The feat of this unit is considered an important element of the common historical heritage of the region and represents a significant object for scientific analysis in the context of the Great Patriotic War.
The Role of the Competition for the Scientific Community
The international competition "Echo of the Great Victory in the CIS Space" is viewed by the organizers as a sustainable humanitarian platform that unites the scientific and educational communities of the Commonwealth countries around the theme of common historical heritage. Its significance lies not only in summarizing results but also in creating a professional environment where research outcomes become the basis for interstate academic dialogue and expert discussion.
The uniqueness of the competition lies in its emphasis on scientific integrity, working with archival data, and applying results in educational practice. The research recognized by the jury can serve as a foundation for future scientific publications, educational programs, and inter-university projects, giving the competition practical significance that goes beyond formal competition.
The participation and recognition of the works of scholars from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan underscore the commonality of historical memory among the countries of the region and demonstrate the relevance of international humanitarian formats. In this format, the competition contributes to strengthening academic ties between scientific schools in the CIS and confirms the importance of joint projects in preserving and interpreting the legacy of the Great Patriotic War.
