A group of international students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University visited the unique Lenrezerv Museum and Exhibition Complex. The tour, organized as part of a cultural and adaptation program and events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, allowed future engineers and scientists from around the world to learn about the heroic history of the city where they would study and live.
The Lenrezerv Museum is renowned for its extensive collection of authentic military equipment, vehicles, artillery pieces, and household items from the Great Patriotic War. Each exhibit is a living testimony to the era, telling the story of the resilience of Leningrad's defenders and home front workers.
The students were particularly impressed not only by the technology itself, but also by the stories behind it. Ahmad Md. Nawab, a student at the Higher School of Biotechnology and Food Technology, shared his emotions: "It was a unique experience. We were told the history of the Lenrezerv Museum, the history of the military equipment and combat vehicles used during the war. It was very interesting! For him, like many others, it was a revelation to see the courage and dedication with which people sacrificed themselves."
Liu Yihan, a student at the preparatory department of SPbPU, remarked on the incredible energy of the exhibits: "Visiting the Lenrezerv was unforgettable. I love these authentic wartime artifacts—they remind us of the people who lived, fought, and defended this land. Thanks to such material evidence, history is no longer just words in a textbook—it comes alive."
For the university, such visits are an important part of its educational and cultural work with international students. They help not only improve their knowledge of the Russian language and history, but also deepen their understanding of Russia's values, traditions, and spiritual heritage, as well as the heroism of the people who defended their country.
The Polytechnic University will continue to organize similar excursions to promote intercultural dialogue and strengthen mutual understanding among students from around the world.
