Residents of the capitals of Georgia and Armenia held “Return of Names” actions dedicated to the Day of Remembrance of Victims of Political Repression in the USSR. Participants read out the names of the victims.
In Yerevan, the action took place at the monument to the poet Yeghishe Charents, whom the NKVD accused of creating an underground nationalist organization. In Tbilisi, activists read out the names of those repressed at the “Last Address” memorial plaque, installed in memory of the Georgian engineer Konstantin Kandareli. He was shot in 1937 on charges of sabotage and sabotage.
In Moscow, police cordoned off Lubyanka Square on the approach to the Solovetsky Stone, where a flower-laying ceremony took place on the Day of Remembrance for Victims of Political Repression. In many cities of the Russian Federation, the prosecutor's office demanded the cancellation of the “Return of Names” campaign.
