Action Immortal regiment this year will be held in Moscow for 4 time. For the first time Immortal regiment was held in Tomsk city 2012 year. In Moscow, the first march was held in 2013 year. The most widespread was the march Immortal Shelf in 2015 year. AT 15 I was also able to go to the march participants.

It was an unforgettable experience. It is difficult to say how many people participated in the action, but we can say for sure, that all the Tverskaya street was filled with people, whose relatives participated in the Great Patriotic War. We do not think ordinary days, What really happened in 45 year. Of course, victory, salvation and pride – All these feelings are present. But that, that is, the participants of the war in every family, that destroyed millions of destinies, that the war affected the fate of not only the country, but almost every family, It goes by the wayside.

On the same day understanding comes – millions with photos of relatives. There is a feeling, that not only the grandchildren are in the ranks, but they, whose photos are, also invisibly involved in the action.

Photos Immortal Shelf is in the network. They are quite a lot and this photo of participants, journalists, tourists. I also decided to lay out a small selection of photos from the action 15 of the year.

by the way, of tourists – personally I saw the shocked faces of tourists from the United States, who stood next to me. One of them asked – what, Is it possible that so many people fought relatives or in some way involved in the war? And remember this?

I had to answer: – Yes. and it is only a small part of Muscovites, relatives who participated in World War II. And yes, remember – because everything in the USSR died according to the latest data 27 million people or nearly 14 percent of the total population. These percentages of Americans here and finished off. They have stood, and looked at people, which moved past them.

Spread a small selection of photos:
