The anniversary is an important occasion for all living generations to remember the heroes who defended the world at the cost of their own lives. It is an occasion to remind again and again of the unforgettable feats of the peoples of Eurasia, allies in the anti - Hitler coalition.
In the year of the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory, the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly, together with partners implements a number of events united by the megaproject “VICTORIOUS TOGETHER - for Peace and Creation”.

Our common goal is to draw the attention of the general public to the issues of preserving historical memory, countering attempts to rehabilitate Nazism, and offer new ideas for preserving the planet from military and other threats.
On behalf of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly, I thank the activists and friends of the Association “Russian house” in Verona and Marina Kholodenova personally for organizing this event. The involvement of the Italian public and the joint efforts of the authorities and society contribute to active peace-making processes and moods. Today, it is extremely important to do everything possible to replace the old destructive scenarios of wars and conflicts with new peaceful forms of coexistence of peoples.
Let today's concert be another practical step towards the implementation of an all-encompassing peace initiative that unites people regardless of gender, race, nationality or religion, strengthen harmony and unity, and complements the efforts of state organizations to preserve peace and mutual understanding among the peoples of the continent.
