Immortal Regiment Parade Scheduled for Victory Day in Yakutia
Marching for Viktoriya: The "Immortal Regiment" comes to Yakutsk on May 9th
Say goodbye to traffic on Victory Day as Yakutsk marks the significant "Immortal Regiment" march! The annual event will unfold along Khabarov Street, starting at 1:00 PM from Victory Square. But first, gather at these spots: G. Chiryayev Square, IT Park on Lenin Prospect, and "Prospekt" store on Yaroslavsky Street.
Remember, Khabarov Street gets pedestrian-only from 8:00 AM on Victory Day. Part of Bogdan Chizhik Street will be blocked up till its intersection with Fedor Popov Street.
Three entry points will help you get to the action. Look for them on Lenin Prospect near the Institute of Development and Advanced Training of Yakutia, Syvtsov-Suoruun Omolon and Yaroslavsky Streets by the Museum House of Political Exile.
When the march concludes, snap some memories at the photo zone on Bogatyr Street. Catch a glimpse of Soviet-era cars and fill up at the field kitchen alongside your family and fellow marchers.
