“Being far from the homeland and not having the opportunity, together with the inhabitants of the Republic, to commemorate the hard days of our history, schoolchildren lit a candle of memory on the Neva embankment. Having formed a circle of trust, the guys shared with each other their memories of those tragic days,” said Tuaeva.
