The assembly at the Yubileynaya square was preceded by a car rally, which began at “Diesel-Arena,” and led through Okruzhnaya and Karpinskovo streets to the square located next to “Penza” cinema and concert hall.

All drivers received instructions before the rally.

During the event, the lightening at the Yubileyana square was turned off, and the alarm was sounded.

After the alarm, drivers switched on their car lights to symbolize the nuclear flash.

Following that, the rally members released white balloons to the accompaniment of car horns.
