A patriotic event was held at the Kolomensky Plant to commemorate the 115th anniversary of the birth (January 10, 1911) of twice Hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Aleksandrovich Zaitsev, who worked at our plant in the cast iron foundry before the war.
Electrical engineering students from the Kolomna College learned about the glorious history of the Kolomna plant. Museum curator Marina Katkova focused on the Great Patriotic War and the service of our plant's employees on the battlefield and behind the lines, 15 of whom were awarded the country's highest military award. Retired naval aviation colonel Dmitry Iosifovich Gumovsky spoke to the students in more detail about Vasily Aleksandrovich's development as a pilot and his exploits in the air. As deputy head of the public organization "Veterans of Military Service and Law Enforcement Agencies" in the Kolomna urban district, he often conducts such courage lessons at educational institutions in the city.
Such meetings are a cherished tradition at the Kolomensky Zavod. We are proud of our past and carefully preserve the legacy of our ancestors. Examples of heroism and dedication by the plant's workers are a powerful source of inspiration for the younger generation. It is through such examples that true professional pride, responsibility for one's work, and love for one's native land are instilled.
