Employees of Krasnodar’s NIPIGAZ cleaned up war graves

8 june 2021

In Krasnodar, NIPIGAZ employees took part in a volunteering event called "The Way of Heroes" that involved tidying up the graves of World War II heroes at Vsesvyatsky cemetery. This volunteer project was among the winners of the Marathon of Good Deeds implemented within the framework of SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program.

During the cleanup, a team of corporate volunteers repainted grave fences, removed weeds from the graves of World War II heroes, generally cleaned the surrounding area, and beautified existing floral plantings.

It’s gratifying to know that as our volunteering project continues being implemented, the circle of its participants is expanding. We were joined not only by the employees of our Engineering Center, but also by members of their families who came together with their children! I would like to thank everyone who came to help with the cleanup! Praise and honor those who accomplished this remarkable act of heroism for the sake of all of us, those who were able to end the war at the cost of their own lives, Darya Shabanova, Manager of NIPIGAZ JSC, mastermind and supervisor of "The Way of Heroes" volunteering project, commented.

The voluntary cleanup was the second visit of NIPIGAZ volunteers to Vsesvyatskoye cemetery. Last year, the site’s volunteering team organized a series of patriotic campaigns on the occasion of the75th anniversary of the Victory Day. Young volunteers of NIPIGAZ and KubSTU installed a memorial plaque to the fallen hero pilots Victor Kuznetsov and Alexander Reshetinsky who were shot down in a battle over Abrau-Durso Lake on April 19, 1943. They also cleaned up the graves of World War II heroes Teodor Kulakov (1900-1943) and Alexei Stolov (1902-1953).
