Greece makes up catalogue of Russian military memorial objects

Catalogue of Russian military memorial objects in Greece will be published in the nearest time, RIA Novosti informs. Russian Embassy in Athens has put the catalogue together and prepared it for printing, according to Andrey Maslov who shared this information during his speech at the conference of Coordinating Council of Russian Compatriots.

He has commented that military memorial council was opened at the Russian Embassy in 2017 and it initiated a large-scale inventory of all military graves. Such large work was conducted for the first time. This catalogue includes mass burial sites as well as individual graves. Diplomat has underlined that all of them are equal from their historical significance point of view.

The catalogue will represent an interactive map.

Ambassador expressed his gratitude to the compatriots living in Greece for their active involvement in memorial and historical activities noting that Victory Day is celebrated very widely all over the country. Immortal Regiment campaign in Athens was the biggest one in Europe. It was supported by local authorities and the Military Department. St. George’s Ribbon campaign was also well organized.

Moscow and Athens will celebrate two anniversaries together next year – twenty-five years’ anniversary of friendship and cooperation agreement signature and one hundred-ninety years’ anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
