Vyacheslav VOLODIN suggested protecting the graves of soldiers and officers who liberated Europe from fascism.

Mr VOLODIN emphasized, “To honour their memory, we must make a decision; at least, I ask you to do so. And this decision, I think, is within our power. And we should start with the issue that certainly should unite us: we should put a stop to disturbing the graves of the fallen, those who fell for us, so that we could discuss here the issues of the future, those who fell for our children, so that we could live.”
He gave the example of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, who were able to overcome ideological differences and make the decisions that guide us today: the defining role of the UN and the rule of international law. “It would be right for us, those who build democratic states, to join forces – we do not have those ideological differences,” stressed Mr VOLODIN.​
