This year, over five thousand students from different parts of Russia will take part in the Far Eastern Salmon Putin 2025, contributing to ensuring the country’s food security. This is reported by the all-Russian public organization “Russian Student Groups” (RSO).
According to Mikhail Kiselyov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Chairman of the Board of the Russian Academy of Sciences, interest in working for Putin among young people is steadily growing. Students from various regions of the country come to the Far East to take part in large-scale fish harvesting.
In the summer of 2025, the RSO plans to organize two All-Russian and more than twenty interregional labor projects on Lososevaya Putina, which will attract more than five thousand students. In the run-up to Putin’s, a number of events are planned aimed at preparing and sharing experiences between the participants. One of the key events will be the III All-Russian Forum of Putin’s student groups “Fish of your Dreams”, which will be held from March 20 to 23 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The forum will provide an opportunity for participants of Putin’s teams and industry experts to exchange experiences, knowledge and ideas, as well as visit fish processing enterprises in the Kamchatka Territory. Pavel Shaikin, Deputy head of the agricultural department of the Central Staff of the Russian Federation for the Putin direction, notes that holding the forum in Kamchatka will allow students to get to know enterprises and their managers directly, as well as improve their professional skills.
In the spring, the interregional labor project “Aino” will start in the village of Ozerskoye in the Sakhalin region, in which 80 students will take part. They will work at the Kirov RC LLC from April to early June. In the summer, two major All–Russian labor projects will be organized for Putin’s detachments in Kamchatka – The Edge of the World (held for the second time) and The Power of the East (for the first time). These projects will provide 600 students with the opportunity to receive free vocational training in the working professions necessary to work at fish processing plants. In addition, more than 20 interregional and regional labor projects will be implemented in the Far Eastern regions during the summer.
In 2024, more than four thousand students from 60 regions of Russia have already gained work experience at fish processing plants in Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin Oblast and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug as part of 17 Putin labor projects.
