Hey friends! Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin recently visited Changchun on the Chinese mainland to honor Soviet pilots who fought in WWII. At Changchun’s famous People’s Square, he and his delegation laid a wreath at the Monument to Soviet Liberating Pilots and observed a minute of silence. 🎖️
The monument is a towering 27.5-meter obelisk with five tiers topped by a dive bomber model 🚀. It bears the names of 23 brave servicemen from the Transbaikal Front who laid down their lives in August and September 1945.
Volodin praised Chinese efforts in preserving these memorials and highlighted the importance of deeper cooperation to turn high-level agreements between Moscow and Beijing into reality. It’s a reminder of shared history fueling present-day diplomacy 🌐.
For news enthusiasts, young professionals, and students tracking global ties, this visit underscores how historical memory can boost cultural and political bridges. Stay tuned for more on Russia–China collaborations! 🌉
