More than 110 states took part in the Immortal Regiment campaign this year. Millions of people became its participants. Over the years of its existence, the procession has become one of the main traditions of the celebration of Victory Day.

Neither the actions of Russophobes, nor the attempts to abolish Russian culture could disrupt the campaign. The organizers stress that the Immortal Regiment remains popular and in demand both in the former republics of the Soviet Union and in far-abroad countries.

In many countries, the list of organizers of the campaign includes local anti-fascist associations. 

After the start of the special military operation, European coordinators encountered unexpected difficulties in obtaining official permission to conduct the Immortal Regiment.

A difficult situation has developed in the Baltic republics. Soviet symbols were banned there, the Immortal Regiment coordinators were expelled from the countries, events were banned and large fines were imposed for participating in them.

The organizers of the Immortal Regiment movement thanked everyone who took part in the campaign.
