MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Putin visited the school of the German Embassy in Moscow, where he met with participants of the first Russian-German students' meeting. The Moscow meeting is a part of the project "Work for Peace — Reconciliation Above the Graves".
"I think it is important that Russian and German students talk about the past to move forward. But there is also an important thing: we should know about the past but we should not let it grab us and hold us back," Putin said.
"Work for Peace — Reconciliation Above the Graves" is a Russian-German youth project which is coordinated by the National Union on German War Graves Care, the German Embassy to Russia and the German-Russian Youth Exchange Fund.
