International "Victory Dictation" Action Held in Ashgabat
On the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, an international educational campaign titled "Victory Dictation" was held in Ashgabat. The event was organized to preserve historical memory and pass on the heroism of our ancestors to the younger generation.
The Joint Turkmen-Russian School named after A.S. Pushkin in Ashgabat and the "Russian House" in Turkmenistan served as venues for the international action. Along with Turkmen youth, representatives from more than 90 countries around the world actively participated in this solemn event.
Before the start of the test, Lieutenant Colonel Valeriy Devyatkov, senior assistant to the military attaché of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Turkmenistan, delivered a speech. He noted that Victory Day is a symbol of the unity and bravery of all nations who fought together.
"Today’s event is a tribute to those who changed the course of history. We are gathered here to ensure this heroism is never forgotten and to pass it on to future generations," emphasized V. Devyatkov.
During the dictation, the contributions of the Turkmen people in the struggle against fascism were particularly highlighted. According to historical data:
- During the war years, more than 300,000 people from Turkmenistan went to the front as volunteers or conscripts.
- For their bravery, 130,000 soldiers were awarded various orders and medals.
- 104 of our compatriots were honored with the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
- 15 soldiers became full cavaliers of the Order of "Glory."
The youth participating in the action not only tested their historical knowledge but also paid great respect to the memory of our ancestors who worked tirelessly in the rear and fought at the front.
