The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the eighth convocation. Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast)
pays a working visit to Belgrade. During the visit, the Chairman of the State Duma and the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia honored the memory of Soviet
and Yugoslav soldiers who died fighting for the liberation of Belgrade from the Nazi occupation. Viacheslav Volodin and Maja Gojković laid
wreaths at the Liberators
of Belgrade Monument and the Monument to Soviet Soldiers.
“We are grateful to our Serbian friends for their careful attitude to the graves of our fathers and grandfathers, who gave their lives for our freedom. This is a lesson for countries that have begun to forget, thanks to whom they live now and build the future,” the Chairman of the State Duma told reporters at the end of the ceremony.
“Unfortunately, the world still faces cynicism and ingratitude,” he said.
According to Viacheslav Volodin, “the recent act of vandalism in Kharkiv — the destruction of the bust of Marshal Zhukov — is condemned by anyone who honors the memory of the war heroes.” He also expressed confidence that the Ukrainian people will give an assessment to the destroyers of collective memory.
The delegation of the State Duma headed by Viacheslav Volodin is visiting Belgrade on a working visit. During the visit, Viacheslav Volodin will address the Serbian parliament. A meeting of the Commission on Cooperation between the State Duma and the National Assembly of Serbia will also be held.
In addition, Viacheslav Volodin is going to hold meetings with President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Maja Gojković.
