On February 5, 2025, on the basis of the State Educational Institution «Secondary School No.75 of Gomel», on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, a dialogue platform with students and a meeting with relatives of the military intelligence officer, Hero of the Soviet Union, a native of the city of Gomel Semyon Davidovich Kremer – granddaughter Lyudmila Vasilyeva and members of her family – took place.

The meeting took place thanks to the close cooperation of the school with the state archive of the Gomel region, in the reading room of which practical classes and lessons of the «Young Archivist» club are held within the framework of the pilot project «Archives for School». The members of the club, based on the results of studying the historical and archival documents of the military intelligence officer Semyon Davidovich Kremer, under the guidance of the history teacher Anton Ermoolenko, managed to find and organize a meeting with relatives living in the Russian Federation. The ceremonially opened museum exposition of military intelligence officers was replenished with family photographs and documents donated by relatives of the Hero of the Soviet Union, intelligence officer Semyon Davidovich Kremer. The exposition also presented photographs from the funds of the Gomel Regional Archive. The dialogue platform «Dialogue of Generations. Heirs of Victory» was held in the format of questions that school students asked the participants of the event. The event ended with a symbolic act of gluing paper cranes to the stand «Cranes of Our Memory».
