August 11, 2026 · 1 min read

At the spiritual and educational center at the Church of the Holy Prophet Elijah in Koltushi, a meeting was held with members of the detachment of Orthodox pathfinders named after the holy righteous Simeon of Verkhoturye, who arrived from the Urals.

A lecture was given to the guests on the defense of Leningrad and breaking the blockade. The children were told about the feat of the defenders and residents of the besieged city, the difficult trials of the war years and the price that had to be paid for the liberation of Leningrad.

We paid attention to the preservation of historical memory and the need to carefully pass on evidence of the events of the Great Patriotic War to the younger generation. The participants also discussed the problem of distortion of historical facts and attempts to justify the crimes of Nazism.
