Ten million Russians hit streets for nationwide ‘Immortal Regiment’ marches

The Immortal Regiment march has united 10.4 million people across Russia, Russian Interior Ministry Spokeswoman Irina Volk said on Wednesday, TASS reported.

"Over 2,900 events have been held within the framework of the Immortal Regiment event throughout Russia. At least 10.4 million people marched carrying portraits of their relatives," she said.

Moscow broke last year’s record bringing together more than one million participants.

In 2017, about eight million people took part in the marches held across Russia.
