In Pskov, the action “Angel of Memory” was held, timed to the World Day of Remembrance of Victims of Traffic Accidents

On November 15, 2026, on the third Sunday of the month, Pskov, like many cities of the world, joined the events dedicated to the World Day of Remembrance of Victims of Road Traffic Accidents, established by the UN General Assembly resolution.

Employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Pskov together with educational institutions held a traditional action “Angel of Memory”. The participants were asked to make an angel figurine from any available materials. This symbol is intended to remind drivers and pedestrians of the need to strictly observe the rules of the road, as a guardian angel can not always prevent disaster.

Within the framework of the All-Russian initiative “Friendly Country of YID”, a teleconference was held between detachments of young traffic inspectors from Pskov multidisciplinary lyceum No. 8 and their colleagues from the city of Orel. During the online meeting, students exchanged their experience and spoke about the cultural peculiarities of their regions.

In addition, in kindergartens and schools of Pskov, thematic lines, class hours and informational “five-minutes” were held. Teachers and students posted photo collages and videos on social networks with the hashtags #Memory of Victims and #Pskov2026, drawing public attention to the problem of road accidents.

The organizers emphasize that the culture of behavior on the road is formed from childhood, and call on each participant of the movement to realize their responsibility for the lives of loved ones and strangers.
