Participants from Omsk colleges joined the nationwide blood donor initiative, dubbed "Code of the Donor: Defenders of the Fatherland" campaign.
In a notable move, the "Code of the Donor. Patriots of the Fatherland" project has been launched to increase the number of donors in the Federal Bone Marrow Donor Registry in Russia. This project, carried out within the framework of the "Patriots of the Fatherland" project, is a joint effort between the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA of Russia) and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, with the Russian Student Brigades (RSU) playing a significant role.
The RSU, a labour movement among Russian youth with over 20 million graduates since 1959, is mobilizing students and schoolchildren across 85 regions of Russia. This year, the action is taking place within the All-Russian Action "Code of the Donor. Patriots of the Fatherland" and will unite all directions of the Russian Student Detachments.
Marianna Vlasova, a participant in the action and a member of the student pedagogical detachment "Vozhatsky Pereplet", highlighted the importance of blood donation as a manifestation of civic responsibility and solidarity, and a means to strengthen the culture of mutual assistance and care in society.
Any Russian citizen aged 18 to 45, weighing over 50 kg and with no contraindications, can join the Federal Bone Marrow Donor Registry. Details about contraindications and the joining process can be found on the kmdonor.ru website.
The project aims to increase public willingness to participate in the federal registry by framing donor registration as a patriotic act tied to service to the Fatherland. This strategy is part of a broader effort involving public organizations and patriotic movements in Russia to mobilize citizens around important social causes, including health-related issues like bone marrow donation.
Last year, the action was held for the first time, with over 1000 students from 18 regions joining the Registry. Yulia Bulysheva, Commissioner of Student Detachments of the Omsk Region, expressed that participating in the action is a way to contribute to saving someone's life and a demonstration of civic participation.
Yulia Drozhzhina, a member of the State Duma Committee on Health and Chairman of the RSOs, emphasized the importance of explaining the process to children and the potential lifesaving impact of each new person in the registry.

Every year, approximately 2000 Russians face heavy oncogematological diseases where the only chance of recovery is a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. Finding a suitable donor is extremely difficult, with a probability of matching at only 1 in 10,000. By expanding the Federal Bone Marrow Donor Registry, the "Code of the Donor. Patriots of the Fatherland" project aims to improve the chances for successful bone marrow transplants.
