Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Andrey Nikulin, one of the film's narrators

For the eightieth anniversary of the Great Victory, the SPbGASU staff and faculty prepared a documentary film dedicated to the heroes of LISI (Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute, as the university was then called) - students and teachers who worked during the siege of Leningrad for the good of the Motherland, went to the front, built defensive lines, strengthened buildings, helped in hospitals and continued to study during the siege of Leningrad.

The creators of the film sought not only to preserve the memory of those who showed courage and fortitude in those years, but also to show the new generation what it means to be a true patriot and citizen of your country. Speaking about the importance of the memory of heroes, we not only pay tribute to those who defended the Motherland with weapons in their hands, but also remind ourselves that the human spirit is capable of the greatest achievements even in the most difficult times.

It is crucial that young people know about the merits of their ancestors and understand how much the peaceful skies above their heads cost the defenders of the Fatherland.
