One of the largest military artistic groups in the country, the Academic Order of Merit in Culture and Art Ensemble of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, led by its artistic director and chief conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Hero of Labor of Russia, Major General Viktor Yeliseyev, places great importance on its charitable concert activities. The Ensemble's artists perform for military personnel and employees of the National Guard, veterans of the Great Patriotic War, participants in the special military operation, and their families, as well as for soldiers undergoing treatment in hospitals and residents of various regions of the country as part of patriotic and social initiatives. A significant event in the cultural life of the capital was the charity concert of the Ensemble, held on June 9, 2026, in the Cathedral Hall of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. This is the fourth charity evening organized by the Moscow City Organization of the All-Russian Trade Union of Education as part of the "Support Our!" campaign.

The Main Military Clinical Hospital of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, located in Balashikha, is a large multidisciplinary medical, preventive, and scientific-methodological center where centuries-old traditions are combined with advanced treatment methods. Highly qualified specialists work here. Every day, they save lives and return to duty the soldiers and employees of the National Guard, those who have dedicated their lives to protecting law and order in Russia, those who stand guard over the security of our country. Music plays a significant role in the healing of the hospital's patients. Doctors are convinced that music, along with modern medical technologies, is a powerful tool for the comprehensive rehabilitation of fighters – it sounds like a reminder: You survived, you are strong, you are able to go on. Music gives the taste of life to the fighters, helps them to recover, to feel the joy of life again.

A festive atmosphere reigned today in the collective of the Academic Order of Merit in Culture and the Arts of the Ensemble of Song and Dance of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation. By order of the President of the Russian Federation, for their great contribution to the development of Russian culture and the arts, and for their many years of fruitful work, the collective of the Ensemble was awarded the Gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation. The solemn presentation of the award to the collective of the Ensemble took place on May 28, 2026.

Among the many glorious traditions of the Academic Order of Merit in Culture and the Arts of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, performances for military personnel undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in hospitals, particularly in the Main Military Clinical Hospital (GMCH) of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation in Balashikha, occupy a special place. Every concert of the Ensemble at the GVKG is a sign of deep gratitude and respect for those who have fulfilled their duty to their Motherland with honor, and a reminder that the country remembers its heroes and believes in their speedy recovery. The Ensemble's team, led by its artistic director and chief conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General, and Hero of Labor of Russia, Viktor Eliseev, is dedicated to using their art to boost the morale of the soldiers, strengthen their faith in victory, and bring back their joy in life.
