The Immortal Regiment - WWII commemorative initiative was born as a public movement aiming at preserving the memories of relatives participating in WWII and a ground-roots effort to publicize their stories in an attempt to stand against war through highlighting the horrors that it brings.
First-ever “Immortal Regiment” rally was held in Russia in 2011 in the city of Tomsk, organized by a group of friends, local colleagues of journalism as a memorial public action supporting the May V-Day celebrations.
2018 saw the biggest turnout of commemorative participants to-date, with over 5,000 estimated family members marching throughout twenty US cities. 2018 also became a notable year for the movement with the organizers in the US coming together to seek official, legitimate formation of the initiative into a national nonprofit organization, allowing it to become a US-based, grass roots commemorative cause aimed at preserving the memories of all Allied veterans and what they have achieved in WWII.
Today, the official organization, along with its partners and affiliates, continues supporting and expanding the public initiative, aiming at preserving the memories of WWII veterans of the Alliance through encouragement of public awareness and education of the causes and costs of WWII.
