Before the departure of the Victory Train, a solemn rally was held at the Kursk railway station, and the mobile museum traveled along the Kursk –Ponyri route. Footage of the event on May 7 is published by Izvestia.

As Alexander Khinshtein, the acting governor of the Kursk region, noted, many children took part in the action.

"We were driving along the route today and saw the remarkable condition of the stations, which have essentially been turned into mini-museums. And this year we have to put in order and repair two more stations, where heavy fighting also took place," he said.

A concert program was organized at Zolotukhino station. Viktor Shatokhin, a child of the Great Patriotic War, said that this is the third time he has participated in such an action.

"This is a very important initiative of the Kursk railway workers, which we have been supporting for many years. <...> This is a train of memory that runs through the territory of our soul and heart. This is a link between generations, a link between epochs," said Ekaterina Kharchenko, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education.

She stressed that on this day people of different ages rode on the Victory Train: veterans, participants of the Great Patriotic War, representatives of the older generation, as well as participants of the Unarmia, the Movement of the First, schoolchildren, students of cadet classes.

"Today, at every train stop, we laid flowers at memorials, we honored the memory of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. <...> The connection of times is especially acutely felt here on Ponyrov land, where every square centimeter of the earth is sprinkled with the blood of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who won for us, and victory, as it was then in In 1945, it will be ours," Kharchenko concluded.
