June 22, 1941 is one of the saddest dates in Russian history – the beginning of Nazi Germany invasion. This day reminds of all those who died in battles, were captured and died of hunger and deprivation. People grieve for all those who gave their lives to fulfill the duty of defending the Motherland. Eternal memory to the fallen heroes.
