Petersburg: Schools can appropriate the names of those who died on a "horse"

In St. Petersburg, several schools can be appropriated by the names of officers who died on the deep -sea apparatus of the Lorsarik Ministry of Defense. The idea was offered by the widows of the dead sailors.

It is known that one of the city’s schools was proposed to be called the name of Captain 1st rank, Hero of Russia Nikolai Filin. The Ministry of Defense opposed the creation of museums in the memory of dead officers, reports Znak.com with reference to a member of the toponymic commission Alexei Erofeev.

According to him, the Ministry of Defense supports the idea of assigning names to schools, but against the creation of museums. The department classified the biography of the dead officers. Erofeev did not rule out that "children will go to a school named after Hero of Russia, but they will not know why a person has become a hero."

The toponymic commission will discuss this issue at the meeting, which will be held in December. Members of the commission are discussing another option for perpetuating memory - to name a square or street in a designed quarter in a suburb of St. Petersburg in honor of the dead.
