On the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, Kirov residents laid flowers at the Eternal Flame

      Today, June 22nd, ‒ Day of Remembrance and Mourning. In this regard, Kirov residents, the leadership of the region and law enforcement agencies laid flowers at the Eternal Flame, honoring the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, and all those who fulfilled their duty at the cost of their lives, defending the Fatherland. In total, more than 700 Kirov residents took part in the ceremony.

      In addition, the action "Fiery Pictures of War" took place in the Kirov region, which is held throughout Russia annually on the night of June 21-22. In Kirov, this action was held in Victory Park. Victory volunteers and other members of the public laid out an image of the Order of the Great Patriotic War from three thousand candles. Also today, at 12:15 Moscow time, a minute of silence will be declared throughout the country.

      Let us remind you that last time the laying of flowers in Kirov did not end in the most pleasant way. So, on May 9, 23 thousand Kirov residents came to pay tribute to the memory of those who died during the war and lay flowers at the Eternal Flame on the Green Embankment. The very next day, workers began collecting thousands of carnations in bags, which angered many citizens. I wonder what fate awaits the flowers laid today, June 22?
