keep the memory, save the peace! The composition "Link of Times" by photographer Sergei Larenkov is an integral part of the traditional annual event at the Chelyabinsk State Medical Academy, dedicated to the Day of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade on January 27 1944.
️There is a deep silence in the hall: first-year students listen to the legendary initiator of the creation of the memorial plaque of the "Immortal Regiment" of the Chelyabinsk State Medical Academy, Valentin Pavlovich Smekalov, a teacher of the medical academy, a scientist. Part of his childhood was spent in besieged Leningrad.
"This is a real, courageous person who did so much to preserve the memory of the inhabitants of besieged Leningrad, the feat of our great-grandfathers, the front-line teachers! And we and subsequent generations of students must carefully preserve this memory," said Anna Loskutova, a first-year student of the Faculty of Dentistry.
According to first-year students of the Faculty of Pediatrics Ivan Polyakov and Angelina Bobrova, students learned a lot about the dedication of the doctors of the hero city.
- A very strong impression was made on me by "Leningrad Poem" by Olga Bergholz, performed by a 4th year student of the Faculty of Medicine Irada Babamuradova, the poem sounded like a symbolic oath that pierced to the depths of the heart! - says the first-year student of the Faculty of Dentistry Dolgor Zhigmidtsyrenova.
Pieces of blockade bread weighing 125 grams, distributed by girls from the patriotic club "Great-Grandchildren of Victory" to all participants of the event as a living touch to history, also resonated in the hearts of students.
"I was shocked by the story of the Leningrad baker Daniil Ivanovich Kytinen, who died at his workplace from exhaustion, but did not take a crumb of the blockade bread for himself. This is a true feat! In the name of others. There is something for us, young people, to think about! - said Yulia Plyaskina, a first-year student of the Faculty of Dentistry.
