What is the "Immortal Regiment"
The main task set by the creators of the movement was to preserve the memory of the generation of people who lived during the Great Patriotic War. These include military personnel, home front workers, concentration camp prisoners, and children of war. In a word, all those who were directly affected by the events of the harsh years.
The organization unites in its ranks contemporaries who share different political views and religions. This includes representatives of many nationalities. It is not a commercial entity. Demonstration of one’s own civic position in relation to the people who stopped the war, as well as preserving memory in relation to the outgoing military generation - this is what the “Immortal Regiment” is.
Not a single political force of the state, enterprise, specific people have no right to use the idea of creating an association, its symbols for their own selfish or any other purposes. Such actions desecrate the memory of fallen front-line soldiers and violate ethical principles on which the organization's activities are based.
History of the Immortal Regiment of Russia
The history of the Immortal Regiment began in 2007. On the eve of May 9, Gennady Ivanov, chairman of the Council of Veterans of the police battalion in the Tyumen region, had an amazing dream. He saw his fellow countrymen walking with portraits of war veterans through one of the city squares. The article “Family Album at the Parade,” published in Tyumen News on May 8, 2007, spoke about this action, which was then unnamed. And on Victory Day, Gennady Kirillovich took a photograph of his father and, together with friends who supported his impulse, carried it along the main street of Tyumen. The next year, a large column came out with photographs of front-line soldiers; the event was called the “Parade of Winners.”
Two years later, such parades took place in more than 20 regions of our country. In Moscow in 2010 and 2011 at Poklonnaya Hill held the event “Heroes of Victory - our great-grandfathers and grandfathers!”, to which Moscow schoolchildren and their parents came out with portraits of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers. And finally, in 2012, they also held portraits of soldiers in Tomsk. It was then that the action received its current name “Immortal Regiment”.
In 2013, Nikolai Zemtsov, together with People's Artist of the USSR Vasily Lanov, for the first time held a procession of the Immortal Regiment in Moscow on Poklonnaya Hill, in which about a thousand people took part. In 2014, more than 40 thousand participants gathered there.
In 2015, RPOO "Immortal Regiment - Moscow", All-Russian popular front and the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation appealed to the president with a request for the passage of the Immortal Regiment through Red Square.
And so, on May 9 in Moscow, 500,000 people came out to the march of the Immortal Regiment, and among them was the country's President Vladimir Putin with a portrait of his father, a front-line soldier. Everyone had a feeling of the country as one family. It seems that the meaning and greatness of the Victory Day have never been revealed so completely and deeply.
The Immortal Regiment marched in Tyumen, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Vladimir, Grozny, Vladivostok, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Stavropol, Sevastopol - 1200 cities, 12 million of our compatriots.
Unfortunately, the march of the Immortal Regiment was not shown in the West, but in 17 countries thousands of people who remember the history of World War II took part in it.
How the action is organized in Moscow
In 2010, Deputy Mayor of Moscow L. Shevtsova took the initiative to hold a procession with photos of WWII participants. On 05/09/10, the “Heroes of Victory...” march took place on Poklonnaya Hill, in which five thousand Muscovites took part. Similar events are held in the capital every year. In 2013, this movement, like throughout the country, was called the “Immortal Regiment.” After this, the number of shares began to grow very quickly.
In 2015, the organizers of the movement put forward a proposal to hold a march on Red Square. The authorities of the capital supported this initiative and after the Victory Parade on 05/09/15, columns of the “Immortal Regiment”, in which there were about half a million Muscovites, marched through the square. It is noteworthy that Russian President V. Putin also took part in the demonstration along with residents of the capital. In his hands was a portrait of his father, a front-line soldier.
In 2017, a similar action in the capital already numbered 850 thousand people. It seems that a new tradition of celebrating Victory Day has emerged in the country and in Moscow. The organizers of the event assure that in 2018, over one million people will take part in the “Immortal Regiment” in the capital. This indicates that despite the fact that there are fewer and fewer WWII veterans alive, the memory of the heroes does not decrease.
