“The future memorial is not only to fallen heroes, but to all participants of the Northern Military District who, without sparing themselves, took part in the battles,” said the head of the city.

According to him, requests for the initiative to create a place of memory and honor have been received by the Ulan-Ude mayor’s office for a long time.
