Employees of the Administration of the PMR President, the apparatus of the legislative and executive authorities have been putting for several years the Bendery Fortress and adjacent facilities in order. The participants of the event were welcomed and admonished by the President. Vadim Krasnoselsky thanked the audience for activity, noting that the essence of the republican voluntary Saturday work is that everyone contributes to the common cause of the improvement of the country by choosing a working location for themselves. The President said that if you want to live in a cultured society and a well-organized country, you need to start with yourself, following the elementary rules known to all. The PMR President recalled that there was a neglected wasteland in the place of the park a few years ago, the improvement of which is ongoing. Its transformation is the work of many Pridnestrovians who believed in success, made efforts, put their soul into it.
The President recalled the Soviet voluntary Saturday work, noting that this is one of those traditions that deserve to be preserved. He said that there are many trees planted by him – both in adulthood and in childhood on the territory of Pridnestrovie.
The PMR President noted that the voluntary Saturday work is aimed not only at the improvement of the settlements of the republic, but are also called upon to unite the collectives. Another important aspect that the initiator of the nationwide voluntary Saturday work drew attention to is the participation of children who arrived at the event with their parents. A cultural and entertainment program has been thought out for adults and young workers involved in the park location. The kids were given the opportunity to ride the attractions of the Carousel Yard as an encouragement after work.
The PMR President like many others arrived at the voluntary Saturday work with his family – his wife and youngest daughter. They contributed to the landscaping of the fortress park. Oaks and paulownia seedlings were planted. The plans of the voluntary Saturday work included the rooting of about a thousand rose bushes. Cleaning and painting work is underway in the park, the citadel of the fortress and in the courtyard of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
