Tomorrow marks a day of remembrance of Soviet deportations in the Baltic states.
For the first time ever @europarl_en will hold an official Commemoration of mass Soviet deportations from Central and Eastern Europe. Reading the names of deportees will become a yearly event. 1/5

The memory of the communist crimes committed in Europe is an important part of the historical identity of Europe.
Unfortunately, public awareness of Soviet crimes is lacking in countries not affected by Soviet terror. 2/5

Deportations have returned to Europe. Putin’s Russia is committing the same crimes in Ukraine as Soviet Russia used to commit.
We must evaluate the crimes of the largest totalitarian regimes of the 20th century if we want to end this vicious cycle. 3/5
