The founder of the capital's cadet movement is the Moscow Department of Education

The capital's Cadet movement is developing thanks to the city project of pre-professional education. Classes for future cadets were organized in 2015. Since its founding, the movement has been actively developing. Moscow schools strongly support the Cadet movement. At the time it began, about seventy classes were created, but by 2018, their number exceeded 170. This indicates its great popularity among young people.

The organizers say that the parade “The connection between generations will not be interrupted” should be primarily educational and educational in nature for its participants. The cadets also count on the support of the audience. During the celebration, it is planned to sing the Moscow anthem by all those present. That is, if twenty thousand people start singing at the same time, it will become a truly grandiose event in the capital. According to tradition, they plan to end the parade with the launch of doves, and, of course, laying flowers at the “Fire of Memory and Glory”

The capital's cadet movement is growing every year

Today there are about fifteen thousand cadets in the capital. Most of them study in special classes. It is quite difficult to get there, as a very careful selection is carried out. At the appointment, not only physical fitness and health are taken into account. In addition to good physical characteristics, the cadet must excel in learning. Also important is the child’s clear professional orientation.

In the future, cadets will be able to devote themselves to a military career or work in government enterprises. Recruitment is carried out starting from the seventh grade. In the current academic year, the competition for cadet classes was very large. Three and a half thousand people applied for one place. Every year, young defenders of the Motherland confirm their high status. For example, the winners of the federal stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren were the participants of the capital’s cadet classes. And according to the GTO standards, 4,600 cadets received gold and silver insignia. Thanks to such high achievements, the size of the cadet corps increases every year.

The parade of the cadet movement “The connection between generations will not be interrupted!”, dedicated to the 73rd anniversary of the Great Victory, began exactly at noon. Before this, its participants attended the interactive lesson “History of Victory” at the Victory Museum.

More than 2.5 thousand cadets marched in parade formation along the paving stones of Poklonnaya Hill. The State Flag of Russia, the flag of Moscow and the flag of the Moscow cadet movement, presented to the cadets by the Mayor of Moscow and illuminated by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill, were brought to the square. For the first time at the parade, cadets carried a copy of the Victory Banner, presented to them on February 19, 2018 by veterans of the Great Patriotic War.

Participants of the parade “The connection between generations will not be interrupted” were welcomed by the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin:

“Holding a parade of Moscow cadets on the eve of Victory Day has become a good tradition. Where the cadets are, there is victory! You express yourself brightly in studies, sports, and creativity. You actively participate in the public life of the city, stand guard of honor at the Fire of Memory and Glory on Poklonnaya Hill. Cadet parade crews print a step on the paving stones of Red Square at the ceremonial march on November 7, dedicated to the legendary parade. Moscow cadets represent courage and dignity, discipline and bearing, a healthy and active lifestyle, honesty and patriotism.”

Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill:

“It is with special feeling that I address you on the Day of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious. By gathering together on this day, you express your readiness not only to love your Motherland, but also your readiness to defend your Motherland, to follow the paths taken by your fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, who accomplished great feats and defeated a terrible enemy. By becoming cadets, you have already won an important victory - over yourself. You have chosen service to your Motherland as your ideal. I wish you success in this difficult and noble task.”

Chairman of the Moscow City Council of Veterans, Honorary Citizen of the City of Moscow:

“Our generation has gone through a difficult path; we have had to experience both the bitterness of heavy losses and the joy of the Great Victory. We deserved it honestly, we went to it without thinking about the fact that we were in danger of death. We must not forget what a huge price was paid for this Victory. Today, the memory of her unites us all, regardless of age, profession, or political leanings. And your sacred duty is to preserve this memory. It is the main strength of our country.”

The cadet parade on May 6, 2018 was marked by a particularly bright and large-scale event - 24,500 people sang the Moscow anthem in chorus, setting a record in Russia and Europe. At the ceremonial presentation of the “Book of Records of Russia” diploma to the parade participants, the Chairman of the Moscow City Duma, the “UNITED RUSSIA” faction, delivered a welcoming speech:

“Promotions like today bring generations together. The cadet parade brings together young men and women who plan to connect their destiny with serving the Fatherland. And the most significant guests of the event are our veterans, whose lives are an inspiring example of selfless and selfless love for the Motherland. I am confident that the students of cadet classes, schools, and colleges will become a worthy successor to the generation of winners, the pride and support of our state, and will sacredly preserve military traditions. Including songs with which our country has won before and with which we will definitely achieve new victories.”

The solemn event ended with the laying of flowers at the “Fire of Memory and Glory.”

In 2014, the Moscow Government commissioned new educational and sports buildings of the First Moscow Cadet Corps with a total area of ​​more than 20 thousand square meters. The corps has become the most modern cadet educational organization, which has no analogues in Russia.

Cadet classes carry out educational activities on a full-time basis from grades 7 to 11. The selection of children is carried out taking into account academic success, the state of physical development and health, and the degree of orientation towards further choice of a profession as a military or civil servant. The competition for enrollment in cadet classes in the 2017-2018 academic year was 3.5 people per place.

Over 90% of graduates enter universities in the Russian Federation, including more than 65% into universities of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and other law enforcement ministries and departments. Every year, Moscow cadets take part in all major city patriotic events.

Today, May 6, in Moscow and other regions of Russia, Volunteer Day was held for the third time - an annual tradition established by the Union of Donbass Volunteers.

In Moscow, Volunteer Day began with a gathering on Poklonnaya Hill, at the monument to the Heroes of the First World War. After the formation, the Head of the Union of Donbass Volunteers, Alexander Borodai, addressed all those gathered with a welcoming speech:
“On this day we gather together and remember those who fell in the fight for Russia and for Russian interests, for our Motherland. Those who fell in Transnistria, Abkhazia, Chechnya and other hot spots, and, of course, above all, those who died in Donbass. We also remember those who are still continuing to fulfill their duty there, our volunteers - and they are there. This is not just memory, but also readiness for action. On this day we confirm it. Russian volunteers will still be very, very useful to our Motherland. Great historical events lie ahead, and Russian volunteers will in the very near future play a big role in the destinies of our Motherland, our country. To put it simply, I want to tell you: “Friends, it smells like a big war.” Our country is in a difficult situation: there is a threat from almost all sides. If we fail to do anything, if we fail to shoot, then who will be able to do something? Since the times of Minin and Pozharsky, Russia has rested not only on state institutions, not only on the strength of power, but also on the spirit of the Russian people, who were and are now ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of their homeland. I am sure that such people are now standing in this ranks. You all are like that. We are all like that. So let’s gather our strength and be ready to act at any moment,” said the Head of the Union of Donbass Volunteers, Alexander Borodai.

After the welcoming speech, volunteers in a column, with the flags of the young Republics, began to move from the Monument to the Heroes of the First World War to the Monument “We were together in the fight against fascism.” Visitors to the Park greeted the heroes of Donbass, smiled, took photographs, and told their children who the volunteers were.

Volunteer Day is not only a holiday, but also a day of remembrance for all fallen volunteer soldiers who fought and defended the interests of their Motherland, defenders of civilians. Day of remembrance of all those who fought with us in the same ranks, who covered our backs, who ate with us from the same pot, bandaged us on the battlefield, and carried us to the hospital under fire. All those who were cared for in hospitals and clinics, provided with medicines and food, provided units with everything they needed, and helped remove civilians from shelling. All those who died, were wounded and maimed, those who still remain in service.

At the monument with the symbolic name “We were together in the fight against fascism,” an honorary presentation of “Donbass Volunteer Cross” badges to soldiers who took part in the defense of the Russian people in the South-East of the former Ukraine took place. At the end, the defenders of the civilian population of the young Republics laid flowers.

After the official part, a festive banquet was held in a friendly atmosphere, where comrades in arms were able to communicate informally.

Despite the cloudy day, the holiday turned out to be very bright and warm. There will be a Volunteer Day!
