Victory Day (May 9) is one of Russia’s most cherished national holidays, and it is always celebrated widely. Many events are held to commemorate the victory in the Great Patriotic War, which cost the USSR at least 27 million lives.
While 75 years separate us from May 1945, the victory is still very important for the national identity, which can be seen in many events dedicated to May 9. The most significant project in recent years has a goal to keep alive the memory of the war generation's great deeds. Every year on May 9 thousands of people in cities throughout Russia walk down central streets with portraits of relatives who fought in the war and who are no longer alive. The event is known as "The Immortal Regiment" (Bessmertniy Polk). It is also marked across the globe and last year it took place in 40 countries. Logo

The Immortal Regiment was originally a grass-roots initiative launched in the Siberian city of Tomsk in 2012, when people marched along the central streets of the town holding posters with photographs of their relatives who fought in the Great Patriotic War. The Tomsk event quickly became famous, and the following year the Immortal Regiment paraded along the streets of more than 100 Russian cities. By 2014, it marched through 500 cities. Two years ago the event became even bigger. Almost 500,000 participated in the event in the Russian capital.The Immortal Regiment is now a national movement, and it has the moypolk.ru website onto which people can upload stories of relatives who fought in the war. Currently, it has hundreds of thousands of stories that comprise the “People’s Chronicle of the War.”

The Muscovites never participated in the Immortal Regiment.
