On January 27, 1944 Leningrad was fully drawn out of the blockage. A year after, on January 27, 1945 the well known concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was taken by soviet troops. That is why January 27 was named by UN as the International day for the memory of Holocaust victims.

The most numerous for the last few years street action took place in Moscow: more than thousand of people came to Petrovski square to remember barrister Satnislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova, who were killed a year ago. Law enforcement and pro-Kremlin youth organizations tried to make some provocations against the meeting.

It has become traditional that representatives of Russian Social-Democratic Union of Youth take part in annual winter school among the colleges from Ireland, Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Swiss, Slovenia, Belorussia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel!   

Such activities help to develop communicational skills, ability to make decisions, dealing with information and ability to achieve personal targets (finally!), and can be used in behavioral and psychological trainings and seminars. After all, this is beautiful opportunity for great spending time!
