Her lecture was particularly relevant during the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, as it explored how representatives of various nationalities coexisted, collaborated, built, and continue to build the present and future in the territories of Tsaritsyn, Stalingrad, and Volgograd at various stages of its history.

The lecturer emphasized that the idea of intercultural and interethnic cooperation was particularly evident during the Great Patriotic War. For example, the famous Pavlov House was defended by soldiers of nine, and according to modern data, even eleven different nationalities.

This unity lives on in Stalingrad today: every major event in Volgograd, without exception, is traditionally celebrated "by all as one."
