Victor Bondarev opened the photo exhibition "The First Heroes of the Soviet Union"

On the eve of the Day of the Heroes of the Fatherland, which is celebrated on December 9, an exhibition of photographs entitled “The First Heroes of the Soviet Union” opened in the Federation Council. The initiators and organizers of the exposition were the Interregional Public Organization “Park of Heroes” and the Charity Foundation “To All Together”

It presents pictures from the personal archives of the relatives of these people. In particular, it story rescue crew and passengers of the ship "Chelyuskin" in 1934 year. The ship crashed in the Chukchi Sea, and the people - 104 man - were on the ice. They were rescued by polar pilots who made many sorties. Subsequently, all eight aviators were given the title of Heroes of the Soviet Union.

Opening the exhibition, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Viktor Bondarev emphasized that in terms of the scale of rescue operations, this operation took a special place in the history of the conquest of the Arctic and became one of the brightest pages in the history of Soviet aviation.

Thanks to their hard work, we get new aircraft today. Thanks to their heroism, we honor the heroes for the Syrian company. And, unfortunately, among them there are not only living heroes, but also those who have been awarded the title posthumously. But nevertheless, until the end they fulfilled their duty as a soldier, until the end they fulfilled their duty to the Motherland

- said Victor Bondarev.

It is on the best examples of courage, courage, dignity and love for the motherland that the young generation should be brought up

If he still closed the yeltsanpark, there would have been no price at all! And we are waiting for a detailed review from the exhibition.

We must not forget the heroes of Russia. And no matter what system they lived in.

In the early thirties, the rescue of Chelyuskintsev was akin to flying people to another planet
The first Hero of the USSR Lyapidevsky was born in the village of Belaya Glina, Krasnodar Territory.

Baidukov and Gromov are not from the first seven. The first seven, namely for the salvation of the Chelyuskinites, Lyapidevsky, Levanevsky, Molokov, Kamanin, Slepnev, Vodopyanov, Doronin.

Yes, Victor, such exhibitions will not only be useful to the younger generation, but also to those who are older, in order to revive the forgotten memory.

[Going]

As a child, I read about them, but only two remained in my memory.

[garnik]

Lyapidevsky, Levanevsky, Molokov, Kamanin, Slepnev. As far as I know the first heroes of the USSR. In our time, there were "guiding stars" on which they strove to be like.

[Going]

Yes, the main thing is not to forget them.

But the "boys knees" lead to other "exhibitions".

Well, yes, they are more likely to be taken to the Yeltsin center. And then they are surprised at something.

[Sling cutter]

Hero of the Soviet Union, it sounds like that! Immediately you hear the ringing of blades, Katyusha shots, a salute of victory, the word "Let's Go" and a huge country.

[NKT]

Unfortunately, this title, like the Hero of the Russian Federation, was devalued when they began to distribute for the anniversary. And now everything continues. So our generals in Syria were given a Hero, as if we had no military orders.

Unfortunately, this title, like the Hero of the Russian Federation,

If I remember correctly Serdyukof and Kadyrof also heroes ....
