The “Snow Landing” youth patriotic action has started in the Novosibirsk region. Two dozen students gathered in the Iskitimsky district to help veterans and lonely retirees in removing snow from their yards, VN.ru reports. Also, volunteers plan to clear snow from monuments and cultural objects of the city.
It is noted that many traditions have accumulated over the seven years of the “Icebreaker” squad’s existence. For example, the assignment of new titles to its members. This usually happens on the third day of disembarkation. After participating in the events, candidates are promoted to fighters and fighters who participate in the action for the third year, to veterans. Besides, there are also seniors, as well as those who have already finished their studies at the institute but continue to do good deeds.
It is specified that this year, due to the pandemic, the format of the action has changed. Previously, the guys moved from one village to another, stayed at schools and organized concerts. Now they are settled for five days in the Iskitim camp from where they are sent every day to work in different settlements.
