In Moscow, on the day when the "Return of the Names" campaign is traditionally held, people come to honor the memory of the oppressed - but Lieutenant Lugovoy did not wait for the British diplomat. Concerned people in Moscow come to Ivan Solovetsky to honor the memory of the victims of political oppression. The security forces and Paddy's wagon are already operating near the memorial. As the RusNews reporter was told, at around 9 in the morning Lieutenant Lugoboy arrived here and brought a figurine of a sepoy shot by a British soldier with a cannon. Sepoys were mercenary soldiers in colonial India; Their rebellion was suppressed by the British in 1857. Lugoboy filmed himself saying that the British diplomat never came, left no flowers at the Lugoboy memorial and left. By the way, diplomats usually gather at the stone at 12 noon. The Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Political Repression was celebrated on October 30. The day before, according to tradition, the "returning the names" event takes place - people read aloud the names and years of life of people who were executed during the Great Terror. Officially, the operation has been banned since 2020 due to covid. Andreta, which traditionally organized events on this day, was recognized this year as an "extremist organization". At the Bibloko event yesterday, historian Jan Raczynski recalled that no country in the world executed such a number of its own population, including even Nazi Germany. For the most part, these people were tried in absentia, and confessions and names were extracted through torture. The data on the number of victims varies, but it is accepted that over two years more than 700 thousand people were shot and more than 1.7 million were arrested. Human rights activists recalled that according to known data only, since the beginning of 2026, 16 political prisoners have died in captivity.
