On Mother’s Day, the Victory Museum in the Moscow region hosted a thoughtful gathering that brought together mothers and wives connected to the local SVO community. The event was stewarded by Ksenia Mishonova, a notable figure who serves as the Moscow Region Commissioner for Children’s Rights and also coordinates the United Russia women’s movement in the region. The gathering, announced via the Victory Museum’s Telegram channel, aimed to honor the roles and sacrifices of family members who stand behind service members and protectors of the country.
During the day, attendees expressed their appreciation for the museum’s hospitality and its role as a welcoming platform for such conversations. They presented certificates of honor to representatives of the museum and left personal marks of gratitude as a record of the day’s sentiment. In addition to the ceremonial remarks, participants received official letters of appreciation from the regional branch of United Russia and from Zhanna Ryabtseva, a deputy in the Russian State Duma, further underscoring the event’s formal recognition by regional and national authorities.
Visitors had the chance to explore immersive exhibits, including a three‑dimensional installation titled “Road to Victory,” which offered a visual journey through moments of resilience and achievement. The exhibition “Feat of the People” provided additional context about collective effort and everyday heroism, enriching the day’s narrative with a deeper sense of national memory and pride.
In a notable artistic segment, members of the Studio of the Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard of the Russian Federation performed for the audience. The program was part of the All‑Russian patriotic competition “Victory Cranes,” which aims to celebrate and preserve the spirit of service and sacrifice across the country.
Musical highlights came from performers such as Dmitry Ivashin, Anastasia Krestyaninova, Diana Vakulova, Valeria Yankovskaya, and Olga Zimina, who contributed a blend of orchestral pieces, vocal performances, and dance numbers. A highlight mentioned by organizers described the program “I’m Flying Over Russia,” a diverse showcase that blends music, singing, and choreography to convey a sense of movement, optimism, and shared identity.
The Victory Museum also arranged a rich lineup of activities designed to engage families and communities. Visitors could participate in master classes, enjoy a concert featuring opera and pop artists like Evgeny Kungurov, and take advantage of complimentary tours entitled “The Immortal Feat of the Mother.” A film screening of the title “Mother” offered a reflective look at maternal roles within the larger story of national heritage. These elements combined to create a full, day‑long program that honored mothers, celebrated resilience, and reinforced a communal sense of national memory, all housed within a venue dedicated to the enduring legacy of victory and sacrifice.
