On the eve of Victory Day, an off-site creative campaign was held in the city. On the platform of a stylized front-line truck, primary school students from Pushkin Pro-lyceum No. 78 performed poems and songs of the war years for residents and guests of the city.
The director of the lyceum, Gulnara Garipova, said that the idea for the event came up immediately – the institution prepares different formats of work with children, parents, and teachers every year. This year, they used a "front-line" truck, which, just like during the war years, lifts people's spirits. The program included vocal and choreographic performances, songs about the war from both war and peace times ("Sukhodol", "Katyusha"), as well as poems in Russian and Tatar dedicated to that era.
"There is a public demand for such events because it is about memory and the continuity of generations," noted Gulnara Garipova. "The children who participate in this concert realize that they are not just listening to words or singing songs – they understand that this memory must be passed on by word of mouth. Different spectators – passers-by, elderly people, children with their parents – all stop, listen, and empathize. This is truly needed for our city."
The improvised motor rally covered three locations. The first stop took place at the "Motherland" monument. Here, the young artists gave a mini-concert for everyone. Then, the mobile stage proceeded to the city administration building, where the students congratulated the mayor's office staff. The final point of the route was a health resort.
The event drew a strong emotional response from the audience. For the children, participating in the campaign became not only a creative experience but also an important lesson in memory and respect for the older generation.
