Yabloko participated in the “Returning the Names” action dedicated to the memory of victims of Stalinist political repression of 1930 – 1953
Press Release, 29.10.2021
Leaders, members and supporters of the Yabloko party took part in the action “Returning the Names” and read out the names of citizens shot during the Great Terror 1936-1938 and Stalinist repressions of 1930 – 1953. The action in memory of the victims of political repression has been annually organised by the Memorial human rights group since 2007. The action took place at the Solovetsky Stone monument in Moscow and gathered hundreds of people. The Solovetsky Stone in Moscow is one of the most significant monuments to the victims of political repression killed in Joseph Stalin’s period, 1930 – 1953. The stone was brought to Moscow from the territory of the former Solovetsky Camp, which became the symbol of the GULAG.
This year the action is being held online due to COVID restrictions. Everyone can follow the link and get three names of victims of repression, which he/she can read out on camera and publish on social networks.
