Every year, on June 22, the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly holds an International Action of Commemoration dedicated to the Day of Memory and Grief, the day of the beginning of the Great Patriotic war. On June 22, 2020, the Action was launched in Dubosekov in the Volokolamsk district of the Moscow region and was held in an online format.

“Every year, on June 22, the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly holds an International Action of Commemoration as a sign of respect for the known and unknown heroes of the Great Patriotic war. Our aim is to show that the memory of one of the most tragic pages of the history of the XX century is alive.  Descendants honor the feat of heroes and remember the common feat of the peoples ' confrontation in the fight against fascism.

On June 22, 1941, at 4 a.m., the Great Patriotic war began - fascist troops invaded the territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. All the peoples of the USSR came to defend the country, fought at the frontline, worked in the rear, and restored the destroyed. The memory of those terrible years will forever remain in the hearts of people who lived together in a single country, who passed through all the hardships of a terrible war, who survived and won. The hearts of posterity keep the eternal memory of those who died at the front, tortured in captivity, died of wounds, hunger and deprivation - all who gave their lives for the sake of the Great Victory.

We welcome you from the Dubosekovo Memorial, a sacred place where fierce battles for Moscow took place. Thank you for being with us”, -  First Deputy Secretary General - Head of the General Secretariat of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly Svetlana Smirnova said opening the Action.
