"Some 300 people are taking part in our campaign, including representatives of embassies of Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan," Natalya Pereslavtseva, the action's coordinator, told RIA Novosti.
A similar campaign also took place in Milan on Saturday. It will also take place in Venice and Naples on May 8 and May 10, respectively.
The "Immortal Regiment" is a patriotic initiative that commemorates WWII soldiers in marches held across Russia and other countries in early May. During the marches, people carry photographs of their ancestors who participated in the war. Some 12 million people have participated in the 2015 Immortal Regiment march throughout Russia.
This year, commemorative marches are planned in the United States, Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and many other countries.
