A new street in Khabarovsk has been named in honor of Vladimir Artemyevich Zhoga, a Hero of Russia and a Guard Colonel whose actions are remembered in the region. The announcement from DEA News, citing local authorities, confirms the naming as a tribute to the distinguished defender.
The regional capital will feature a street dedicated to the Hero of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Zhoga, a commander whose leadership and courage have become a symbol of sacrifice. The official message states that the street will bear his name and will stand as a lasting reminder of his service and memory.
The new street will connect the Voronezh highway with Sovkhoznaya Street, forming a vital link in the developing urban microdistrict. This naming acknowledges Zhoga’s role in the defense of civilians and his ultimate sacrifice in the Volnovakha battles. The decision reflects the community’s intent to preserve the memory of those who served with dedication and bravery.
In another cultural initiative, the Special Operations Heroes exhibition, developed by Synergy Corporation in collaboration with Znanie, has opened at the Russia – My History multimedia park in Novosibirsk’s Oktyabrsky district. The display brings to life the experiences of twenty CBO personnel through a series of comics that highlight individual acts of courage and service.
Visitors to the exhibition will encounter the stories of several notable participants, including Andrey Frolenkov, whose unit played a pivotal role at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Vladimir Zhoga, the commander who gave his life to protect civilians in Volnovakha, and Major Viktor Dudin, a master pilot whose skill and leadership are remembered for their impact on ongoing operations and morale. The exhibit aims to present a human perspective on contemporary military history, emphasizing the personal narratives and sacrifices of those who served alongside their comrades.” [DEA News]
