Prayerful standing will take place in Moscow to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Solovki Concentration Camp set up

Moscow, August 22, Interfax - A prayerful standing will take place in Moscow near the Solovki Stone this Sunday at 6 p.m. on the eve of the Solovki New Martyrs and Confessors feast, organizers told an Interfax-Religioncorrespondent.

This year it has been 90 years since the Arkhangelsk Province Executive Committee on May 26, 1920, set up a concentration camp of the province subjection in the Solovki Islands, the forerunner of the notorious SLON. The great Russian shrine became a terrible place of sufferings and executions for many years.

Participants in the action urge the authorities to allow them setting up a Solovki cross on Lubyanka Square and building a memorial church-chapel to commemorate dozens of thousands Solovki victims killed in years of repression.
