The President lit a candle at the Grieving Mother monument, a collective image of all women of the war generation mourning their dead husbands, children and parents.

Next, Vladimir Putin inspected the Testaments of Faith exposition about the real fates of heroes in the Great Patriotic War and the special military operation, designed to reflect the enduring value of courage, selflessness and love for the Motherland.

Its nine thematic sections, covering 1,200 square metres, recreate the scenery of the capital during the war.
