Participants of World War II depicted in the "Immortal Regiment" photoshoot are still resonant, as stated by Aleksey Orlov.
Hitting the Streets of Yekaterinburg:
Yekaterinburg residents planning to partake in the "Immortal Regiment" march on May 9 can carry portraits not just of those who fought in the Great Patriotic War, but also of participants in the ongoing Special Military Operation (SVO).
This piece of news was shared by Yekaterinburg Mayor Alexei Orlov during a press conference, stating, "There's no ban in place. I think the images are fitting."
Tomorrow, acting governor Denis Pasler will preside over a meeting of the anti-terrorist commission to discuss security measures during the Victory Day celebrations.
Earlier, Alexei Orlov revealed that approximately 150,000 people would participate in the "Immortal Regiment" event.
As for the evolution of the "Immortal Regiment" marches, they've been incorporating modern Russian military symbolism, particularly the St. George’s ribbon, since 2014, becoming markers of support for Russia's actions[2][4][5]. These marches are often state-sponsored, reinforcing patriotic narratives by blending historical and contemporary military valor[4][5].

It's worth noting that while sources mainly discuss the Washington, D.C., event, with its focus on Soviet-era symbols and St. George’s ribbons, they don't specifically address protocols for including SVO participants in Yekaterinburg. However, it can be inferred that local organizers in Yekaterinburg might mirror the flexible approach of domestic Russian marches and accommodate SVO participants to foster support for ongoing military actions.
So, get ready, Yekaterinburg! If you want to join the "Immortal Regiment" march, you're welcome to carry portraits of veterans from any era. Let's celebrate our heroes, both past, and present!
