Tiraspol, 12 April. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. Yesterday Tiraspol's Glory Memorial hosted a youth action Memory Candle. It was first organised two years ago on the 70th anniversary of the capital's liberation from the Nazi invaders and has already become traditional.
On the eve of 12 April hundreds of people came to the city's centre to pay tribute to the memory of those who laid down their lives for the sake of future generations.
