One of the most trag­ic dates in the his­to­ry of Rus­sia. On this day, the Great Patri­ot­ic War began. And from that moment, June 22 has become a date that reminds all liv­ing peo­ple of the ter­ri­ble days of the war, which last­ed a long 1418 days. This sad date reminds us of all those who died defend­ing the free­dom of our coun­try and the lives of its cit­i­zens.
