Fundraising fairs supporting troops taking part in Russia’s special military operation are being held in 1,500 schools across Russia. On October 17, representatives of Russia’s Ministry of Education and the People’s Front visited a fair at School No. 444 in Moscow.
The school community’s initiative to raise funds for troops has become a nationwide campaign. Parents and pupils also took part in the fair.
Igor Yurgin, director of the Ministry of Education’s Department of State Policy for Upbringing, Additional Education and Children’s Recreation, said the fairs help children understand that they are contributing to a shared effort.
