Publicistic material from a social project In 2017, the “Names of the Heroes of My Small Motherland” project was initiated at the Kaleidoscope youth center in the Sovetsky district of Novosibirsk. The project is dedicated to famous people of Novosibirsk Academy Town. In 2017, Gorodok turned sixty years old. Many heroes who stood at the origins of its creation and made it famous throughout the world pass away, and the memory of them is erased from new generations. By preserving the knowledge and memory of the destinies of these people, we first of all preserve the valuable things that they invested in the creation of the region, and we form among young people a psychological attitude towards proactive goal-setting and result-orientation. My little Motherland... Each person has his own, but for everyone it is that guiding star that throughout life determines a lot, if not everything!
