The association was founded in Tomsk, Siberia, in 2012, by journalists Sergey Lapenkov, Sergey Kolotovkin and Igor Dmitriev. The Immortal Regiment ( Bessmertniy Polk) association is organising an "online march" similar to those held in previous years ( picture 4: a march in Rome). For this reason, groups dedicated to national remembrance have organised "virtual" celebrations. In addition to the Orthodox liturgical calendar, Russia’s national identity is centred on these "patriotic" anniversaries that mark great victories and the various periods of the country’s history. This year, great outdoor displays will not be possible because of the coronavirus outbreak, but President Vladimir Putin has promised a more spectacular than usual “air parade”.
