Moscow schoolchildren put on a performance in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Young Guard

Pupils of the Vorobyovy Gory Educational Complex presented to the public a theatrical production of the rock oratorio Young Guard. Black January 1943. The performance is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the youth anti-fascist organization “Young Guard” and was created as part of the all-Russian project “School Classics”.

As the director of the educational institution Elena Melville noted, the teachers were looking for a format for a story about the feat of the Young Guard, which would resonate in the soul of the children.

“As a result, such a form of the lesson as a performance-lesson was chosen,” Elena Melville explained. – On it, the audience becomes direct participants in the action and, I am sure, they will be able to feel all the greatness and the simultaneous tragedy of the events that were discussed.

The performance tells about how the youth organization “Young Guard” was created, how many people it included (participants of the organization were boys and girls aged 14 to 18 years old – a total of 71 people), what the Young Guards did, how the guys destroyed enemy communications and communication systems, destroyed military depots, attacked the headquarters and military units of the enemy, collected information about the movements of the enemy and transferred it to the Red Army.
