Hey there! Let's dive into an inspiring initiative, shall we? This one's called "Road to Victory," and it's all about honoring our nation's heroic past. Youth, vets, and locals are hopping on board, sharing pics and vids of iconic spots – monuments, memorials, museums, and other historical nooks – on social media.

The movement first sparked in Karaganda, with Saran vets setting the tone on the importance of preserving historical memories from one generation to the next.

Among the early participants was Marina Alexandrovna Hoffman, a Saran resident. She stood by the 40th Anniversary of Victory Stele, chatting about the memorial wall behind it.That wall is a tribute to local war veterans and pioneers who served their country, bearing the names of 1619 soldiers from Saran who fought in the Great Patriotic War.

Tamara Alexandrovna Kucherenko, a Saran healthcare veteran, poet, and laborer during the Great Patriotic War, also joined in. By the Victory Stele, she wished her fellow locals a happy upcoming holiday, praising the hard work of laborers and the Kazakh people who played a crucial role in the victory. She even recited a poem about the people's courage.

The Balhash Museum also showed support for the campaign by sharing a video about the monument to Balhash war heroes. Erected in 1970, it's a significant tribute in the city.

Serik Sanaubayev, the head of the Karaganda region's Entrepreneurs Association, was another participant. He talked about a noteworthy monument from Kazakhstan's independence times – the Hero of the Soviet Union Martbeck Mamraev bust, unveiled in 2018 in Karaganda. Sanaubayev emphasized that this monument symbolizes the preservation of historical memory and the respect Kazakhs have for their heroes who defended their homeland.

These historical spots, reminders of the courage and selflessness of our fellow Kazakhs during the war years, have become gathering points, fostering a shared historical understanding among residents.

While there's no specific list of sites included in the campaign, these spots are vital cultural and historical landmarks in Kazakhstan. They often include monuments honoring Kazakh soldiers, museums dedicated to the war effort, and places associated with wartime industrial and logistical efforts. Kazakhstan attaches significant importance to remembering its role in the victory over Nazi Germany by preserving these sites and educating future generations about the history. So next time you're scrolling through social media, keep an eye out for these snapshot stories of our nation's past!
