Each column was named after a particular war front; for example, the one that took
off from London was called the Leningrad front. According to the participants of the
race, they wanted to remind the British of Soviet contribution to the defeat of Nazi
Germany.
“This is our great story, this is a victory. Our grandfathers, great-grandfathers,
grandmothers, grandfathers fought fearlessly, gave us freedom so that we could live
on this land. And all of us, our children should remember this,” says rally participant
Kristina Kalnina.
