In 1969, a memorial to the soldiers who died in the military clash between the Soviet Union and China at that time was completed in Vladivostok in the Russian Far East, and the Putin administration emphasized the importance of the region and appealed to patriotism. It seems that the aim is to retain the support of the region.
Fifty-two years ago, in 1969, the Soviet Union and China at that time clashed over the sovereignty of Zhenbao Island, the Russian name Damansky Island, on the river that flows through the border. It is said that he died in the war.
The Russian government, along with the local government, built a monument in Vladivostok in memory of the soldiers who died in the war, and the unveiling ceremony was held on the 24th.
The ceremony was attended by FSB = Federal Security Service officials and veterans, to whom the border guard belongs, and each handed flowers.
"I think the monument was built in Vladivostok is very symbolic, and it's always at the forefront of homeland defense," said Yuriev, an FSB executive who attended.
In the Far East of Russia, such as Vladivostok, protests against the Putin administration are occurring one after another, and it seems that the administration is aiming to retain the support of the region by emphasizing the importance of the region and appealing to patriotism.
