St. George Ribbon Campaign Commences in Moscow
The St. George Ribbon is a long-time symbol of wartime courage and memory. This year, the campaign marks the 81st anniversary of Victory Day and coincides with the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Information Bureau, the precursor to the Rossiya Segodnya media group.Over 20 years, the campaign has evolved into a national tradition both within Russia and beyond its borders. Over 35,000 ribbons have been sent this year to the Russian Houses (offices of Russian state humanitarian agency Rossotrudnichestvo) around the world, including Venezuela, Argentina, China, India and many others.
