Learning about Heroism and Simple Life
In July a group of foreign students studying at preparatory faculty for foreign students attended a memorial complex. The students were excited by what they have seen as they realized the scale and significance of the Kursk Battle during World War II, which took place near the village of Prokhorovka. The visitors were strongly impressed by a sculptural composition dedicated to the famous tank battle, аs well as columns listing the names of warriors, who died on the field of Prokhorovka.
The group also visited in a regional ethnographic park in a picturesque location of Prokhorovka district. The tour guide told about the life, customs and traditions of local peasants. The foreigners could see for themselves the way simple Russian people used to live, being both hardworking but good at decorating their houses. And of course, no one could not stay in the park without bathing in the spring water and swimming in crystal clear water of the pond.
