This year was
declared the Year of parks and gardens by President of the Republic of
Tatarstan. And Kazan citizens as no one else could see large-scale renovation, that have taken place in many city parks. But
perhaps the most important project for us was the reconstruction of the Victory
Park on the eve of May 9 - the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great
Patriotic War.
To complete
the work in time, taking into account the views of our veterans and with respect
to the historical truth, has become a priority for us at our work. After all it's not just a green area, Victory
Park should correspond to it’s name and have to transfer the spirit of the
Victory. I think we honorably coped with the task. Memorial park area has been completely
renovated, an electronic pavilion of the Memory Books has been opened, the museum
of military equipment in the open air has got a second life. Finally, the
legendary T-34 tank has appeared in the park. It's a real battle tank, that had
fought for the Victory. And the Board of Trustees of the park, the builders
showed such reverent attention to every detail! Of course, the best reward for
their work became the happy eyes of veterans who have experienced a sense of
joy and pride for the country.
In my opinion,
all Kazan citizens, who have not visited the Victory Park yet, should
definitely do it to feel the spirit of history, pay tribute to our veterans and
just relax with the whole family.
