The State Duma adopted in the first reading the bill on the All-Russian minute of silence on June 22. This is the day the Great Patriotic War began in 1941. This was reported on the website of the lower house of parliament.

The explanatory note states that a minute of silence can be held at 12:15 Moscow time. This is the exact time of the broadcast of the appeal to Soviet citizens about the attack of Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

The common Minute of Silence of modern Russia will be an ever-living reminder to the world of aggression against our country and of the unbending will and courage of our multinational people, who did not submit to fascism and gave the world victory in World War II.
