Photographs of soldiers who died in Ukraine will be carried during the "Immortal Regiment" march

“Of course, we focus on the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, but we understand that many years have passed since 1945, that there were other armed conflicts”, - Fontanka quotes Olga Baibulova, press secretary of the movement.

She clarified that if family members of those who died in Afghanistan, Chechnya or Ukraine want to join the action, they can “take a portrait of their hero and walk with his portrait, and no one will say a word to them, because this is exactly the same person who died for his country.

The initiator of the participation in the procession of relatives of the victims in Ukraine was the governor of the Voronezh region Alexander Gusev.
