Connecting Generations: Rosneft Organises Events for Veterans in Regions of Its Operations

Ahead of the International Day of Older Persons, Rosneft's subsidiary enterprises organised a series of cultural, sporting and educational events dedicated to veterans and representatives of the older generation.

Samotlorneftegaz brought together over 500 veterans from Samotlor and representatives of civil society organisations from Nizhnevartovsk in Yugra. A concert programme featuring performances by artists, as well as creative and interactive zones, has been organised for the guests. At the Song Club, music lovers performed well-known songs accompanied by the guitar. The visitors took souvenir photos in the photo area, which was designed to resemble the interior of a Soviet flat.

The staff at Orenburgneft organised cultural and leisure activities for over 650 veterans from Sorochinsk, Buzuluk, Buguruslan and Orenburg. A programme of concerts by regional artistic groups, performances by local drama theatres, congratulatory messages and commemorative gifts had been organised for them. Physically active veterans also took part in the Energy of the Forest run and the Autumn with Sports online marathon.

Kharampurneftegaz organised a tribute to veterans of labour, at which representatives of the older generation shared their memories of the exploration and development of Siberia's mineral resources with their younger colleagues in Yamal. In turn, the enterprise's younger employees spoke about the innovations currently being used at the fields. The event ended with an engaging quiz on folk traditions.

Volunteers from SevKomNeftegaz organised a meeting for the recipients of care at the Harmony social services centre in Gubkinsky. A workshop on making scented sachets and a tea ceremony involving the tasting of various types of tea were organised for the elderly.

Veterans of the Angarsk Petrochemical Company in the Irkutsk Region were invited to the Angara recreation centre. The staff organised an eventful programme for their senior colleagues, featuring a performance by the Siberian Cossacks ensemble, as well as creative, entertainment and sporting activities. The former petrochemical workers were able to enjoy the natural beauty of their home region and spend time with colleagues and like-minded people.

Rosneft's Research and Design Institutes in Ufa organised a cultural entertainment programme for 200 elderly guests at the Bashkortostan State Concert Hall. A theatre production based on the literary works of A.S. Pushkin became the special feature of the programme.

The Kuibyshev Oil Refinery invited over 300 veterans to the Samara State Philharmonic Hall, where Honoured Artists and local performing groups provided entertainment for them.

Volunteers from the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery organised an outdoor celebration for 200 senior citizens. Veterans of the refinery and local community organisations who have made a significant contribution to the development of oil refining in the region were celebrated in a festive atmosphere. The programme focused on active longevity and included recreational exercises and workshops on making vitamin beverages. A mini-concert featuring live performances of songs accompanied by the accordion served as a musical gift.

The Saratov Oil Refinery once again hosted its Day of Kindness and Respect. Former factory workers who have been married for 50 years or more and who are celebrating wedding anniversaries this year were presented with valuable gifts. The festive atmosphere was created by performances from the refinery staff - the winners of the Energy of Talent corporate competition - as well as a performance by the company's Russian Folk Choir and the city's finest artistic groups.

Staff at RN-Tuapse Sea Terminal organised a trip to the local theatre for veterans. As part of the Platform for Good Deeds corporate programme, enterprise's volunteers also organised a Big Bingo game for older people as part of the town's celebrations to mark the Day of Older Persons.

Preserving generational succession and showing respect for the work of veterans are an important part of Rosneft's social policy. Meetings with experienced professionals enable young oil industry specialists to learn best practices and strengthen the Company's corporate traditions.
