🕯🎖 Today on June 22 Russia marks the Day of Remebrance and Sorrow. On this Day the Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. 27 million of Soviet citizens fell during the Great Patriotic War which lasted for 1418 days.

Eternal glory to the fallen heroes who fought for the Motherland. We remember millions of Soviet civilians killed by Nazis & their henchmen during #WWII.

No one is forgotten, nothing is forgiven.
