In 2024, on the Day of Remembrance of Victims of Political Repression, Yabloko members and supporters visited the Butovo Firing Range, one of the sites of mass executions and burials of victims of Stalin’s repressions. A lecture on the history of the site, where more than 20,000 people were shot during Stalin’s period, was given to the participants of the trip with the support of the administration of the site. The participants of the trip decided to clean up the memorial site together.
