The ‘Immortal Regiment’ march will be held on the Victory Day in Moscow and other Russian cities and towns and abroad.
The mass patriotic action will be held in the traditional full-time format for the first time after the pandemic, although in some areas it will be staged on line because of the epidemic situation or subject to safety considerations.
The march where people go in the streets with portraits of their nearest and dearest participating in the Great Patriotic War is being held in Russia on May 9 since 2012. The event was online in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The immortal regiment takes place in over 70 countries worldwide, including Venezuela, China, France, Serbia, Macedonia, India, Kyrgyz Republic and all other former Soviet Union countries.

The ceremony was first held in China in 2016, with people gathering at Beijing’s Nanguan park.“The fact that we are here today proves we remember our history – in the 21st century this is especially crucial and every year becomes more and more important. We, those living today, received this memory from the hands of our fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and we should carefully pass it to the new generations and ensure they will pass this memory on,” Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov noted, speaking to the participants of the event.
“My grandfather took part in the war, he fought in the Far East as part of the 88th Separate Rifle Brigade, he was a battalion commander,” she said.
