Hundreds of people joined the Immortal Regiment march to commemorate Victory Day in Madrid on Sunday, honouring the fallen heroes of World War II.
Demonstrators could be seen marching through the streets of the Spanish capital while carrying portraits of their deceased relatives and holding flowers as a symbol of remembrance. Some protesters were waving Soviet, Russian and LPR flags.
"We have come out here many times, for our historical memory. We believe it is essential that the history of the immortal regiment is known and that we are grateful for the sacrifice of the Soviet people with the millions of dead who sacrificed their lives to defeat Nazism in Europe," said Isabel, one of the march participants.
The Immortal Regiment March takes place on Victory Day in many countries of the world to commemorate the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in World War II, during which participants carry portraits of soldiers who served in the Red Army and lay flowers at memorials.
