Almost 20 regions responded to the governor's call. The opening of the updated memorial is planned for December. An alley of special ops heroes is forming nearby. Statues of 18 people who were posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Russia for the Defense and Liberation of the Kursk Region will be installed there: two natives of the region and 16 military personnel who participated in the liberation of the Kursk land: the motto "Together at the same time", formulated by Minin and Pozharsky, is expressed here like nowhere else. ▫ The Kursk experience is adopted by other regions. The region not only learns from its neighbors, but also shares its findings. For example, from the beginning of 2025, they began to create a line of anti-aircraft drones here. Now governors of other regions are sending experts to the Kursk region to study this practice. Hinstein offered experts for training at Bar's training centers, and free of charge.

Any major event must be coordinated with operational headquarters. For now, authorities are relying on local events that help create a festive mood without unnecessary risk to people.
