The Duma decided to annually observe a Minute of Silence
On the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, which is celebrated in the Russian Federation on June 22, a federal Minute of Silence will be held throughout the Russian Federation.
The corresponding bill was adopted today in the first reading by State Duma deputies, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The norm establishes the annual holding of a Minute of Silence at 12:15 Moscow time - at this time on June 22, 1941, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov made an appeal about the beginning of the war.
“The general Minute of Silence of modern Russia will be an ever-living reminder to the world of aggression against our country and of the unbending will and courage of our multinational people, who did not submit to fascism and gave the world victory in World War II. A warning against the ambitions of Nazism and the revival of fascist ideology, monstrous in their essence and consequences in the history of all mankind.
A symbol of common and eternal national memory and sorrow for every dead and all victims of fascism, the unification of generations in rejection of aggression and Nazism, the protection of universal human values, the education of present and future generations in the tradition of goodness and justice, the values of peace and friendliness,” the explanatory note says to the bill.
