As reported to the Res agency by Zhuykova, the event will be held at the Victory Museum in Moscow on June 17-18.

“During the meeting, it is planned to discuss the implementation of a set of events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, issues of preserving historical memory and counteracting the falsification of history,” she has specified.

President of South Ossetia has received the official invitation to take part in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), one of the largest platforms for discussing economic cooperation and development.

A documentary film by Victoria Lazarova, "Gone with the Zar", will be shown in Moscow. It tells about the tragic events in South Ossetia in May 1992, known as the Zar tragedy.

The premiere of the documentary will take place at the Oktyabr cinema on Tuesday in a closed screening format.

The film is based on historical facts, the eyewitness accounts and expert opinions, revealing the nature of the interethnic conflict and showing the events through the eyes of ordinary people who became the unwitting participants in those terrible days.
