The Crimea was launched by the international relay of border guards to the anniversary of the Victory

In 2004, the Council of Commanders of the Border Troops and the Council of the Heads of State of the CIS, within the framework of the Commonwealth, organized the holding of the Victory Relay. <...> The border troops made a significant contribution to the common cause of victory. The border guards were the first to enter the battle against the Nazi hordes, while showing perseverance, courage and heroism. <...> Despite the superior forces of the enemy, not a single border outpost from the Baltic to the Black Sea left its positions without an order. <...> For courage and courage, 736 border guards shown in the early days of the war were awarded orders and medals, 11 fighters and commanders of Brownvoysk were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union— said the host of the event.

“Victory Relay” will take place thousands of kilometers along the state borders of the CIS participants, visit hundreds of cities, take part in many solemn events and end on the day of the border guard in Moscow.
