The result of the unparalleled courage and heroism of soldiers, partisans and home front workers was the complete liberation of Donbass in September 1943.

“The occupation of our region lasted about seven hundred days. Hundreds of thousands of residents of the region died from cold, hunger, disease and terror of the occupation authorities. Let me, on behalf of the thousands of veterans’ organization of our city and other organizations of the Republic, congratulate you on this wonderful date and wish you the very best,” said Nikolai Demidov.
