Kovalchuk took part in the Letters of Victory project

Mikhail Kovalchuk, President of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center (NRC), took part in the TASS Letters of Victory project. This was reported on May 10 in the Telegram channel of the National Research Center.

In this project, famous people read letters sent from the front during the Great Patriotic War (WWII). Kovalchuk read a letter from his father, Valentin Mikhailovich, a historian, the largest specialist in the history of military Leningrad, and a participant in the Second World War.

"Ukrainian huts are beautifully spread out here and there, surrounded by gardens. In general, it's wonderful. And the fascist pack wants to plunder everything. It won't work! They're kicking him hard in the teeth, and now Hitler will have what he so diligently avoided — a two-front war. Soon he, the scoundrel, will be squeezed, especially from our side," Kovalchuk read an excerpt from a letter from his father, which he sent to his wife in 1941.

Everyone and everyone: Russia celebrates the anniversary of the Great Victory

In dozens of regions, actions in honor of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War were held in a face-to-face format.

On May 9, a concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War was held in Moscow's Zaryadye Park. Also, all visitors to Victory Park could receive a reprint of the May 9, 1945 issue of the Izvestia newspaper. According to one of the visitors of Denis Park, the physical version of the newspaper brings much more emotions than the electronic versions.
