Capital projects won in several categories of the All-Russian Prize More than a journeyIt aims to identify, promote, and support the initiatives of those who work with young people, organizing educational and patriotic trips across Russia.
"The successful performance of Moscow's representatives at the All-Russian awards speaks to the enormous creative and intellectual potential of Moscow's youth. It's important for us to support young people who are ready to develop civic-patriotic tourism, making it modern, interesting, and useful. Each such initiative is an investment in the future of our country," noted Margarita Savinkina, head of the "Youth of Moscow" project.
Dmitry Barmin, Deputy Head of the Passenger Services Department of the High-Speed Communications Directorate, a branch of Russian Railways, presented a cultural and educational project Memory TrainIt won in the "More Than a Tour" and "More Than a Heritage" categories. The project aims to introduce high school students to the history of the Great Patriotic War through a journey to sites of military glory, memorials, and cities associated with the key events of those years.
The train's route begins and ends in Moscow. This is no coincidence, as the capital plays a special role in the history of the Great Patriotic War. The starting and ending points are Belorussky Station, from which trains departed for the front during the war and to which the victors returned in 1945. Participants in the trip are high school students who have prepared essays on a historical topic and passed a competitive selection process. The "Train of Memory" project began in 2022 and is being implemented at the initiative of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation and the Council of the Republic of Belarus, and since 2023, under the auspices of the Union State. Russian Railways is the permanent carrier and general partner of the project.
Ekaterina Savinkova, head of the media expedition "Transsiberian: The Journey of the Young" and co-author of the "Nemalaya" project, traveled with a team along the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok, stopping in five cities. The team wanted to show, through their own example, what life is like for young people in Russia and to share the idea that traveling around the country can be meaningful and engaging. Another goal of the trip was to promote the Student Tourism program. In each city, the participants stayed in the dormitories of partner universities and met student activists. Following the meetings, a five-part miniseries was produced about each of the cities visited. The project team received a special prize from the National Priorities NGO, a partner of the All-Russian "More Than a Journey" award.
In the individual nomination “More than a Traveler,” the award was won by the founder of an international social project Young Russian Compatriots Ansorkhon Asrorov, a professor and author of academic articles on cultural diplomacy, noted that his travels provide him with the opportunity to learn about the culture and history of various Russian regions. During his travels, he visited five departments of Yugra State University: the Higher School of Ecology, the Chemical Laboratory, the Media School, the Higher School of Petroleum, and the Mukhrino International Field Station.
