Clean Arctic volunteers will dedicate their efforts in 2025, the 80th anniversary of WWII victory, to cleaning the old battlefields and homefront facilities, press service of the project reported.
According to the project’s leader Andrei Nagibin, special attention will be paid to the settlements bearing the honorary title of City of Labor Valor, and those that claim this title. Volunteers will work on improving monuments, mass graves, and memorials.
During the WWII (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) there were serious battles in the Murmansk region. In 1942, the northernmost battles between Soviet and German sailors for control of the Northern Sea Route took place in the port of Dixon in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
In addition, in the fifth anniversary season of the project, the Clean Arctic volunteers plan to hold many educational events, showing military artefacts found in battlefields.
