Greece to commemorate its WWII participants in Soldiers of Victory project


11.08.2020

The Mir and Omonia, international newspaper in Russian published in Greece, with the support of the Russkiy Mir Foundation, is implementing the Soldiers of Victory project. It is dedicated to the Greeks who took part in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

Together with all the peoples of the Soviet Union, the Greeks fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. The names of some of them are known, a tribute is paid to them, streets are named in their honor, monuments are erected.

However, the names of many Greeks, who took part in that war were still unknown to anyone except their relatives and friends. Information about these people, the awards that they got, and about the battles they fought will be published under the Archive. Living history heading. 

The project is carried out jointly with historians Agafangel Gyurdjiev (Greece) and Sergei Pinchuk-Galani (Russia), who work with data from the Central Archives of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Memorial OBD archive, and the People's Memory - People's Feat database.
