Yabloko to light 1418 candles to commemorate victims of the Second World War
Press release, 20.06.2024
UPD: We have to cancel our traditional “1418 Candles Per Each Day of War” action, since access to the “1941” memorial plaque, where we usually gather, will be limited due to preparations for the opening of the “Candle of Memory” campaign organised by the authorities.
Yabloko will light 1418 candles to commemorate the victims of the Second World War on the eve of Adolf Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union, 21 June.
The invasion took place on 22 June and lasted for 1418 days, therefore the party activists are going to light 1418 candles, one per each day of the war. Activists and leaders of Yabloko come to the memorial at Victory Park every year to lit candles by the “1941” memorial plaque.
The action will begin at 22:00. Participaтts will gather at 21:30.
