On September 8, the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Siege of Leningrad, a series of screenings of the literary and musical composition “Russia, Don’t Be Afraid, We Are With You” began at the Polytechnic for first-year students.
For the fourth year, within the framework of the “Creative Semesters” discipline, a conversation has been conducted with students about the events in freezing blockaded Leningrad and the Donbass burning from bombings using music and words.
"Today is the day of the beginning of the Leningrad blockade, but also the day of the liberation of Donbass from the Nazi invaders. So, in one day, two such events have come together, as in our work, born in 2016, when a huge milestone in our history began and continues to this day," said the author of the project, actress of the G. A. Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater Alexandra Kulikova. "I have great hope that our word will be heard. And it should not be otherwise. Because we are honest, and the Polytechnic is permeated with attention to the young – to those who are to seek, build, love, remember and pass on."
On September 8, two screenings took place in a row. The first to hear poems by Anna Akhmatova and Olga Berggolts, poems and documentary texts by Donbass residents, accompanied by an orchestra, were first-year students of the Institute of Energy and the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity.
Full halls, hundreds of students, and like one! Attentive and listening… They managed to put their phones aside for a while and live this story with us. I feel great gratitude and tenderness for each of them and I believe that each of them has purity, compassion, love for people and their country, – noted Alexandra Kulikova.
The composition, which combined poetry, documentary evidence and music, became an important emotional and educational experience for the students.
I couldn't hold back my tears… Expressive reading, piercing music and the topic itself – it was unexpected to find myself at such a lecture. This is a very important work of the university – everyone should know about the terrible events that happened and are still happening, – shared 1st year student of the Institute of Historical and Cultural Studies Valentina Fomina.
The management of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is grateful to the actress of the G. A. Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater Alexandra Kulikova and the conductor of the Donetsk Philharmonic Valeria Putra, who united singers and musicians to implement this important statement. Preserving the memory of the exploits of the past and present helps polytechnicians become not only the engineering elite of the country, but also people devoted to their Fatherland.
