Speeches were made there.

Speakers said that during the Second World War the Soviet army and Leningrad citizens defended the city by displaying mass heroism and matchless self-sacrificing spirit despite the harsh blockade by the fascist aggressors and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, thus making a great contribution to achieving the final victory in the war.

They stressed that the film show would serve as an occasion of strengthening the friendly ties between the peoples of the two countries and contributing to boosting the strategic and traditional relations of friendship and cooperation.

Then the participants watched the Soviet documentary film "Great Victory in Leningrad".
