Ambassador Kudashev addressed the audience with the following remarks:
"Dear compatriots, dear friends,
Today, we gather to commemorate a truly historic occasion — the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Eighty years have passed since that spring when the peaceful sun — the sun of Victory — once again rose over our Homeland.
This anniversary is more than just a historical milestone; it is a living memory of courage. It carries pain and pride, tears and bright joy, remembrance of irreparable losses, and the triumph of justice.
Victory came at a tremendous cost — millions of lives, a lost childhood, a wounded land.
And the more time separates us from 1945, the deeper we understand the magnitude of this great feat.
Today, it is not always possible to personally thank our veterans — there are fewer of them with us each year.
But we, their descendants, are here — the heirs of Victory.
It is our responsibility to preserve this memory, to pass it on to future generations, and to defend the historical truth, which our adversaries are increasingly trying to distort.
This is our human and moral duty. For without memory, there is no future.
Living far from our Homeland, we understand this truth more deeply than anyone.
The memory of Victory unites all of us — no matter where we are, no matter our status or age.
It is our shared foundation.
In today's challenging and rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever to hold on to this internal compass.
I would like to sincerely thank everyone who joined us today — not only to share this celebration, but also to strengthen the living bond with our Homeland, our history, and our roots.
And today, as we remember those who never returned, those who gave their lives for the future, let us say once again:
We remember. We are proud.
Eternal memory to the fallen. Eternal glory to the heroes.
May a peaceful sky always shine above us — the sky for which they sacrificed their lives.
Thank you."

Со словами приветствия к собравшимся обратился Посол Н.Р. Кудашев:
"Уважаемые соотечественники, дорогие друзья!
Сегодня мы собрались здесь, чтобы отметить поистине великую дату — 80 лет Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. Прошло 80 лет с той весны, когда над страной вновь взошло мирное солнце — солнце Победы. Эта годовщина — не просто веха истории, это живая память о мужестве. В ней соединились боль и гордость, слёзы и светлая радость, память о невосполнимых потерях и торжество справедливости.
Победа досталась страшной ценой — миллионами жизней, опалённым детством, израненной землёй. И чем больше времени отделяет нас от 1945 года, тем глубже мы осознаём масштаб этого великого подвига.
Не всегда нынче получается обратиться к ветеранам лично — их с нами всё меньше. Но здесь мы, их потомки, наследники Победы. Именно на нас лежит огромная ответственность: сохранить память, передать её грядущим поколениям, защитить историческую правду, которую сегодня так настойчиво пытаются исказить наши недруги. Это – наша человеческая, моральная обязанность. Потому что без памяти нет будущего.
Живя вдали от Родины, мы, как никто, понимаем эту истину. Память о Победе — это то, что объединяет всех нас вне зависимости от места нахождения, статуса, возраста. Это наша общая точка опоры. И сегодня, в непростое и быстро меняющееся время, особенно важно не потерять этот духовный ориентир.
Хотел бы выразить искреннюю благодарность всем, кто пришёл сегодня — не только разделить это торжество, но и сохранить живую связь с Родиной, с историей, с нашими корнями. И сегодня, вспоминая тех, кто не вернулся, кто отдал свою жизнь ради будущего, давайте ещё раз скажем: мы помним. Мы гордимся.
Светлая память павшим! Вечная слава героям!
И пусть всегда над нами будет мирное небо — то, за которое они отдали свои жизни.
Спасибо!"

Статья Посла России в Сингапуре Н.Р.Кудашева «Великая Отечественная война 1941-1945 гг.: уроки и современность», посвященная 80-летию Великой Победы (полный текст доступен здесь)
Основные тезисы:
- Вопреки попыткам исторического ревизионизма, Россия продолжает уверенно отстаивать правду о том, что основной и решающий вклад в разгром нацизма внес именно Советский Союз, советский народ и Красная Армия.
- Красная Армия спасла от уничтожения и порабощения, от ужасов Холокоста целые народы Европы. Спасла ценой
сотен тысяч жизней советских солдат.
- Россия по праву вошла в круг архитекторов послевоенного мира, стала одной из стран-основателей ООН и членом ее Совета Безопасности, внесла вклад в разработку Устава Всемирной организации, который и по сей день остается краеугольным камнем международных отношений.
- Вызывает недоумение, когда сегодня в ряде стран те, кто запятнал себя сотрудничеством с нацистами, вдруг приравниваются к ветеранам Второй мировой войны, а в отдельных случаях и возводятся в ранг национальных героев.
- Особенно цинично выглядят попытки продвигать ложный тезис о якобы совместной ответственности гитлеровской Германии и СССР. Недопустимо ставить знак равенства между освободителями и оккупантами.
- Мы с гордостью наблюдаем, как герои современности продолжают дело их отцов и дедов, освобождая людей от нацистского гнета на полях специальной военной операции (СВО) на Украине. Задача денацификации – не просто лозунг, а крайне важная миссия, сопоставимая с подвигами героев прошлого.

🌟 #Victory80: During the battle of Berlin on April 30, 1945, Red Army soldier Nikolay Masalov rescued a German little girl — by risking his life, Masalov took the kid to safety from the zone that was under heavy Nazi fire.
This brave and honourable deed by Nikolay Masalov was immortalised in the worldwide famous 'Liberator Soldier' monument in Berlin. It was unveiled back in 1949 in Treptower Park, where over 7,000 Red Army soldiers, who perished in the Battle of Berlin, are entombed. The centrepiece of that famous memorial complex, the figure of a Soviet soldier holding a German girl, has become a symbol of the noble mission of the Red Army, which saved Europe from the 'Nazi plague', and of the Great Victory of the Soviet people over Nazi Germany.
***
In the morning of April 30, 1945, before the Red Army attack on a Nazi defence outpost, the Tempelhof Airport, Nikolay Masalov heard a child crying. Marshall Vassily Chuikov recalled in his memoirs: “The kid’s voice sounded as if it came from under the ground, calling out again and again a word that is understandable to everyone, ‘Mutter, Mutter’.”
Nikolay Masalov hurried to rescue the kid. Risking his life, the soldier crawled across a bridge over the Landwehr Canal, which was under enemy fire, and saved a three-year-old girl. He found her near the body of her mother, who had been killed by the Nazis during the shelling.
Masalov took the girl and moved back to the Soviet positions, which the enemy kept under heavy machine-gun fire. In return, the Soviet forces had to opened artillery fire on the Nazi positions.
— this is how Marshall Chuikov wrote later in his memoirs about Masalov’s heroic feat.
People all around the world knew about Nikolay Masalov, a humble Soviet soldier and a legendary #WWII veteran. But he never considered his heroism as something extraordinary. He did not like speaking about it, and when he did, he did not talk much:
💬 “I am a Russian soldier. Anyone would do the same in my place.”

🕊 #MartyrsForTruth is a special project dedicated to commemorating Russian journalists who lost their lives at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Since 2014, the Kiev regime has been responsible for the deaths of more than 60 individuals working in Russian media — correspondents, cameramen, sound engineers, bloggers, and volunteers. Many of them were killed not just in combat zones but also far from the front lines — in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg — through planned and targeted terrorist attacks.
#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime has tortured and murdered those who dared to speak out against the neo-Nazi junta and expose its crimes. Among the victims were Ukrainian journalist Oles Buzina and Gonzalo Lira Lopez, a US citizen.
❗️Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who stood up for the truth and remained committed to their professional duty — right to the end.
▪️ Darya Dugina (1992–2022) was a political analyst, philosopher, and frontline reporter. The daughter of philosopher and writer Alexander Dugin, Darya was killed in a terrorist attack on August 20, 2022. According to investigators, an agent of the Ukrainian special services planted an explosive device under her vehicle and detonated it remotely after several months of surveillance.
▪️ Anna Prokofyeva (1989–2025) was a frontline reporter with Channel One Russia in the Belgorod Region. On March 26, 2025, the vehicle carrying her crew hit a landmine near the Ukrainian border. Anna was killed instantly; the cameraman sustained serious injuries.
▪️ Andrey Stenin (1980–2014), a photo journalist with the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group, died on August 6, 2014, on his way from Dmitrovka to Snezhny in the Donetsk People’s Republic, together with Andrey Vyachalo and Sergey Korenchenkov. These journalists were reporting on the latest developments in and around Snezny. Their burnt-out vehicle was discovered only on August 22,with the remains of Andrey and his colleagues in it. Investigators later confirmed it had come under Ukrainian military fire.
▪️ Maxim Fomin, known as Vladlen Tatarsky, was a journalist, blogger, and militia member. He died in a terrorist attack on April 2, 2023, in St. Petersburg. According to investigators, this attack had been in the making since 2022 and was masterminded from Ukraine. Daria Trepova carried it out by bringing an explosive device hidden inside a gypsum sculpture to a meet-the-author event with Tatarsky. Tatarsky was killed instantly, and 30 others were injured. Trepova has since been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
▪️ And the list continues…
The exhibition is created under the joint efforts of the Donetsk News Agency, Zaporozhye News Agency, Kherson News Agency, and the Lugansk Information Centre, in collaboration with Alexander Malkevich, a member of Russia’s Human Rights Council, with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The initiative has also launched several international exhibitions, hosted by Russian diplomatic missions abroad.
