the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia launched a district visit in Kardymovsky as part of its Labor Valor of Russia initiative. A delegation led by State Duma deputy Sergei Leonov, joined by Smolensk regional head Mikhail Kovalev and Kardymovsky branch coordinator Sergey Svistunov, met with local workers in Kardymovsky district. Among the attendees was 93-year-old photojournalist Pavel Ivanovich Efremov, a well-known figure in the area.
The event unfolded as a New Year and Christmas gathering. Party members congratulated veterans, reflected on the year past, and outlined hopes for the year ahead.
Leonov expressed his recognition for the veterans’ stories and their contributions, praising their guidance and patriotism. “I was glad to see respected veterans and hear stories about their lives and work. I am grateful to our venerable comrades for their instructions, sincerity and love for the Motherland.We, through the LDPR, support and will continue to support our grandparents — our pride,” he stated.
During the session, a LDPR party card was presented to Sergei Vladimirovich Puchkin, a veteran of the Northern Military District and resident of Kardymovsky district. Officials noted that Puchkin is currently receiving treatment at home,raising three children with his wife,and remaining active in local public life. “Now Sergei is undergoing treatment and recovering at home, raising three children with his wife and joining the public life of his district. I wish sergei and our respected veterans good health and prosperity in the family. A low bow for what they have done and are doing for the Smolensk region and the country,” the parliamentarian added.
The exchange underscored the party’s emphasis on veteran welfare and sustained community involvement. The Kardymovsky meeting highlighted how regional political figures view veteran outreach as a cornerstone of local leadership and civic service.

Why This Matters Beyond Kardymovsky
Veteran outreach is a message of continuity and civic engagement. The gathering demonstrates how regional leaders pair ceremonial recognition with practical messaging about ongoing community support. This approach can influence public trust and encourage broader participation in local life, especially among older residents who have shaped the region’s recent history.
In the broader context, such events illustrate how political parties frame service as part of national identity. Community rituals that honor veterans can reinforce social cohesion while highlighting policy priorities that affect daily life, from healthcare to family support.
