The graduate of “Time of Heroes” thanked the mentors in Smolny for invaluable experience

In Smolny on November 12, a solemn awarding of diplomas to the second group of graduates of the program “Time of Heroes of St. Petersburg” took place. On behalf of the project participants, Sergey Mikhailov, who had an internship in the Health Committee, spoke. He said that during his training, he changed his understanding of the work of city authorities.

Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov agreed with the words of Vladimir Putin and stressed that the future of Russia should be handed over to heroes who have passed serious tests on the battlefield.

Russia and St. Petersburg need the experience, courage and professionalism of the SVO participants. And our soldiers have repeatedly proved their devotion to the Motherland during the fighting, the governor said.

According to Mikhailov, a year ago it seemed to the group that working with the state budget, documentation and appeals of citizens is very different from commanding a military team. However, during their studies, graduates were convinced that the basic principles of management are the same everywhere: it is important to clearly set goals, take care of subordinates and be responsible for the result.

The speaker noted that at the forefront and in peaceful life, medicine is perceived differently.

“There, behind the tape, for many of us, medicine is primarily a nurse who carries the wounded from the battlefield and a surgeon who works around the clock in the operating room. Here came the understanding that behind each saved life is hard, painstaking work, which is usually invisible, — said Sergey Mikhailov.

The graduate thanked the mentors of the program for their time, thanks to which the participants gained invaluable life experience. Separately, he expressed gratitude to Governor Alexander Beglov. According to Mikhailov, for the flow, this project became not just a way to get a diploma, but a real school.

He also stressed that the participants of the program do not promise to do without mistakes, but guarantee that they will not hide behind other people’s backs and show indifference, and intend to work as they used to serve – honestly and for the result. Sergey added that after receiving diplomas, graduates are waiting for the main exams – work for the benefit of St. Petersburgers, for which they are fully ready.
