Activists in Amur Oblast’s Svobodny joined the international Garden of Memory tree-planting campaign to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and pay tribute to fallen heroes. More than 20 volunteers took part in greening a memorial parkette dedicated to war veterans on the corner of Zeyskaya and Mukhina streets, planting a total of 34 saplings.

Leonid Chifanov, a local resident and a teacher/organizer at the Amur Institute of Railway Transport, was the one who spearheaded this initiative. As he was clearing his yard of post-winter debris, he came up with an idea of beautifying the city by transplanting saplings from his garden into the city’s streets. After consulting Svobodny’s city administration on preferred locations and securing their support, he proceeded to enlist the help of local volunteering communities.

Maria Shevchuk, Lead Specialist for Youth, Family and Children’s Affairs at Svobodny’s city administration, the leader of the city’s volunteering community:
“The Garden of Memory is not just a one-off campaign. It is a tradition that helps us respect our heritage, national history, and family legacies. Thanks to the support of Svobodny’s Housing and Utilities Services Directorate we made a decision to join forces with Leonid and beautify our parkette that had been laid out in honor of local heroes who had fallen in the line of duty. Our concerted efforts represented a true symbol of unity and gratitude.”

The patriotic eco-campaign was a success thanks to active involvement of Svobodny’s city administration, the community of volunteers preparing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as corporate volunteers from the Amur Chapter of the National Corporate Volunteering Council (NCVC), including the Amur GCC, the Amur Institute of Railway Transport with its team of freshmen volunteers representing the Railway Rolling Stock Maintenance class, the Amur Branch of Gazpromtrans, the Movement of the Firsts, the primary trade union organization of Svobodny’s Territorial Section of the Trans-Baikal Railway Heat/Water Supply Service, and Svobodny’s Fadeyev Children’s Railway.

The campaign resulted in volunteers’ planting the following plant species: 12 acacias symbolizing resilience and longevity, 9 Hungarian lilacs adding diversity of vibrant colors, 7 white lilacs emitting tender fragrance and exuding a sense of peace, 5 cherry blossoms embodying beauty and fragility of life, and a stately Manchurian walnut, an embodiment of wisdom and fortitude.
