RF youth expedition to Mongolia on Khalkhin Gol battle anniversary.
IRKUTSK, August 10 (Itar-Tass) -- A youth expedition, which is
dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, will go from the Baikal regional centre to Mongolia on Monday.
The expedition mainly includes students from various higher education institutions who
passed a competitive selection under the program, including a scout game,
a battle march to overcome natural and artificial obstacles and an
examination on the history of the conflict, which was held right on the
eve of the Second World War.
Young people from Mongolia will join the expedition on the
Russian-Mongolian border, a source in the expedition headquarters told
Itar-Tass. On the way to the Khalkhin Gol River they will visit
Sukhbaatar, Darkhan, Ulan-Bator, Choibalsan and other settlements, visit
the places of the hostilities, lay wreaths to the monuments to the
conflict casualties and will give concerts for local residents.
After that the expedition will return in the Mongolian capital, where
members of the expedition will participate in a military parade on August
26 that is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the historical events. In
the wartime uniform they will march a separate column in the parade.
In spring and summer 1939 the Japanese troops repeatedly broke into
the Mongolian People's Republic, which had an allied treaty with the
Soviet Union, but were defeated by the Soviet-Mongolian troops on the
Khalkhin Gol River.
The major and decisive battles were held in August 1939 between the
6th Japanese Army and the 1st Soviet Army Grouping under the command of
Corps Commander Georgy Zhukov.
