Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated the All-Russian public movement "Victory Volunteers" on its 10th anniversary.
He emphasized the close connection between the organization's history and the anniversaries of the Great Victory. The initiative to create the movement was supported by President Vladimir Putin in 2015 based on the work of the All-Russian Volunteer Corps for the 70th Anniversary of Victory. Now, in the Year of Defender of the Fatherland, declared by the head of state, it is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The movement already unites more than 1.2 million volunteers from 89 Russian regions and 60 countries.
"Our President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work of the Victory Volunteers. The movement's volunteers not only help preserve historical memory and uphold the traditions and spiritual values of our people, but also contribute to helping the heroes—those fighting today in the Northern Military District. During the special military operation, the Victory Volunteers helped more than 17,000 mobilized personnel and their families, and answered more than 65,000 calls with requests. I wish the Victory Volunteers movement continued success in its work for the benefit of our country and its citizens, creating new ideas and bringing them to life, and I wish each volunteer the support of like-minded people and the gratitude of those around them," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.
Currently, the movement is the largest volunteer organization dedicated to civic and patriotic education and the preservation of historical memory. "Victory Volunteers" operates in six main areas: "My Victory," "My History," "Great Victory," "Connecting Generations," "Media Victory," and "Our Victories."
Volunteers help organize and support significant national and international events, such as the "Victory Letter," "St. George's Ribbon," and the International Cleanup Day. Every year, volunteers improve over 30,000 memorial sites.
Furthermore, representatives of the Victory Volunteers movement across the country conduct educational events involving special operation participants, collaborate with concerned citizens in writing letters to the front lines, collecting humanitarian aid, and participating in humanitarian missions to border regions. Volunteers from the movement regularly visit special military operation soldiers in hospitals.
The Victory Volunteers movement also acted as the operator of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory, supporting events commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and World War II. For this purpose, volunteer training centers were established in Russia and abroad. In addition to volunteer training, these centers host themed events such as days of united action, educational activities, and motivational events.
