On March 1, Kansalaistori Square in Helsinki will become a place of remembrance for the victims of the Russian regime and a site where Russians fight for justice

13:00 – Rally “Heroes Don’t Die”

On this day, marches will take place around the world in memory of those who fought for Russia’s freedom but became victims of the repressive machine. For decades, Putin’s regime has eliminated its opponents—politicians, journalists, and human rights defenders. Today, Russia is waging a criminal war, and thousands of people remain in prison for their struggle.

Each of us is a voice that must be heard. We must speak up, we must remind the world of what is happening.

16:00 – Rally in Support of Russian Asylum Seekers

Since late 2024, the Finnish Immigration Service has been massively rejecting asylum applications from those who fled Russia to escape mobilization. People who refused to take up arms and kill have found themselves in a dead-end situation: returning to Russia could have tragic consequences right at the border.

Come and show your support for asylum seekers and help draw attention to this issue!
