dignity he received posthumously died on march 5. vladimir zhogov covered civilians, primarily women and children, who were evacuated from excitement. and today, during his speech before the victory parade, vladimir putin e. he talked a lot about the donbass about what happened there because of what it happened? and what's going on there? now what is happening there is that people are shoulder to shoulder, like the forties of the last century, are fighting with one thing in common. and this is what vladimir said about this. today, the militia of donbass together with the fighters of the russian army, they are fighting on their own land, where the warriors of svyatoslav and vladimir monomakh, the soldier rumyantsev and podtyomkin suvorov and brusilov, fought to the death where the heroes of the great patriotic war

fought to the death for the motherland for its future, so that no one forgets the lessons of the second world war, so that there is no place in the world for executioners, punishers and nazis. well, in addition, vladimir putin honored the memory of those who died fighting for the liberation of donbass and the president signed a decree on support for families who died during the special operation to protect donbass admission to universities admission without exams. let's hear what the president has to say. the death of each of our soldiers and officers

is grief for all of us and an irreparable loss for relatives and friends public organizations will do everything to surround such families with care, help them with special support, provide children of the dead and wounded comrades. the presidential decree was signed today . i wish the wounded soldiers and officers and thank the doctors, paramedics, nurses, medical personnel of military hospitals for their selfless work, for fighting for every life, often under fire on the front line, without sparing yourself. here is a minute of silence, which was traditionally announced today by the president before

as the president announced this moment of silence, he spoke about the human casualties during the great patriotic war and about the human casualties that, uh, unfortunately, have occurred over the past 8 years over the years, that's all that happened at that time in the donbass well and, of course, now during a special operation to protect the republics of donbass today we bow our heads before the blessed memory of all whose lives were taken by the great patriotic war before the memory of sons daughters fathers mothers grandfathers husbands wives, brothers, sisters dear friends, we bow our heads before the memory of the martyrs, odessa was burned alive in the house

of trade unions in may 2014 before the memory of the old men , women, children of donbass, civilians who died from the ruthless shelling of the barbaric strikes of neo-nazis. we bow our heads before our comrades-in-arms, who finger the death of the brave in a righteous battle for russia, a moment of silence is declared. well, today, as many centuries ago, as in the 17th century at the beginning of the 19th century, and now the strength of the people is primarily in unity and selflessness precisely in this

the cohesion of the multinational people of russia , vladimir putin said today that our different nationalities, regardless of nationality or religion, are now fighting shoulder to shoulder and covering each other from a bullet of shrapnel now here on red square , soldiers and officers from many regions of our vast motherland are standing shoulder to shoulder. including those who arrived directly from the donbass directly from the combat zone. we remember how the enemies of russia tried to use gangs of international terrorists, tried to sow, national and religious enmity, in order to weaken us from within, nothing happened. today, our fighters of different nationalities, together in battle, cover each other from shrapnel bullets, like

brothers. and this is the strength of russia, those who crushed nazism during the great patriotic war showed us an example of heroism for all time. this generation of winners and we will always look up to them. glory to our valiant armed forces for russia for the victory of ur which has developed since 1967, when a memorial complex was opened here near the alexander garden of the kremlin wall, or rather. to the unknown soldier, yes, he is lit forever the unknown soldier appeared at alexander

's alexander garden, according to tradition, there was a wreath-laying and flower-laying ceremony. vladimir putin, together with veterans and veterans of the great patriotic war, came to the alexander garden to honor the memory of those who died in the great patriotic war. and that, of course, was today. one of the most touching moments. well, now you see that a whole stage, uh, that a whole sea of ​​people gathered on tverskaya street already before the start of the immortal regiment, despite everything. despite all this weather that has now developed here, it is raining and windy. eh, pretty strong too. that's about 40 minutes left before the start of the procession, the immortal regiment. all tverskaya as we now see only the beginning of tverskaya street. this is how our colleagues who are along this street tell us, the entire tverskaya street, filled - it's probably hundreds of thousands of people who have now accumulated here,

but now we see just a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe tricolor in white-blue-red flags all over tverskaya but right now. i want to convey the word to our colleagues yuriy tatyana, who today works at the museum of victory at the poklonnaya quarry dmitry thank you, i will remind you, our colleagues dariy kozlovy dmitry chubarev spoke about the festive program dedicated to the seventy-seventh anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war. really. we see that it is raining now in the center of moscow, but we are sure that this will not affect the holding of the immortal regiment campaign. well, we'll tell you a little more about the solution. today's president vladimir putin signed a decree on additional support measures for the families of military personnel and employees of some federal government agencies earlier today. e, the document has been published and entered into force. according to the decree, russian universities will have a quota for military children who participate in a special operation to protect donbass; let me remind you, it will be 10% of the total number of budget places, according to each specialty or area of ​​training, and

the decree also states that within this quota , children, military personnel and employees who died or were injured during a special military operation will be accepted without entrance exams, but with the exception of additional tests, creative or professional areas. well, now about the action immortal regiment, it will finally be held in moscow in the format of a street procession, let me remind you in 2020 in 2021, the procession was not held on the internet due to the coronavirus pandemic. expected, that this year's procession to join more than a million people during this action, people carry a photo of their relatives who participated in the great patriotic war to print a portrait. it was possible for free to the center of public services my documents the procession itself will begin at 3:00 pm moscow time. you can join the colony at the exit from the dynamo belorusskaya or mayakovskaya metro station, relatives and friends will walk with portraits of the heroes of the great patriotic war along leningradsky prospekt tverskaya street

and the first tverskaya-yamskaya through okhotny ryad street , manege and red square, the length of the route will be 7 km from the dynamo metro station, the organizers recommend that participants have identification documents with them and wear comfortable shoes and do not forget a hat, as we saw it raining it is forbidden to take with liquids, piercing and cutting objects. about how the final preparations are going, how will our colleague alexandra suvorova tell you, together with the film crew. she works on the roof of the hotel national and now alexander joins the broadcast alexander greetings tell me what's going on there, despite the rain. colleagues greetings tan, well, this is yours to your list of necessary things that you do not need to take with you to the immortal regiment. i usually added an umbrella, because it rains, it doesn’t, but now, in any case, we have a point and the most beautiful and probably the windiest, so you can’t do without an umbrella, really. we now see how the immortal regiment is already preparing

the beginning of the action in the area i think tverskoy 8.10 houses, where the guy dolgoruky yuri dolgoruky. people are already standing there, they are standing with flags. until now, almost all of them played patriotic songs, even from here you can see from the roof that they came to look at their relatives and friends, and at our point you can also see how our colleagues work. let me remind you that russia 24 today will cover virtually the entire movement, how the action of the immortal regiment is going on from the belorussky railway station to red square, as colleagues have already said you can join it at the exit of three metro stations, these are dinamo belorusskaya and mayakovskaya, but now we see that the column is actually in the middle of tverskaya street. and this point , as i have noted more than once , is perhaps the most spectacular here today at the victory parade in moscow, the fact is that we see

tverskaya and manege manege square okhotny ryad , alexander garden, in fact, here at 5:30 in the morning from the start of work, our film crew was gathering military equipment after preparation, when everything was already ready. even the reserve was already here. let me remind you that only three, and the main parts of the parade, everything was prepared here from here. we saw how u moved, including uh, columns of paramilitary vehicles. this year, 131 types of weapons took part in the mechanized colony according to tradition, so the t-34 legendary tank, he was at the head of it. i myself am glad to have opened it today. foot crews in total, uh, 33 columns and 11,000 troops took part, but, unfortunately, we see that the weather is literally words, the non-flying aviation unit was canceled, it became known literally a couple of minutes before the start of the parade itself and at the end of the parade in the

alexander garden. vladimir putin laid a wreath and flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier, and the vicerans did the same. well, we are now preparing for the immortal regiment action. it will begin in literally less than half an hour and we will, of course, talk about what we see from here from one of the central viewpoints of moscow colleagues yes, alexandra thank you, we will remind you our colleague alexander suvorova was on direct line, uh, for about 40 minutes. even a little less than 37 minutes remain before the start of the immortal regiment march in moscow at 3 o'clock. it should start its journey on leningradsky prospekt and pass through the streets. e tverskaya, the first tverskaya-yamskaya across okhotny ryad street, as our colleague has already told, the manege red square and after two pandemic years. the immortal regiment will again take place in a live format. we will watch the live broadcast of the procession together with the historian scientific director of the russian military historical society. and mikhail is soft. he

's in the studio today. hello yes, mikhail yurievich , the entire immortal regiment will be a studio with us. well , let's start with the main event mikhail yurievich why do you think this action does not lose its relevance this year? that's what our colleagues have just told us on tverskaya, it already looks like a million people. my family is also now half a meter dynamo, why do you think that relevance is not lost, of course, it is not lost, it will never be lost. the fact is that this is a living connection of times, our past, our heroic past, our present, and this is proof that we have a future, a wonderful future, and even more so today the immortal regiment is going through a very difficult time. and when there is a special operation of our troops in ukraine , we see how new heroes are born before our eyes of this direct descendants of those heirs of those of our heroes whom we purged today, who won on may 9, 1945, you know their

feat is immortal these people those boys, who today in ours are fighting in the donbass for the donbass you see, these are the same real people, about whom we must remember to speak, and here it’s just, well, tears well up in our eyes when we see this is a living connection, a temporary connection of generations, and uh, of course, will never lose uh its significance and people will come out hundreds of thousands will come out. millions of people, moreover, all over the world. i am also sure of this not only in our country all over the world, because the feat that our country won, then our people. we defeated this nazi bastard, and thereby gave freedom to the world in europe to european citizens. they can live in peace today. it is only thanks to our heroes that they forget about it. and as you know in many cities, well, not officially, but nevertheless in europe they decided not to hold this action, they decided not to hold it. well, information is already coming in today, and here in madrid they held and, uh, i take hands in many

other cities who do not, but god judge , you understand, this is a really political moment, we will not pay attention to these political moments. we will honor our heroes. we are for we conduct ourselves understand for our generation, and all other people. they should look, and in fact, if i were in their place, i would simply be glad that there is peace and that today we are honoring those heroes who brought them this freedom, and uh, it will certainly be, yes and a in many countries in all countries. i am absolutely sure of this that to carry our immortal regiment, which is now underway, millions of people carry portraits. well, there are still some who do not yet know the history of their ancestors, who may be where it is you can find out now. tell well first, a lot of work has been carried out by the ministry of defense of the central archives of the ministry of defense. and so the corporation was an electronic archive, which , well, some time ago, digitized a huge array of documents. believe me, it's really not millions, but tens of millions of documents that

include data on the soldiers of the dead soldiers, well, the awarded soldiers. and this information is today stored on various sites in the ministry of defense here and the memorial in memory of the people of the feat people. uh, like, of course, volunteers who ca n't, but volunteers will certainly help determine how to enter this site. how to find the name of a relative, if, of course, this does not work out , such information, there is an appeal, you can contact the central archive of the ministry of defense. and there are specialists who will help to search already in additional other documents. well, here is the russian military historical society, which i also represent, but we are also trying, as part of our activities, to determine the names of e, and the fate of this or that another soldier who died defending his homeland. and uh give this name and give this information to the relatives, because today the relatives really need it. here you clear what is often missing here, also this living memory, about which we talked about the connection and when a person finds out how you happened, where it happened, and if

indeed, there are such moments. when it is certain where a person is buried, that is, you can come there. can you put flowers there? and of course it's a huge deal that, well, maybe even for many, the main business of life becomes when they are looking for their relatives. uh, our heroes or patriots of the patriotic war, as i understand it, were also repressed. yes? well, of course, it's just different different archives, they definitely exist. there are different information. and of course , we must think about our memory. here is our memory, it should always be, who forgets his past, as happens in some countries, but here he has no future. mikhailovich let me also hmm join the conversation. and tell me how comes from this work on the territory of the former soviet republics, because many died on the territory of belarus and ukraine, and so on. quite right. and when in 2014 we also had these ties with the belt of the movement of ukraine. now they are completely

torn apart, but there is belarus. here it is. the expedition, which, among other things, is organized by the russian military, comes from people from kazakhstan, belarus, but i don’t take it from our republic. but only the former soviet republics are here, uzbekistan is here, moldova is here transnistria and all of them. here you go, you know this is a great thing. you seem to be involved in the fact that you return this memory. they perfectly understand everything search engines, and there are up to 500 of them. first of all, these are young people from belarus and kazakhstan. we have very close ties with ukraine. unfortunately, both search ties and a scientific realist. well, i'll tell you, so in 2014 we were preparing a joint work on the great patriotic war, the belarusian part of the ukrainian part and the russian part of mikhailovich, we will definitely continue this conversation. we will be in throughout our broadcast. forgive us to comment on what is happening now in the city center and e, sorting out some historical aspects of our own, but we will ask for your help

now, let's move again to the center of moscow, another of our film crews. our colleague is working on the roof of the building of the state duma, where our colleague is watching the preparations for the immortal regiment action. leila alnazarova. she also went live. a leila hello tell me what you are watching now. colleagues greetings well, from our point of view, we see tverskaya street and you know, this is the procession from this point looks like the great river of people's memory, which will soon flow in less than 40 minutes towards okhotny ryad and further to the water of manezhnaya square , then will pass along the cobblestones of red square to ensure safety. everything has been done here, and here are the representatives of the national guard police. and if you see behind my back, then people are being formed. eh, they are so small, and the columns are done in order to avoid force majeure, of course, to prevent a kick. i also want to point out that

the capital’s ministry of emergency situations involved almost 200 people and about 20 pieces of equipment here today, which also accompanies the participants of this action . the weather was very good in the morning, but as you can see now, it’s raining, well, despite this, the descendants of the winners along the central streets of our capital it’s quite obvious that it is very important for them, it is important to go through with portraits of their ancestors today. each of them has its own story. each of them has their own personal victory, which eventually led to a great victory, one for all, let me remind you that the immortal regiment marched on the cobblestones of red square for the first time in may 2015. in the past, the year before last, but in the years due to the coronavirus pandemic, the action was held in an online format this year, and are held in two formats at once. and so the online format began at 10:00 am and more than a million questionnaires were received from different parts of russia and the world into

a single database of the online procession. and we don't even know how much yet, but the numbers are unknown to the information received. how many cities of russia in moscow will be held today, but this is an important sign an important sign about the fact that people do not forget about their heroes, and here i want to remember the words. dart rozhdestvensky, it's not the dead who need it. it needs to be alive. and it really is. so it is necessary. we need to remember and i will note that the immortal regiment is already far away. not only a grand procession - this is a nationwide movement that helps to restore family history helps to find out the fate of your ancestor and sometimes find a burial place. a fallen fighter is a great deed aimed at preserving the memory of a colleague. layla thank you direct communication was leyla nazarova and in these minutes the columns of the immortal regiment are formed at the exit of three metro stations - belorusskaya dynamo and mayakovskaya

near the belorussky railway station my colleague andrey shlyapnikov is working. he is in direct contact with us. andrey hello. tell me how many people you are watching right now who want to join the procession. hello, happy victory day, behind my back you can see that already a whole living river of people with portraits of their heroes is all over tverskaya street, filled and people continue come from the side, the belorusskaya metro and go from the side, and the dynamo metro is a huge flow of people. so i think a few more minutes and we'll be there . inside this living river, after 2 years, people are happy that finally they are not online, but they can come with their feet from bringing portraits of their relatives. and of course, and everyone is happy about this, and

let's listen to the day of this opportunity. and with what mood did people come here? such unity, such happiness, such pride, especially. if you give, tribute to the memory of our grandfathers, great-grandfathers. this very good. history. she needs to be revived. in general, i constantly participate in the immortal regiment and i am very glad that this tradition has been revived. uh, in this format. people carry in their hands portraits of their relatives who participated in the war. i also decided not to break the tradition, and today my relative is also next to me. and kalugin pyotr alexander and a scout, but fought on the leningrad front, performing a dangerous task on the front line, was

seriously wounded on the road of life, taken to the hospital after a long treatment by doctors he was forbidden to return to the front for health reasons, but until the end of the war he worked in the rear, where they worked at night and contributed to our common victory, but each member of the immortal regiment has its own story. a story about a relative who fought. let's hear what people have to say. i have this is my father, born 27 at the age of 17 in november 44, he was called immediately to the front and reached the kinesberg. here, then he fought with the unfinished gangs of bendera. order. this one received in the crimea in the forty-fourth under release. from kerch show with the marines. so,

crimea is like our native land. thank you grandfather. thanks to my grandfather for the victory and huge geography. people come up and tell stories about their relatives, where they fought. unfortunately, many died. and in general, these are the stories. this unity, this all unites people, and, uh, people continue to come here to belorusskaya square to move in one common colony. and you know, today, i remind you of 2019 , when there was also a hurricane wind, a downpour, but, at the same time, then 700,000 people, but it came, but took part in the immortal regiment. and today i have a feeling that, and today i will break the record, because well, people don’t stop going, but in order to take part in this, i’ll say this.

holy holy uh procession in the immortal regiment of a colleague, yes andrey thank you together with you , we are following what is happening in the center of moscow, we recall our colleague andrey shlyapnikov was in direct contact. well, here on poklonnaya gora we continue our conversation with the scientific director of the russian military historical society and mikhail myagkov. mikhailovich, before live broadcasts, we ourselves talked about search work about what is sometimes difficult, and recently it has been especially difficult, probably, to interact on these issues with, uh, ukrainian colleagues . unfortunately, a lot. and the fact is that before they were considered missing . that is, this is the man who died in battle remained in the neutral zone, but it was impossible to take away his body, because there was a continuous hellfire, these are people who were captured were brutally killed by the nazis in various concentration camps, which were tens of thousands along with their branches, and we are talking about the fact that today

more than two million people still remain unknown. that is, not missing already without well , unknown, that is, but it is clear that, of course, he died, he laid down his own, and his head for the motherland but here is to accurately determine the place where he is buried. well, what is called to know this person, and, to unfortunately, today it is not possible to do it quickly, but it is really possible, because the search work. she develops a link archive. uh, directly search engines. uh, you can determine the place on the map where this or that battle took place. well, for example, when i was studying, now in my student years, there was a springboard for search work, and on the ugra river the forty-third army, which was moving towards the thirty-third army along efremov, was surrounded. here is a local foothold. let's say three by four kilometers, and we are completely collected all the remains that were on this plane, then they already determined the area in the archive, where, like the lists, raised all the lists, who died there and went

missing all these names of more than five and a half thousand we or directly on the tom memorial, which today located on the river ugra modern technologies help in this work. here is the same genetic examination, for example, is it used yes certainly if genetic examination, but there are even opportunities, because computer graphics is also developing directly and technology. eh, here you can even a person. now , if it is found, well, a human skull, yes, the remains of a person, restore its appearance, during life, and accordingly, if we post it on the site, these or those relatives who know or some photographs have been preserved, they can determine, and then it goes, of course , genetically examination, that is here with the development of technology. and all this will develop. well, not only technology is needed here, of course, a volunteer movement is needed here. what is needed here is the desire of people to do this and to help. there is great hope here, both for the yun army and for the volunteers. uh, well, members of the russian endohistorical society and the russian

historical society, who will help this cause together. of course we can. well, most of the, let's say, unknown names, determine their names in recent years, how would you characterize the trend of this volunteer movement, there are more volunteers, er. it grows, of course, it grows and moreover it grows. eh, by leaps and bounds, let's say it really is. sincerely, there is no coercion here. that's how we often scolded or even in soviet times, which was not. there are really people here. they go and sincerely want to help. uh, let's say a person who is also looking for his relative would have lived. and ah find that last name, and we do our best. yes, in order to bury a person with dignity who died in his homeland. suvorov said that the war is not over until the last soldier is buried. here we must give memory to memory. here are our dead together with hmm with veterans and with all people with new stories new cases are found and criminal cases are started, new ones are found, yes.
