The "space - time" of the social world is not only a physical, social or logical environment for sociological subjects, and not even their General properties, since the expressions "social space" and "social time" are commonly used and, as it were, taken for granted in all judgments, in all respects. But it is through these categories, connecting the space and time of a particular historical period and bringing it closer to the current time, we are able to understand and feel the origins of the processes taking place at the present time. The space of hero cities and cities of military glory is a unique subspace of a one unique socio-cultural space of the South of Russia, the integrity of which can be understood only after seeing the places of memory of the people. Such an opportunety - immersion in the heroic and Patriotic history of Russia and the development of this past-provide tourist trips to the hero cities and cities of military glory. So the past becomes part of the present and contributes to the preservation of the historical memory of the inhabitants of the country. The authors believe that the completion of the construction of the Crimean Bridge not only expands the heroic and Patriotic space of the South of Russia physically and its tourist opportunities, will cause a change in the vector of travelers in the direction of the Crimea, but will also contribute to the preservation of people's memory of the heroes of the past years. The developed route (program) of the week Patriotic tour from Volgograd through the Crimean Bridge to Sevastopol "from Mamayev Kurgan to Sapun-Gora" for organized students and schoolchildren groups of is offered.

The Southern Federal district of Russia - one of the few districts, characterized by diversity and diversity of the peoples living in its territory, the centuries-old "neighborhood" which up to the present time promotes good relations of peoples in relation to each other. But how did the neighboring Nations come to understand that it is necessary to respect the traditions and customs of other ethnic groups? Is it always the neighborhood was peaceful? How did people come out of difficult situations? Answers to these and other questions can be found through active (during tourist trips) immersion in the history of their country. The development of the past contributes to the formation and preservation of the historical memory of the inhabitants of the country. The lost and newly found space makes it necessary to look differently at the problem of community, both in time and in space. The authors propose a week-long tour program from Volgograd to the medieval cities of Crimea. The road to the Crimea will take the 1st day of travel. The 2nd day will be devoted to acquaintance with the monuments of Kerch. On the 3rd day Genoese fortresses of Eastern Crimea - Kafa and Soldaya - are inspected. On the 4th day there will be a tour of the monuments of Solkhat, on the 5th day - in Bakhchisarai and Chufut-Kale (Kyrk-Er). The 6th day involves rest on the southern coast of Crimea and departure on the way back with overnight in Taman. Day 7 - the way through the Kuban and Rostov region and in the evening - arrival in Volgograd. This tour will allow tourists from the lower Volga part of the southern Federal district of the Russian Federation not only to visit the Crimea and relax on its coast, but also to get acquainted with new interesting objects closely related to the history of their region.
