I greet you in Moscow at International exhibition "Memorial - 2011".

And our total debt - to remember about millions of solders who released people of Europe from enslavement at the expense of theirs lives. About civilians of dozens of states, representatives of various nationalities and religious confessions fell victims to Nazism. It is necessary to honor intergovernmental agreements about perpetuation of memory about died people during the Second World War, careful and worthy maintenance of their graves.
