One must not forget the victims, especially in the Smolensk cemetery, where so many of them lie. I was there last year and saw the new crosses. Thank you for doing this every year.

I remember how last year the choir and I went to St. Petersburg and also went to Smolenskoye. These new crosses really stand right next to the road, you can immediately see it. It’s good that the metropolis commemorates it every year, otherwise without it they would have completely forgotten.

I remember seeing those new crosses by the road two years ago when I was visiting my son in St. Petersburg. It's good that the metropolis does this every year, otherwise the victims would be completely forgotten. Thanks for the reminder.
