Digital 'Immortal Regiment' Honors WWII Veterans in Online March
Our website, April 27 – Registration is now open for the "Immortal Regiment Online" campaign. Applications can be submitted via the website 2026.polkrf.ru or through the mini-apps on VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, or MAX until May 6. In your personal account, you can upload a photograph and details about a veteran of the Great Patriotic War or a home front worker. The platform offers a photo enhancement feature to restore and colorize old images.
Participants are encouraged to share their heroes' stories on social media. The online march will be broadcast live on May 9 at 12:00 local time via 2026.polkrf.ru and screens across the country. The procession will begin in the Far East, then move through Siberia, the Urals, Central Russia, and conclude in the Kaliningrad Region.
After logging in, each user will see their hero among the first participants in the march—without waiting in the general stream. During the broadcast, a "Connect with a Descendant" feature will be available, allowing users to send requests to communicate with the relatives of other campaign participants.
To ensure the accuracy of submissions, all entries undergo multi-stage moderation with the involvement of professional historians. This process helps eliminate fake profiles, inappropriate content, and any attempts to distort history.
The "Immortal Regiment Online" campaign is supported by Sberbank as its technology partner and VK as its media partner.
