May 8, 2015. Uralvagonzavod Corporation is celebrating the 70th Victory Day, with over 4m RUR directed for the purpose, the corporation’s press service reports.

Special events have been organized for the war veterans in Kirov, Omsk, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhniy Tagil, Nizhniy Novgorod, and other cities where the corporation’s member enterprises operate. The company museums renovated their exhibitions dedicated to the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. In fact, there are events targeted at all age groups, with a special focus on the youth: schoolchildren, college students, and plant workers will be able to meet ‘children of the war’, war veterans, and home front workers who all used to work for the corporation.

‘Lessons in courage’ and war drama showings were organized for high school students and the war veterans all over Russia. Yekaterinburg-based Plant 9 ran a special project called ‘A Letter from a Museum’.

Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant joined in We Haven’t Been to That War, a nation-wide project where photographs and stories were collected from the plant’s home front workers and war veterans. A many-hour slide show was created out of these materials and uploaded onto the Russian Civic Chamber’s website.
