Among the prominent participants in the press conference were Dmitry Kiselev, General Director of the International Media Group ‘Russia Today’; Olga Zanko, Head of the Central Headquarters of the All-Russian Public Organization ‘Victory Volunteers’ and Deputy Chair of the State Duma Committee on Civil Society, Public and Religious Associations; Ivan Bondyukov, Director of the ‘Verchina’ National Military Education Center and a participant in the All-Russian Public Organization ‘Victory Volunteers’; and Viktor Bondikov, Head of the Cadet Department at School No. 1409, an international veteran figure and retired colonel awarded the Order of the Red Star.
During the Great Patriotic War, millions of Soviet citizens would start their mornings with the phrase ‘From the Soviet Information Bureau…’; these reports unified the country, instilled courage, and inspired heroic deeds. Whether during the Great Patriotic War or even today, war correspondents from the ‘Russia Today’ media group perform their professional duties on the front lines.
The campaign is carried out by thousands of ‘Victory Volunteers’ with media support from the International Media Group ‘Russia Today’. As is customary, the first St. George Medals are distributed to everyone at ‘Zubovsky 4’.
