The team from YSU Faculty of History has been declared the winner of the inter-university competition titled "The End: The Contribution of Armenians to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War". This competition provided students with an opportunity to showcase their knowledge by presenting the indispensable role of the Armenian people in the victory of the Great Patriotic War.
The YSU team consisted of students from the "History" bachelor’s program—Tatev Grigoryan, Meri Barseghyan, and Arsen Baghiyan—and the "Caucasus Studies" bachelor’s program—Lilya Asoyan and Elizabeth Gabrielyan. Thanks to the knowledge gained at the university and their teamwork, they successfully secured the top position.
The competition, held at the Russian Center of Science and Culture, was also attended by teams from the Russian-Armenian University, the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, and the Lomonosov Moscow State University.
Yuli Tarakanov, a chief specialist at Rossotrudnichestvo, emphasized that one of the goals of the competition was to commemorate the heroic yet tragic period of history—the Great Patriotic War—which had a profound impact on every family in the Soviet Union.
Tatev Grigoryan, a member of YSU team, shared her impressions: "Such competitions are important because they strengthen inter-university ties, allow students to interact with their peers from other universities, and highlight the value of teamwork. Students from various fields, working together in one team, manage to properly organize the course of the competition. Participation in such events also contributes to the vibrancy of student life."
Lilya Asoyan, one of the team members, added: "It is necessary to thoroughly prepare for the competition tasks, remain focused, and be as attentive as possible during such competitions. It’s not only your own abilities and knowledge that matter, but also listening to and considering the opinions and suggestions of the team."
At the end of the competition, the winners were awarded gifts by the Russian Center of Science and Culture.
