February, 15 is the commemoration day of soldiers-internationalists

On February 15, 1989 last divisions of Russian troops were completely withdrawn from Afghanistan. On this day the Afghan war was over; this war had lasted for almost ten years and killed over 15 thousand Soviet citizens. By the Federal Law dated November 29, 2010 № 320-FZ there was established the official Day of Commemoration of the Russians who served duty outside the Fatherland. On February, 15 all over our country there are held rallies and moments of silence. People lay wreaths and flowers at the military memorials. This memorable date is devoted not only to soldiers of the Afghans war, but also to all those who carried out their duty in other wars and local conflicts outside the national territory.

We remember the internationalist heroes, we will never forget of their heroism and courage.
