17.02.2025

As part of Alabuga Polytech educational center's military-patriotic education events, Hero of Russia Rasim Baksikov attended a meeting. The aim of the event was to increase patriotic awareness and civic responsibility in young people.

The Hero of Russia toured the center for military-patriotic education, shared soldier's porridge with the college students, and addressed questions regarding military service, tank warfare, and special military operations. Over 150 individuals were present at the meeting with Baksikov, including college students and mentors.

"Instilling patriotism in students is complex and requires a comprehensive strategy. While activities like simulated war games and obstacle courses are valuable, they're not the whole picture," noted Baksikov. "I'm truly impressed with your teaching staff. I'm confident that their impact will be evident for years to come. Even a brief exposure to your program instills a sense of patriotism. Your graduates will become patriotic business leaders, dedicated to building a strong and thriving Russia."

Rasim Baksikov also expressed his admiration for the educational facilities, especially after touring the advanced laboratories at Alabuga Polytech. He was impressed by the state-of-the-art equipment available to the students.

Baksikov emphasized that the dedication to military-patriotic education at Alabuga Polytech is exceptional. He stated that he had never encountered such a well-rounded approach, effectively blending concise training periods with a wealth of information and practical exercises. He was also particularly struck by the popularity and scale of the paintball competitions organized during leisure time.

"Patriotic education is always important. History shows us that ignoring this aspect can lead to serious problems. While we may never achieve complete patriotism, it's essential that we work towards it. Just think back to the 90s when many talented individuals left for the West, drawn by better financial opportunities. Thankfully, things are changing now. We are not only enhancing the quality of life in our country but also training highly skilled specialists who are true patriots," shared a Hero of Russia.

Alabuga Polytech places a strong emphasis on military-patriotic education. Students engage in various activities designed to strengthen their character, foster teamwork, and instill a sense of responsibility. These activities include a large-scale paintball tournament, meetings with renowned military historians, learning about the history and heroics of those who defended our nation, acquiring first aid skills, and much more.

Additionally, members of the Kvazar youth organization, based at the educational center, played an active role in organizing these events.
