Πορεία μνήμης για τη Μέρα της Αντιφασιστικής Νίκης: Εκατοντάδες Ρώσοι και πολίτες των πρώην σοβιετικών χωρων συγκεντρώθηκαν στην πλατεία Συντάγματος, και πραγματοποίησαν την πορεία της «Αθάνατης Στρατιάς», μία πορεία μνήμης και τιμής, με αφορμή την Μεγάλη Αντιφασιστική Νίκη. Η συγκέντρωση και η πορεία πραγματοποιήθηκε μετά από κάλεσμα της Ομοσπονδίας των συλλόγων μεταναστών από τις χώρες της πρώην ΕΣΣΔ, η οποία τονίζει σε ανακοίνωσή της: «72 χρόνια μετά, το τέρας του φασισμού σηκώνει κεφάλι. Οι νεοναζί σπέρνουν το μίσος και το ρατσισμό και δολοφονούν, από το Ντονμπάς μέχρι το Κερατσίνι. Όμως ο αγώνας της μνήμης ενάντια στη λήθη θα νικήσει, η Μέρα της Νίκης θα γιορταστεί επικαιροποιημένη στους σύγχρονους αγώνες ενάντια στο φασισμό».
Στο κάλεσμά της η Ομοσπονδία ζητούσε εκτός από τη συμμετοχή τους να φέρουν μαζί τους και τη φωτογραφία κάποιου συγγενικού προσώπου ή κάποιου επώνυμου που συμμετείχε στον αντιφασιστικό αγώνα 1940-1945. «Για να τιμήσουμε όσους πάλεψαν με το όπλο ή την προκήρυξη στο χέρι, στις διαδηλώσεις, στις απεργίες, τα σαμποτάζ, στα κρατητήρια ή μπροστά στα εκτελεστικά αποσπάσματα».

Greece: Cavalcade through Athens launches documenta14 exhibition

Greece: documenta14 exhibition launch event: The Athens - Kassel Ride : "The Transit of Hermes" conceived by Ross Birrell.
The documenta 14 art exhibition got off to an official start on Sunday with a unique event, as a cavalcade of horses and riders wound its way through Sunday crowds beneath the Acropolis, beginning a journey to Kassel, Germany.
The idea of the Athens–Kassel Ride was conceived by Scottish artist Ross Birrell and was inspired by the horseback ride that Swiss author Aimé Félix Tschiffely carried out in the 1920s from Buenos Aires to New York. Birrell describes his project as "Hermes' Transition" since the cavalcade includes a Greek thoroughbred 'Aravani' horse from the mountains of Arcadia named Hermes.
Talking about the significance of the horseback journey through Europe, documenta14 artistic director Adam Szymczyk said it was a "line we are drawing that links many European countries."
"We were aware from the start of the complexity and cost of the journey but it is a long and beautiful journey. First of all for the riders and the people in the cities that will experience it and secondly as an allegoric journey through unknown places that strengthens the relationship between horse and human, a two-way relationship of taming and culture that is forgotten. Whatever happens is part of the journey," he said.
This year, for the first time, the exhibition will be "shared" between Athens and Kassel, taking place in the Greek capital between April 8 and July 16 and in Kassel from June 10 until September 17.
