We remember. We are proud!

The years of the Great Patriotic War are receding to the past. They were years of hard labour, terrible ordeals that Russian people had to undergo in and behind the lines. Time obliterates facts, events and names of those who didn’t spare themselves defeating our Motherland. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War the majority of young students and some teachers of Ivanovo Pedagogical Institute went off to war.

40 IvSU students, teachers and officers perished in the trenches of the Great Patriotic War. On the second floor of the 1^st study building there is a marble board with their names. One of them is the students of Ivanovo Pedagogical Institute, Hero of the Soviet Union Boris Sizov killed in the battles with fascists in 1945 while releasing Poland.

We remember! We are proud of them!
