Peskov does not know if Putin will participate in the Immortal Regiment campaign

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov does not know if Vladimir Putin will take part in the Immortal Regiment action this year. According to the Kremlin representative, alternative formats for holding the action will be in demand.

“I can’t say about (participation.— “b”) of the president, but the fact that these alternative formats will be widely demanded by citizens is unequivocal,” Peskov said during a press call.

Organizers of the “Immortal Regiment” declaredthat this year “we decided to move away from the format of one street and one square, and go wider.” In particular, it is proposed to place portraits of veterans on cars, or “attach photographs of the heroes of their families to clothes” in order to “not part with them throughout the day.” From April ongoing traditional preparation for the Victory Parade.
