On April 19, Russia commemorates the Day of Unified Action in memory of victims of crimes against the Soviet people committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War.
The purpose of the Day of Unified Action is to preserve the historical truth about the crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices against Soviet civilians in the occupied territory during the Great Patriotic War.
This day in 1943, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued Decree No. 39 “On punishment measures for Nazi villains guilty of killing and torturing the Soviet civilian population and capturing Red Army soldiers, for spies, traitors to the motherland from among Soviet citizens and for their accomplices”.
