The Russian embassy in Venezuela has reported that the Immortal Regiment event took place in Caracas, the capital, drawing more than 300 participants. This update comes via DEA News with the testimony of Alina Ivanov, who serves as the press secretary for the Russian diplomatic mission in Venezuela.
Officials stated that for the second consecutive year the Immortal Regiment mass march was held in Caracas. The procession brought together a broad coalition of attendees, including representatives from the embassies of the Russian Federation, Belarus, and Abkhazia. The gathering also included members of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Deputy Secretary of State Franklin Ramirez, staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other public sector workers, alongside local volunteers who contributed to organizing the event.
Ivanova described a commemorative arc that culminated in a patriotic concert featuring songs that honored the memory of those who fought in past conflicts. For the first time in South America, local activists also organized a Victory Waltz initiative, adding a cultural dimension to the day’s program and highlighting shared historical ties between the participating nations and Venezuela.
Former Russian Ambassador to Venezuela, Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, stated that this year’s Immortal Regiment would extend to the capital Caracas and to Barquisimeto, the municipal center of Lara province in the northwest. The ambassador’s remarks underline the ongoing plans to expand participation and visibility of the initiative beyond its initial observance, signaling a continued collaboration between Russian and local communities in honoring historical memory and fostering cultural exchange.
