Putin called the EAO's idea of awarding medals to the parents of its fallen heroes excellent.

At a meeting with the head of the Jewish Autonomous Region, Maria Kostyuk, on July 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the idea of awarding military valor medallions to the parents of the fallen heroes of the special operation an excellent idea.

The governor noted that the region plans to present the medallion of military valor to the parents of the soldiers who died in their service. She said that a similar tradition existed during the time of the Russian Empire, when, as a sign of respect for the feat of a fallen soldier, his parents were given a pendant of his shoulder strap. In addition, Kostyuk noted that this existed during the Soviet Union. Then the parents were given the shoulder straps of a soldier.

According to Kostyuk, such medallions will be given to parents so that they know that their son will remain in history. She also stressed that this would make it clear the importance of the heroism of the deceased fighter for the country.

"It's a great idea, I totally agree," Putin said.
