As the head of the city, Vladimir Arkhipov, said, residents respect the historical memory and treat with deep respect to people who gave their lives in the fight against fascism.
“Once a year we gather here, people of different ages and nationalities, to remember and honor the memory of those killed in this terrible war, and also to express our respect for the veterans,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Earlier it became known that the German government intends to allocate more than € 9 million for the rehabilitation of memorial complexes, which were erected in honor of Soviet soldiers in Treptow Park and Tiergarten.
