On December 9, the multifunctional cultural and leisure center on Grina Street (a branch of the State Budgetary Institution "My Leisure Center "Atlant") in Severnoye Butovo celebrated Heroes of the Fatherland Day. The program began outside with performances by creative groups and a field kitchen. Guests warmed up with hot tea and sampled authentic soldier's porridge.
Exhibition and master classes
Several thematic areas were located inside the building. Particularly noteworthy was the exhibition "Heroes of the Fatherland" by artist Aida Lisenkova-Hanemeier. It featured portraits of defenders of the Motherland, elements of modern equipment, weapon models, and uniforms of soldiers and employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Adjacent to the exhibition was a book exhibition featuring literature on Russian military history and the heroic deeds of our contemporaries.
At the workshops, everyone learned how to weave camouflage nets. Guests also observed 3D printing of equipment components and saw how an anti-drone blanket works.
A charity fair was held in the foyer. Items created by the center's artisans and students were on sale: paintings, souvenirs made of fabric and salt dough, Christmas tree decorations, home decor, and knitted items.
Cinema, concert and meeting with the heroes
The center's auditorium hosted the premiere of a documentary about participants in the special military operation (SMO), "Heroes of the Southwest," produced by the district prefecture's press service. Viewers were treated to stories of residents whose lives were changed by their service in the special operation zone. A common theme throughout the film was the district's volunteers' work collecting and delivering humanitarian aid as an integral part of their overall support for the front.
Vasily Chekalin, Alexey Pososhkov, and Alexander Shelkovoy were the event's honorary guests and featured in the film. After the screening, audience members interacted with them, expressing their gratitude and support.
The highlight of the celebration was a grand gala concert, "Through Time and Fates," featuring the best performing groups from the Southwestern Administrative District, Mosconcert artists, and students from the Atlant group. The audience also enjoyed performances by "The Voice" finalist Anastasia Spiridonova, the male vocal group Tenori, the guslar ensemble "Kupina," and singer Dzhulinn. The audience warmly welcomed special guests, the band "Nashi," led by retired special forces lieutenant colonel Alexander Vanyushkin.
The evening demonstrated the importance of intergenerational unity and respect for the heroism of the defenders of the Fatherland. All proceeds from ticket and merchandise sales at the charity fair will go to support the participants of the SVO.
