CPRF action in Moscow on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow. June 22, 2025
On June 22, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, on the day of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the deputy faction of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the State Duma, the All-Russian Headquarters of the Protest Movement, the Central Committee of the Lenin Komsomol, together with public organizations "Union of Soviet Officers", "DPA", "Children of War" and others held a rally-meeting of deputies with voters in Moscow and laying flowers at the Memorial of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Alexander Garden and the monument to Marshal Zhukov.
Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Head of the All-Russian Headquarters of the Protest Movement, State Duma deputy, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.I. Kashin:
- Dear comrades.
All over the country today, communists and our allies in the protest movement are holding memorial actions.
Together with us today, the sky is grieving and crying. Eighty-four years ago, without declaring war, fascist Germany and all its satellites treacherously invaded the territory of the USSR. The aggressor's army had 190 divisions.
Border Soviet cities, navy, railway bases were the first to be attacked by the fascists. On the first day of the war, Kiev, Minsk, Riga, Vilnius and many other cities were bombed.
But from the first days of the war, the fascists felt the fierce resistance of the Red Army. Soviet border guards steadfastly defended the borders of the Motherland. Our pilots and sailors showed miracles of bravery on the first day of the war. We will always remember the feat of the heroes of the legendary Brest Fortress.
A few months later, in December 1941, near Moscow, the enemy will receive a crushing blow and will be thrown back 250 kilometers from the capital.
Eight million soldiers died in the Great Patriotic War. And the total number of dead Soviet citizens is 27 million.
After the betrayal of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, our country went through hard times. But today Russia is finally starting to get back on its feet. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the winners are defending our Motherland again. And they will definitely drive an aspen stake in the heart of fascism revived in Ukraine.
Then the participants of the action honored the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War with a minute of silence.
Chairman of the CPRF Central Committee, Head of the CPRF faction in the State Duma G.A. Zyuganov:
- Dear comrades. Friends.
Exactly at four in the morning in the Brest fortress communist-governor of the Oryol region A.E. Klychkov lit a candle of memory for all of us.
Hitler set away only eight hours to storm this unique fortress. But Soviet soldiers defended the fortress for thirty days. The fascists then realized that they got into another war. The fact is that the German fascists marched victoriously across Europe, but in the USSR they faced the great will of a Russian soldier. Throughout the thousand-year history, the Russian soldier has proved that our truth, strength and will are more powerful than their impudence and treachery.
I draw your attention to the fact that that night the NATO and Anglo-Saxons dropped heavy bombs on our strategic ally - Iran. But these bombs also flew on our heads. In fact, the Third World War has already been unleashed, so you can't be careless.
Hitler, in order to make his huge gag, subjugated the whole of continental Europe. Today, the Anglo-Saxons pursue the same policy towards Russia. At first, they broke the contracts. Then they moved to our borders. Nazi regimes were imprisoned in the Baltics and Ukraine. Brotherly Yugoslavia was broken. They turned Libya into "nothing", humiliated the Iraqi civilization. Now it's Iran's turn. But these bombs also fly into our history and our safety.
I just got back from the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. There were representatives from 140 countries. All the main forces were represented there. They respect our great country. The USSR has laid unique ties with all continents.
International organizations BRICS and the SCO, created by the Russian and Chinese presidents, are a powerful counterweight to this brazen rove that declared war on the Russian World for complete destruction.
Nowadays, only powerful and strong alliances win wars. At one time, Stalin reconciled with the kulaks and Cossacks, agreed with the priests and convinced the British and Americans to enter into an alliance against the fascists.
It's time to unite all patriotic forces under the banner of socialism, justice and our great Victory.
During the Great Patriotic War, every second communist and every seventh citizen of the USSR laid their heads. Twenty million Soviet citizens laid their heads so that we could live under a peaceful sky.
I served in a group of Soviet troops in Germany. For two thousand kilometers, we ensured the safety of our Motherland. Today, 35 Russian regions are being shelled by drones. Enemies are attacking our strategic airfields. This is an impudence that cannot be forgiven.
NATO and Anglo-Saxons respect only the strong, smart and successful. But to become such, we must implement our Victory Program. It is supported by all the working people. But "United Russia" adopted a holey and lousy budget. Oligarchs continue to fill their own pockets. Financial and economic policy in Russia encourages the impudence of Anglo-Saxons and criminals who undermine our economy.
Therefore, Russia needs a new course and a new financial and economic policy. By combining the great Russian word with the brilliant asceticism of Soviet patriots, modern technology, Cosmos and our Banner, you can win again.
Today we bow to the memory of the winning fathers and grandfathers. We swear that we will change the existing course in favor of Victory, in favor of the working people, in favor of the majority!
The victory will be ours!
Hooray!
Chairman of the All-Russian Public Movement "In Support of the Army, Defense Industry and Military Science", Lieutenant General, State Duma deputy V.I. Sobolev:
- Dear comrades.
The Great Patriotic War started with a difficult start for us. The first strategic echelon of the fascists almost exceeded our first strategic echelon in the border military districts.
But we spent the initial period of the war very courageously, skillfully and with dignity. Already on June 24, 1941, Stalin issued a decree on the evacuation of enterprises of the defense-industrial complex to the East. Within two or three months, one and a half thousand largest enterprises (10 million workers, engineers and their family members) were evacuated to the East. At the beginning of 1942, these plants had already started operating at full capacity. This is how the economic foundation of our Victory was laid.
Our second task is to inflict maximum losses on the enemy. The Red Army also fulfilled this task with honor. Army Group "Center", having approached Moscow, lost the combat capability of all divisions. And we had 22 combat-ready divisions. And we went on the counteroffensive.
Therefore, the foundation of Victory was laid in 1941. Both in military and economic terms.
We are fighting fascism again. I was at the General Staff today. Everything possible is being done to restore our armed forces to a level where they can repel the aggression of any geopolitical enemy in any strategic direction. Our task is to do everything for this.
Today, the defense-industrial complex is operating at full capacity and the combat capability of our armed forces is being restored.
We will win!
We will rid the Russian world of fascism!
Our business is right!
The enemy will be defeated!
The victory will be ours!
Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, First Secretary of the Moscow Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation V.A. Tsarikhin:
- Dear comrades.
Today we remember the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. Thanks to them, we live today. We will always remember them.
The fascists and Banderaites raised their heads again. Is it possible to prevent a big war and bring Russia to the advanced economic front lines? Yes, it's possible. You will find the answer in the CPRF program documents. In the articles of Gennady Andreevich Zyuganov. Also get acquainted with the political report of our party.
Remember that only the communists defeated fascism. So be with the CPRF!
The victory will be ours!
Member of the Presidium, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation M.V. Drobot:
- Dear comrades.
I want to remind you that European countries surrendered to Hitler's Germany in 162 days. The defense of Stalingrad lasted 200 days. Sevastopol defended for 250 days. Pavlov's house was defended for 58 days. The Soviet people showed their high spirit during the Great Patriotic War.
We are grateful to all the heroes of the front and rear. The whole country from small to large has gone to war. Six pioneers became Heroes of the Soviet Union. We must always remember and respect the people who gave their lives for us. Their feat inspires us to new victories.
Remember in centuries, in years.
Remember those who will never come again.
Remember!
The statement of the rally-meeting of the deputies of the CPRF faction with voters on the day of the 84th anniversary of the treacherous attack on our homeland by fascist Germany, the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) was read by the second secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation V.V. Obukhovsky:
- We, the children and grandchildren of the winners of German fascism and the founders of the Great State of Socialism - the USSR, gathered today, June 22, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, in the center of the Russian capital at the Memorial of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, to pay tribute to the feat of the fighters and commanders of the Red Army, workers of the rear, participants of the partisan movement, all Soviet people who in the dashing hour of 1941 did not bow to the cruel, treacherous enemy and gave courageously rebuff to the armadas of the fascist Reich, who treacherously attacked our Motherland.
Having launched the first massive strikes on the territory of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the fascist Wehrmacht, intoxicated with success in Europe and confident in its superiority, counted on a quick and easy victory. The fascists thought that June 22 would be the beginning of a lightning-fast blitzkrieg for them, expensive for raw energy resources, Black Sea ports, Caspian oil. The fascists intended to destroy the country of socialism, enslave our people, organize public mockery of the national leader Stalin. 27 million people became victims of the war.
But Hitler and the field marshals miscalculated cruelly. The Soviet Union and its armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party defended the freedom and independence of our Motherland. With victories near Moscow and Stalingrad, Kursk and Orel, Minsk and Leningrad, the Red Army dispelled the myth of the invincibility of the Hitler Wehrmacht and brought freedom to the enslaved peoples of Europe.
But today, fascism has raised its head again, occupying Ukraine and threatening the borders of Russia. The rulers of Western Europe have forgotten the lessons of history and, under the influence of the NATO military and the international imperial capital, are again terrorizing, tearing our Earth, reviving Russophobia and burning good centers of friendship and cooperation between peoples. We are responsible to the fallen. Our sacred duty is to preserve the great feat of the Soviet people in the memory of future generations!
We are all, veterans and young people, in the same row in the fight against fascism. As an alarming nabat, for the patriots of Russia, all our citizens, a great call again sounds: "Get up, great country, get up for a mortal battle!", and our soldiers go into battle under the Great Red Banner of Victory of our grandfathers and fathers. Fascism will not pass. As it was in 1945, it will again be defeated and sweped out of our Earth.
As in the Great Patriotic War, today communists and Komsomol members are in the first line of fighters on the front line. The CPRF was the first to declare the need to recognize the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics back in 2014. Over the years, the party sent more than 28 thousand tons of food, medicines, army equipment, automotive equipment and special equipment to the combat zone. We call on everyone to rally in the fight against fascism and Russophobia and declare that the best response to our enemies will be the revival of the country, its economy and defense power. Therefore, we continue to insist on a decisive change of socio-economic course and attempts to denigrate our glorious history.
-Eternal glory to the heroes who fell for the freedom and independence of the Motherland!
-Glory to the Soviet people - the winner of Hitler's fascism!
-Red Banner is a symbol of Victory, valor, courage and honor!
-Fascism - won't pass! The victory will be ours!
