For six months, the search and research activity of Stavropolye residents, dedicated to the fates of soldiers, history of the small motherland, was the connecting thread that brought people together. The route of the marathon covered all municipal and urban districts of the region. About 25 thousand of Stavropolye residents passed through the roads of people’s memory. Over a thousand cultural and educational events took place in libraries, in villages and cities. Throughout the marathon, around 600 young Stavropolye residents took part in the research and local history expedition Heroes who defended the Caucasus and conducted work on searching materials about participants and witnesses of the liberation of the Caucasus and Stavropol Territory.

As a result of this work, the people’s media resource Through the Roads of War: the Liberation of Stavropolye was created.
