Residents of the Tambov region became winners and prize-winners of the contest “In memory of heroes are true!”

The Victory Museum in Moscow hosted a solemn awarding ceremony for the winners of the All-Russian Patriotic Contest of Creative Works “In Memory of Heroes Are True!”. Among the best included two representatives of the Tambov region. In total, 90 authors from different regions of Russia were noted at the ceremony.

The victory in the nomination “Author’s photo” was won by a soldier of the Regardie Administration in the Tambov region, senior sergeant Yulia Sevostyanova. The hero of her picture was the current employee of the special rapid reaction unit "Taran", captured during the performance of service and combat tasks in the zone of a special military operation.

“I dedicate my victory to all defenders who stand guard of law and order, often at the cost of their lives,” Yulia Sevostyanova said.

The second place in the nomination “Letter to the hero” was taken by a student of the lyceum No. 14 Alisa Solntseva. She dedicated her work to the deceased Hero of Russia Dmitry Semyonov.

This year, the participants of the competition were residents of Russia aged 7 to 91 years. The works were accepted in nine nominations - among them essays and stories about the events of a special military operation and military dynasties, poems, songs, photographs, drawings and letters to the heroes.

The All-Russian contest “In memory of heroes are true!” is held by the State Fund “Defenders of the Fatherland”. For four years it brought together more than 12 thousand participants from all over the country. The best works are included in electronic collections dedicated to the heroes of a special military operation.
