A lesson in courage was held at the Stavropol State Agrarian University

The patriotic event was dedicated to the 78th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The event was attended by veterans of the university, representatives of the regional, city and district councils of veterans, as well as heads of veteran organizations of the university and students. Among the speakers were Deputy Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the Stavropol Territory Igor Gritsenko, Veteran of the Russian Armed Forces, aviation navigator, retired colonel Anatoly Zubko and Deputy Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the city of Stavropol Sergey Ostrikov.

The central theme of the Lesson of Courage was a report on the feat of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War. Special attention was focused on the contribution of the inhabitants of Stavropol to the Victory and on modern times - the heroic deeds of Russian soldiers and their courageous service to the Motherland in a special military operation.

- In the perception of the Great Patriotic War, we often focus on victorious joy, forgetting that the hardest sacrificial path of 1418 days, laid through suffering and deprivation, led to the pronunciation of the very word "Victory". Therefore, the participants in those events, if they shared their memories of the war, then very sparingly. Fighting and defeating the enemy, they thought about peace and bequeathed to reach new heights in the creation of their native Fatherland in peaceful conditions. And the resulting special military operation is ultimately aimed precisely at establishing peace on the western borders of Russia, - said the organizer of the event, Chairman of the Council of Veterans of SSAU Nikolai Guzynin.

The folk choir of the Stavropol State Agrarian University also performed for those present, the musical group of which performed songs from the times of the Great Patriotic War and folk songs.
