"80 of them donated blood. Its reserves increased by over 36 litres," the Penza regional clinical blood centre told PenzaNews.

According to the head of the institution Tatyana Krylova, given the large number of participants, they were taken straight to the blood centre in order to reduce waiting time.

"It is necessary to note very good organization of the campaign. The donors had an opportunity to wait for their turn in warm premises of the railway station, where a mobile kitchen with tea and fruit was organized," she said.
