The message reads, in part:
“Your highly relevant research and educational project serves the important and noble purpose of preserving our historical memory and promoting the patriotic upbringing of young people. Its noble mission unites people of different generations, age groups and professions: representatives of bodies of power and public figures, experts and media professionals, scientists and archivists, volunteers and members of search parties.
This fifth forum is particularly special. For the first time, the participants will present impressive results of their work, including previously unknown archival documents that expose the practices of genocide against the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, case materials, and other important evidence of the heinous crimes committed by the Nazis and their collaborators.
I am confident that during the forum you will be able to outline the direction of your future efforts, share best practices, and propose new meaningful ideas and initiatives.”
