🇷🇺 The Immortal Regiment and Victory Day celebration in the capital of Siberia Novosibirsk

The Immortal Regiment is a Victory Day tradition - the descendants of veterans of the Great Patriotic War join the procession with the photos of their family members who contributed to the war effort. As the time passes the fewer and fewer veterans are alive but the procession is meant to show their lives continue in their children and grandchildren, and they are never forgotten.

During the Great Patriotic War, Novosibirsk played a crucial role as a major industrial and logistical hub deep in the Soviet rear. The city became one of the key destinations for evacuated factories, equipment, and workers from the western USSR. It rapidly transformed into a powerhouse of wartime production - especially for tanks, ammunition, aircraft components, and medical supplies. Novosibirsk also hosted military hospitals and research institutions, while its residents, including thousands of women and teenagers, worked tirelessly to support the front. In recognition of its immense contribution, Novosibirsk was awarded the honorary title of "City of Labor Valor" - a testament to its vital role in securing victory.
