title: Remembering Heroes: The Restored School No. 7 Memorial in Perm
perm recently unveiled a refurbished monument paying tribute to the fallen students and teachers of School No. 7 during the Great Patriotic War. The restoration was spearheaded by the Sverdlovsk branch of "T Plus."
Speaking to us, school director Tatiana Rzhanikova shared that the memorial, built 40 years ago on the school grounds, is a tribute to the 29 graduates and five teachers who lost their lives in battle. "The original memorial was set up by the school's late director Antonina Kuznetsova, aided by pioneers. Funded by the students' hard work in collective farms and state farms, it was also made possible by their dedicated paper and metal donations. It was initially placed at Builder 5, later moved to Builder 9. Even today, we continue to restore and maintain it. Our alumni take pride in preserving this sacred site, gathering here on September 1, February 23, and May 9."
This year, the memorial saw an expansion, fresh coat of paint, and new marble tiles while keeping its original charm, according to technical director and chief engineer of Perm's Thermal Network Group "T Plus," Arkady Spevak. Spevak, a former student, fondly recalled his involvement in the initial construction of the memorial in the late 70s-80s. "My grandfather, a teacher who fought on the frontlines, rests atop Mamayev Kurgan in Stalingrad. Reviving this memorial feels deeply personal. It ensures our descendants carry the memory of our fallen heroes. For us, these memorials fill the gap left by those who gave us the peace we now enjoy."
Last year, T Plus completed more than 19 memorial renovations within the urban district, honoring the soldiers who sacrificed for the Great Victory. Igor Kabets, the head of Permouralsk, emphasized the importance of keeping these memorials well-maintained as we distance ourselves from the war years. "As time passes, we must preserve the memories of the brave soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Our gratitude should grow stronger, not fade."
In addition to historical significance, restored memorials like School No. 7's can serve as community gathering spaces, create economic opportunities, and play a crucial role in cultural preservation. By supporting these restoration efforts, companies like T Plus help communities remember and honor their lost heroes.
