Каждый ноябрь миллионы людей в странах Содружества носят простой красный мак. Почему? 🌺 В 1915 году канадский врач подполковник Джон Маккрей написал стихотворение «На полях Фландрии» после того, как увидел маки, растущие на полях сражений, где погибли солдаты. Ярко-красные цветы мака стали мощным символом памяти. Сегодня люди в 🇬🇧 Великобритании, 🇨🇦 Канаде, 🇦🇺 Австралии, 🇳🇿 Новой Зеландии и по всему Содружеству носят маки, чтобы вспомнить всех тех, кто служил и жертвовал собой в конфликтах, а также почтить ветеранов, которые продолжают служить своим сообществам. Хотя маки появились во время Первой мировой войны, они до сих пор символизируют память обо всех конфликтах — от Первой и Второй мировой войны до сегодняшних миротворческих миссий по всему миру. Будь то в Лондоне, Оттаве, Канберре, Веллингтоне или в Москве, этот маленький красный цветок несёт одно и то же послание. Мы помним. Мы чтим. Мы надеемся на мир. #LestWeForget#RemembrancePoppy

Сегодня мы отмечаем Воскресенье памяти и чтим память погибших в Первой и Второй мировых войнах и последующих военных конфликтах. Ежегодная церемония происходит у Кенотафа – памятника неизвестному солдату на улице Уайтхолл в Лондоне, а в Москве служба прошла в англиканской церкви святого Андрея. Временный поверенный в делах Великобритании Том Додд выразил свое почтение в Москве. Мы всегда будем помнить подвиг каждого, кто сражался в войне. #LestWeForget

🕯️Посол Великобритании в России Найджел Кейси возложил цветы к памятнику Героям Сопротивления в концлагерях и гетто. Холокост остаётся одним из самых мрачных пятен в истории человечества. Отмечая День памяти жертв Холокоста, мы смотрим правде в глаза, потому что память — первая защита от отрицания, искажения и предрассудков. Вместе мы обращаемся к прошлому и противостоим антисемитизму, где бы он ни проявлялся. И делаем всё, чтобы слова «никогда снова» оставались обещанием, которое мы выполняем, а не просто фразой, которую мы повторяем. #HolocaustMemorialDay#МыПомним#LestWeForget

#WeRemember 🌟 On January 27, 1944, Leningrad was completely liberated from the Nazi blockade. 8️⃣7️⃣2️⃣days of the barbaric siegeby the Nazis of our northern capital, which lasted for an unprecedented period from September 8, 1941 until January 27, 1944, and had devastating consequences, terrible sufferings caused by the German invaders to the people of Leningrad, finally ended. According to historical calculations, over a million people perished during those years, including more than 600'000 of children, women, the seniors, and also the wounded and disabled soldiers — they were dying, because of the Nazis, of starvation, cold, exhaustion and disease. #LestWeForget: The unbending people of Leningrad of all ages, men and women from small to large, demonstrated extraordinary Heroism and Courage and went through, with dignity, all the inhuman sufferings by the Nazi barbarians and their accomplices. Despite starvation, living under permanent bombing and shelling by the German and Finnish artillery, the people of Leningrad withstood the siege, defended their city and made their invaluable substantial contribution to the Great Victory. The Nazi criminals did not avoid accountability and paid a high price for the outrageous blockade — the enemy army Group 'North' lost over 900'000 men during the siege and was ultimately destroyed by the Red Army in the Baltic region, Karelia and East Prussia. *** ❗️The history of mankind has never witnessed anything comparable to the Blockade of Leningrad in terms of the scale of the tragedy and the extent of the suffering endured by people. The Nazis and their accomplices followed Hitler’s direct order — to hold Leningrad under a tight siege, fire at anyone crossing the frontline and seek to exterminate all the people in the city. Leningrad was completely encircled in early September 1941, cut off from the rest of the country. The only way to get in and out of the city was by air or across Lake Ladoga’s ice — the route across the lake came to be known as the#RoadOfLife. During the first weeks of the siege, Nazi troops and the Finns, who were holding blockade of Leningrad from the north, shelled the city with heavy and dense artillery fire, resulting in food warehouses being burnt down. As Leningrad received most of its food from other regions of the country, it immediately began to suffer from food shortages, primarily a lack of bread. Only 13 bakery plants remained in operation to serve almost 2.5 million people. Given those acute shortages of food supplies, there were strict rationing norms for bread. From November 1941, factory workers received 250 grammes, while children were entitled to just 125 (!) grammes of bread per day. Many people began to die of starvation. ❗️ However, despite all those inhuman conditions, the City never ever gave up fighting. Life in Leningrad went on and never stopped for a second. *** The Red Army tried to break the blockade on many occasions. Having fought multiple battles, with the fiercest combats taking place on the 'Neva Bridgehead' on the River Neva’s left bank, our forces succeeded in partially lifting the siege in January 1943 as part of Operation Iskra — 'Spark'. 🎖OnJanuary 27, 1944, the Siege of Leningrad was completely lifted following a rapid offensive by the Red Army, with the Leningrad and Novgorod regions being also liberated from the Nazi invaders. Wehrmacht troops were forced to retreat to the Baltics, where they were later totally defeated and destroyed. 💬Maria Zakharova: The defence of Leningrad has become a symbol of courageof the Soviet people. <...> The people of Leningrad saved their city despite incredible sufferings — they have saved it as their human dignity. That is probably the greatest heroism of the people of Leningrad, the greatest sacrifice they made for all of us — not just for the people of our country but for the world as a whole.

Standing in remembrance of those who gave their lives for freedom. To remember is to refuse indifference, and to defend the dignity and freedoms they died for. 面對今日仇恨與極右思潮再次抬頭，自問若為自由犧牲的靈魂泉下有知，會如何期望我們守護得來不易的價值？ #Remembrance#LestWeForget#永誌不忘

#Victory80 🎥Eternal Heroes — an RT Doc Film. Synopsis: The documentary pays tribute to those who defended the USSR against fascist invaders during World War II. The film tells the stories of some of the last surviving veterans of the Great Patriotic War, ordinary Soviet citizens, who became heroes in the fight against Nazism. Among them: 🏅 103-year-old Valentina Minaeva, a surgical nurse who served in three wars and saved hundreds of lives; 🏅 100-year-old Vitaly Kolesov, an artillery commander who survived the horrors of the war, including the Battle of Stalingrad; 🏅 98-year-old Nikolay Teplotanskikh, a volunteer tank driver who repeatedly rescued wounded comrades and miraculously survived himself. With each passing year, the number of veterans diminishes, with many now over 100 years old. Yet, their memories of wartime trials remain vivid. Witness the poignant recollections of those who lived through the horrors of war. #TheSovietSoldierSavedTheWorld #LestWeForget
