In Turin the CEREMONY TO COLLECT THE SOURCE OF MEMORY
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is working on the construction of the Main Temple of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It will be erected in the city of Kubinka, Moscow region, in the Patriot Park.
The organizers of this project plan to place in it small cisterns containing land collected from cemeteries where the burial places of the Soviet soldiers who died during the Second World War are located.
In this regard, the Russian Consulate and the Russian Embassy in Italy have organized for the day of December 2, 2019 a collection ceremony of about 50 grams of land where several Soviet soldiers were buried at the Monumental Cemetery of Turin.
