Students throughout Russia pose in star shape to commemorate the ‘genocide of the Soviet people’

Schools and colleges throughout Russia joined in an initiative this week called “Through The Ages,” which entailed groups of students standing or kneeling in the shape of a five-pointed star. The purpose of the campaign was to mark the country’s “Day of Unified Action in Memory of the Genocide of the Soviet People by the Nazis and their Accomplices during the Great Patriotic War,” which schools observe annually on April 19.
