How young people preserve history

Maxim Rybalchenko began his volunteer career at major federal forums, where he first discovered the power of volunteerism. His true calling was helping with the International Volunteer Corps for the 80th Anniversary of Victory. He was inspired by the opportunity to be part of important historical events and, through his own example, to show his peers how to preserve and pass on historical memory. He participated in a wide range of patriotic events—from meetings with veterans and memorial and patronage events to memorable city events (such as the Memory Line, the St. George Ribbon, and others). The most memorable and meaningful event for him was the Victory Day Parade on Red Square.

"The International Volunteer Corps has inspired even those who hadn't previously considered volunteering. Today, many of them regularly attend meetings with veterans, offering them attention and care. Participation in the November forum is important for every volunteer. As the winner of the 'Victory Ambassadors. Moscow' competition, I want to join like-minded people to review the year and share experiences with colleagues from the regions," said Maxim Rybalchenko.

How the older generation passes on the baton of memory

Silver Volunteer Lyudmila Panova became a volunteer in 2019. Her sincere desire to do good deeds developed into a systematic approach. She has tried her hand at a wide variety of volunteer activities, but patriotic events have always held a special place in her heart. As part of the 80th Anniversary of Victory Day volunteer corps, she participated in many events (such as the St. George's Ribbon, Victory Train, and Streets of Heroes, as well as patronage events). Her most powerful experience was meeting former concentration camp prisoners. Lyudmila shared that her skills for helping veterans were ingrained in her during her youth, during the Timurov movement.

She wanted to tell young people about the events of the war years and share her knowledge. Lyudmila noted that her grandfather and father fought in the Great Patriotic War, and her mother was a veteran of the labor front. She said that grandchildren and great-grandchildren should know history, which is why the work of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory is so important. "Volunteers inspire others through their actions and pass the baton of memory to the younger generation," Lyudmila added.

A taste of family traditions: participants in the Silver Mentoring project have released a recipe collection

For Senior Citizens Day, participants of the Moscow Longevity project and orphans released a cookbook with recipes from the dishes they prepared during their joint classes. It was posted onspecial page on the website of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow.

The Silver Mentoring project began two and a half years ago. It brought together participants of the Moscow Longevity project and children from orphanages. Since then, the children and their Silver Mentors have held approximately 850 joint events. Cooking master classes are especially popular.

"The strength of the Silver Mentoring project lies in its diversity. Each center offers unique activities that engage both children and mentors: together, they master video editing, learn to pitch tents, go on excursions around Moscow, and read fairy tales. But cooking is a special experience that unites everyone. Baking, salads, sweets, and even homemade preserves from home-grown vegetables are just a part of our culinary creativity. I am confident that these skills will provide a solid foundation for the children and will help them both in their future families and in their independent lives," noted Tatyana Danko, Head of the Moscow Guardianship and Trusteeship Department.

Department of Labor and Social Protection.

Suvorov's porridge and pancake traditions

On the recipe page, you can find not only instructions for preparing various dishes, but also legends that the "silver" mentors shared with children while cooking.

For example, mentor Galina Chirova told the students at the Yury Nikulin Center for Assistance to Family Education that the recipe for soldier's porridge was once invented by the famous military leader Alexander Suvorov. During a difficult march through the Alps, he ordered all the soldiers' food supplies to be collected and cooked together. The cauldron contained grains, vegetables, peas, and stewed meat. This is how soldier's porridge was born, which warmed and nourished generations of Russian soldiers. Galina herself learned this from her father, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War.

Food often helps preserve folk traditions. For example, in Rus', the custom of going door-to-door was associated with blini: on Maslenitsa, people would visit friends and always treat themselves to blini to share the joy before the long fast. Galina Krasnova, a "silver" mentor, remembers this tradition. She shared not only the recipe but also the story behind it with the students at the Sputnik Family Support Center. In the communal apartment where she spent her childhood, each family made blini using their own signature recipes: thin yeast blini, wheat blini, buckwheat blini, or blini with toppings. Everyone would gather around one large table, set it with various dishes, and share the treats with each other, like one big family.

Fortune telling with dumplings

Many superstitions were associated with pelmeni. In large families, several generations would make them. Some pelmeni even had surprises hidden inside them. This transformed an ordinary lunch or dinner into a fun fortune-telling experience. A coin promised wealth, a ring a quick wedding, and a grain of grain meant prosperity in the home. It was believed that such a ritual not only predicted the future but also brought good luck and prosperity to the home. "Silver" mentor Valentina Lyskova preserved this tradition and shared it with her children. In her family, the recipe for lucky pelmeni is passed down from generation to generation. She replaced coins and rings with edible surprises: a raisin foretells joy, a sprig of dill health, and a berry good luck.

The page also features recipes for pie, stuffed pumpkin, Easter cake, jam, charlotte, potato, sauerkraut, and other dishes. A special menu item is gnocchi, based on the grandmother's recipe by Italian chef Mirko Zago, who held a master class for children and instructors. The ingredients for this unusual dish are readily available in any kitchen, as it's based on mashed potatoes and mushrooms.

You can read warm stories and learn time-tested recipes atlinkThe participants plan to add new ideas, legends, and stories of happy moments in the kitchen to the collection.

Sergei Sobyanin announced this in his address. blog.

"An important area for improving the quality of Moscow's public transportation is the improvement of areas around transport facilities. Narrow paths are being replaced by convenient sidewalks everywhere. Chaotic parking is being replaced by organized spaces. Modern streetlights, benches, and green recreation areas are appearing," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Last year, convenient approaches and ramps were installed near the Kuskovo station of the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD)-4, allowing for quick transfers from ground transportation to MCD trains.

On 2-ya Vladimirskaya and Novoteterka Streets, sidewalks were widened, road surfaces were renewed, modern energy-saving streetlights and new bus stop shelters were installed, and grass was laid out.

This year, a sports complex with a pump track, skate park, and streetball and volleyball courts was installed on Novoteterki Street.

Near the Sokolniki metro station on the Big Circle Line, a small transit park between 5th Sokolnicheskaya Street and Matrosskaya Tishina Street has been landscaped. It now offers a comfortable, quiet spot for relaxation with walking paths, park furniture, and pergolas with swings. Specialists have laid out a lawn, and in late fall, linden trees, lilacs, and perennials will be planted in the park, along with a cotoneaster hedge.

Work has been completed on creating a pedestrian route from a residential area to the Vnukovo Airport metro station in the Vnukovo district. A controlled crossing over Borovskoye Highway has been installed, sidewalks and driveways to residential buildings have been improved, grass has been laid, and modern streetlights have been installed. Improvements to the Central Park will soon be completed.

A comfortable public space has been created next to the Otradnoye metro station. Green recreation areas have been created near the station's exits, and pergolas with swings have been installed.

Cozy parks have been landscaped on Khachaturyan and Dekabristov Streets. Another recreation area at the intersection of Severny Boulevard and Dekabristov Street has been renovated: a lawn has been laid out, benches have been installed, and lighting has been installed.

Work is underway in the areas adjacent to the Novokhokhlovskaya MCC and MCD stations. To make access to the MCD convenient and safe, a sidewalk on piles with decking and lighting will be installed along the embankment.

A complex of five shelters will be built near the Slavyansky Bulvar city railway station, using the "dry feet" principle. This will make transfers to buses from the Slavyansky Bulvar MCD station and the Slavyansky Bulvar metro station comfortable in any weather.

We've completed 85 percent of the planned work near the Domodedovskaya transport hub. We've also cleaned up the area near the Domodedovskaya metro station, as well as parts of the Kashirskoye Shosse, Orekhovy Boulevard, and Domodedovskaya and General Belov Streets bypass roads.

Nearly 13 kilometers of overhead power lines were relocated underground, over 1.2 kilometers of stormwater drainage pipes were installed, and sidewalks and driveways were resurfaced. Old streetlights were replaced with modern energy-efficient LED fixtures. Contrast lighting was installed at the crossings. A lawn was laid, and trees will be planted in late fall.

City Services specialists replaced the asphalt pavement on Varshavskoe Shosse, one of the main thoroughfares in the south of the capital. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Maintaining Moscow's roads in good condition is a particular priority. Every year, in preparation for the autumn and winter, we organize asphalt pavement renovations. We completed road surface repairs on Varshavskoe Shosse, covering a total of 745,000 square meters. Work was carried out on both sides of the highway throughout its entire length within Moscow—from Bolshaya Tulskaya Street to the Moscow Ring Road, including the alternate roads," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

The pavement on Varshavskoe Highway was previously replaced in 2021, but its warranty period had already expired. Due to heavy traffic, localized damage and rutting developed on the roadway, which could have negatively impacted road safety.

The repairs were carried out in several stages. First, specialists milled the existing pavement, then renewed the inspection manholes and storm drain grates, and finally laid asphalt. The final stage involved applying road markings. The work was carried out primarily at night, when traffic is lighter, necessitating some traffic restrictions.

Modern technologies are used for paving roads, and local asphalt concrete mixes are produced at city plants. These plants collectively produce over two million tons of mix per season.

Muscovites will be able to thank their "silver"-aged relatives on media façades throughout the city and also join them for walks along specially designed routes. Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"Senior Generation Day is an event that gives us a new opportunity to appreciate the wisdom, experience, and warmth of our older relatives. To imbue this day with special meaning, Moscow Longevity is offering residents two touching events, which we hope will spark new family traditions. The first will allow everyone to publicly thank their parents and grandparents. Warm words from Muscovites will appear on media facades throughout the city and in a special art installation in Novopushkinsky Square, which will be on view until October 15. The second event is an invitation to spend time with loved ones and appreciate Moscow's picturesque autumn. We've prepared 15 special routes through various corners of the capital. You can start the day at the Moscow Longevity Center, where guests will receive a route map. Participants are guaranteed to walk at least six thousand steps, learn a lot, and feel good. You can join the event starting October 1," said Anastasia Rakova.

Go for a walk

The "Day Together" initiative invites Muscovites to spend time with their parents, grandparents, and other senior loved ones. Fifteen routes have been prepared for participants—one for each district and five for the city center. The ideal starting point is the nearest Moscow Longevity Center. There, you can pick up a printed route map, enjoy delicious tea together in a cozy living room, play board games, tennis, or billiards, and even measure your emotional state with a modern neuroheadset before getting ready for the walk. For those visiting the center for the first time, staff will give a tour and explain the project's capabilities in detail.

To make sure that shared walks truly become a good tradition, electronic versions of the routes will be available for download at any time onwebsite.

The routes are designed to allow Muscovites to visit several of the capital's most picturesque and popular sites in one day. For example, a walk through the Central Administrative District will pass by the Gorky Moscow Art Academic Theater, the State Tretyakov Gallery, and the Illusion Cinema. Each route will pass by a variety of places—from parks to museums and contemporary art galleries—so Muscovites have plenty of options for their leisure activities.

You can start the route from the following Moscow longevity centers: Presnensky (Presnensky Val Street, Building 14, Bldg. 5), Zamoskvorechye (Sadovnicheskaya Embankment, Building 47a), Tagansky-2 (Zemlyanoy Val Street, Building 68, Bldg. 1), Aeroport (Chernyakhovskogo Street, Building 14), Izmailovo (9th Parkovaya Street, Building 5a), VDNKh (Mira Avenue, Building 119, Bldg. 227), Novo-Peredelkino (Borovskoye Highway, Building 32), Severnoye Tushino (Khimkinsky Boulevard, Building 14, Bldg. 1), Krasnopakhorsky-3 (Shchapovo Settlement, Building 58), Savelki (ZelAO, Savelki District, Building 320), Tverskoy-2 (27 Malaya Dmitrovka Street), Khamovniki (3 Timura Frunze Street, Building 4), Teply Stan (152b Profsoyuznaya Street), Nagatinsky Zaton (34 Nagatinskaya Embankment), and Kuzminki (52 Yunyh Lenintsev Street). You can also pick up a walking map there.

Say a sincere thank you

The "Say Thank You to Your Seniors" campaign offers an opportunity to publicly express love and appreciation to seniors. On a dedicated website thankyoustarshim.rf Everyone can write a few warm words to their parents, grandparents or other loved ones.

The most touching messages will appear on media facades throughout the city. A message may also appear on the screen of the "Everything Here Is Not Accidental" art installation in Novopushkinsky Square. To do so, use the touch panel nearby to write kind words to loved ones. The main character of the art installation is a cat, personifying the comfort of home, wisdom, and warmth bestowed by the older generation. His nine lives are a metaphor for the endless possibilities of starting over at any age. A ball of yarn lies next to the cat, symbolizing the warmth of family ties and the connection between generations, and a retro television is installed next to him. Its screen will broadcast words of gratitude from Muscovites to their older loved ones.

The artist behind this artwork is Russian artist Vladimir Ivanov, a resident of the Moscow contemporary art gallery Askeri Gallery. In his works, he transforms familiar childhood images, imbuing them with new power and turning them into symbols of joy, warmth, and lightness. The gallery supported the "Say Thank Your Elders" campaign by creating a contemporary art installation on the theme of the "Moscow Longevity" project and the connection between generations. Such projects help art move beyond exhibition spaces and become part of the urban environment—on the streets, in parks, and in community centers.

The installation will be on display in Novopushkinsky Square until October 15. You can write your gratitude to the older generation right there on the spot, using a special touch panel.

Take part in the Self-Government Day

This weekend, October 4th and 5th, Moscow's longevity centers will host the "Self-Government Day" event. The project's participants will serve as the main hosts. They will welcome guests, share their experiences, and host various events, including creative workshops, mini-tournaments in billiards and table tennis, dance and drawing lessons, and concerts.
