The collection of photographs of veterans of the Great Patriotic War is being held in the city of Irkutsk. “People’s Victory” is one stage of the large-scale “Remember Me” campaign, in which photos of Irkutsk residents, veterans of the Great Patriotic War, are scanned, processed, and placed on the street stands of the “Wall of Memory” in the square near the Eternal Flame. The project began its work back in 2013.
