The action “The Ribbon of Saint George” was started in Yamal

The patriotic action “The Ribbon of Saint George” was started in Yamal. It is conducted in the sign of respect and memory about heroic deeds of our nation in the Great Patriotic War, about victims and losses that had to be endured for the sake of the Victory.

The start of the regional patriotic action was given in Labytnangi. This information was given to a correspondent of IA “Sever-Press” in the office on affairs of youth at the town administration. Volunteers and representatives of the administration came out to streets and handed around the main victorious symbol of the Fatherland to people. On that day they gave about 1500 ribbons of Saint George. Once again they reminded about the high price of the Victory, called never to forget about it and be proud of our native country. The young people gave the first ribbons to veterans of the war, helping to fasten them to the clothes. For the first time the action “The Ribbon of Saint George” was organized in 2005. People of different age and social status unite under the slogan “I remember. I am proud”. About 70 million ribbons of Saint George were distributed in the world during the time of conducting of the action. In Yamal this action will be conducted till the Victory Day. As a rule, all the ribbons are distributed very quickly, and people of Yamal carefully keep these symbols at home from year to year.
