Russian Ambassador to US Anatoly Antonov took part at the opening ceremony.

Anatoly Antonov has reminded the audience that various youth organizations play a leading role in such social campaigns as Immortal Regiment and St. George’s ribbon and called them for keeping the grandeur of Russia in future. The diplomat has reminded that the whole world is celebrating a hundred’s anniversary of the Great October Revolution, which, in particular, incited the first wave of Russian migration to Europe and US. He has expressed hope that such forums gathering Russian Americans will facilitate reconciliation and unity of peoples.
