"This is not the final figure. In social networks in groups that I lead, the campaign signed up 200 people. But the most asked question: I have the opportunity to bring more people? So, exactly how many people are gonna be there, it's hard to tell, " said Fins news the project coordinator Jan Saparova - a Russian citizen who lives in Germany with his family. "I watched the parade of the" Immortal regiment " on TV, I quite liked it. Waited a long time for someone to put forward a suggestion to build something similar here. Last year on may 9 in Treptower Park I came out with the picture of his grandfather. I was very touched by the reaction of people, and among them the Germans. They cried, shook my hands and thanked me. This year I became the official coordinator of this action in Berlin, " explains Saparova. Grandpa Yana - Alex M. was born in 1921 in the Chelyabinsk region. He met the war on 22 June in Belarus, where he served in the army. Grandfather was a commander of an artillery platoon. He went through the war, crossed the USSR from the West to the East, fought on the island of Kunashir. "My grandfather fought for all of our sister Republic. And This is me currently very inspiring. Our Campaign brings people together. We would like to emphasize that the war was won by the soldiers of the Soviet red army, That all the peoples of the USSR ", - says the project coordinator. "Immortal regiment" Is a public Action, which is a marsh, in which participants carry banners with the portraits of their relatives who participated in the great Patriotic war. The event is held may 9, Victory Day in Russia And other countries of the world. It was invented in 2012 in Tomsk, on the main street of the city then passed Over six thousand people, carrying More than 2 thousand portraits of participants of the great Patriotic war. In 2013 the Event was held in 120 cities And villages of Russia, and in 2014 "Immortal regiment" was held in five cities in seven countries. in 2015, the year of the 70th anniversary of the great Patriotic war "Immortal regiment" will be held in fifteen countries - Russia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Germany, Israel, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Norway, the USA and Ukraine And Estonia. "Immortal regiment - a unique Action, It forces people to delve into the history of the country, in the history of his family, and not just to watch TV. I was here last year I found data about the military way of Santa, thank you e-banks, which puts the Internet, the Ministry of defense of Russia And the search engines, " says Saparova. According to social activist, to her, as the coordinator of the action "Immortal regiment" more and More often turn to the citizens who are searching for their relatives who died within Germany." For some reason they think I'm a search engine, " She explains. However, while working on a project And really had contacts with search engines, as well as among them within Germany. "for example, I provided support to the Staff of" the Obelisk ", They did a great job on the restoration of the names of victims within Germany the red army, " says the coordinator. international memorial And archive retrieval society "Obelisk international E. V." holds 9 And 10 may 2015 at the Berlin memorial, Treptower Park action "Soldiers' names on graves ". In the process of the action through the alleys of the Park will be hung the leaves with the restored names of the dead. In Treptow was buried 7, 2 thousands of red army soldiers who died in the bloody battle of Berlin in April-may 1945. Permission to conduct the action was received from the Senate of Berlin, It takes place with the assistance of the Russian Embassy in Germany. The main issues that arise for those who expressed the desire to participate in the action " Immortal regiment ", related to organizational aspects. "citizens ask the question, what portraits to bring banners, where you can print them out. The most expensive thing in this affair was the handle for the banner. Good polished wooden wand is in Germany, as fifty percent transparency, " laughs Saparova. law enforcement agencies to the idea of procession reacted positively." We applied a month ago. We were invited to an interview And explained that if in truth it is about the coming of relatives And friends, the request could not be served, " says the coordinator. in her expressions, may 9, in Treptow Park will host numerous events, among them the official laying of wreaths And six more big rallies. "I, as the organizer, a little worried about the lack of danger. We're out of politics, And Victory Day is a public holiday, when we have nothing to share. But I asked you not to bring school classes, although I had a few applications. The kids wanted to read poetry. Good idea, But We're going for the 1st time - will see what happens, " says Saparova. "They called me 1 citizen, who asked if He could participate in the action with a portrait of his grandfather, who fought in the SS. He stated: you know, Grandpa was just a soldier, He was doing private duty. I told him: you read our leaflet - there is no doubt it is written that it was dedicated to the veterans-winners, " says Saparova. "I saw not So long ago a survey on television - only 17% of Germans now believe that Germany was liberated by the USSR. Others think that the war was won by the Americans. It is a response to the question, why do I need This And why am I doing this, " emphasizes project coordinator.
