In Paris, at the Père Lachaise cemetery, the day of remembrance for the victims of political oppression was celebrated. Participants in the annual event "The Return of the Names" took turns reading the names of people who were victims of Soviet oppression. Among those who arrived were also French and Russian immigrants, including Anna Kartnikova and Alexander Cherkasov: we recently interviewed the two human rights activists.
