The SCRSS organises a regular programme of lectures,
film shows, exhibitions, seminars and other events at its premises
in London. The Society is also involved in educational and commemorative
events associated with the Soviet War Memorial in London. Events
are open to both SCRSS members and non-members, unless otherwise
stated.
Venue and Tickets
Currently, due to the pandemic, all lecture and seminar events
are online Zoom meetings bookable via Eventbrite. In 2022 we continue
our library openings for members every Tuesday, as well as the
first Saturday of the month from February. We hope to resume other
in-person events at the SCRSS once
it becomes safe to do so.
For our standard online Zoom lectures, we kindly ask you to make
a small donation to the SCRSS via Eventbrite when booking, as
we receive no external funding. Once in-person events resume in
our centre, as previously lecture and film tickets will cost £3.00
(SCRSS members) and £5.00 (non-members). All other events
or classes, Zoom or in person, are priced as indicated.

Holocaust Memorial Day, Act of Remembrance at the Soviet War Memorial,
London
Holocaust Memorial Day marks the date of the liberation of the
Auschwitz concentration and extermination camps by the Soviet
Red Army on 27 January 1945. The Soviet War Memorial Trust (SWMT)
is organising a joint ceremony in co-operation with Southwark
Council. Participants should gather in front of the main entrance
to the Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Road, London SE1 6HZ by 10.45.
From there they will process to the nearby Memorial. Those interested
are welcome to come along on the day. However, if you intend to
lay a wreath, or to bring the standard of your organisation, please
email the SWMT on sovietwarmemorialtrust@gmail.com
as soon as possible and before the day. Wreaths may be laid at
either the Soviet War Memorial or Southwark Council's Holocaust
Memorial Tree (adjacent to the Soviet War Memorial) or both. The
ceremony is expected to last roughly 30 minutes. Please note that
for this ceremony there will be no temporary seating at the Memorial.
Given the numbers visiting the Imperial War Museum (IWM) on this
day, we advise using public transport if at all possible. Following
the ceremony, participants may wish to visit the new Holocaust
galleries inside the IWM.
The Soviet War Memorial
was unveiled in 1999 on the initiative of the SCRSS and the Society
has been supporting the work of the SWMT since its foundation.
The SWMT organises three main ceremonies at the Memorial each
year to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (January); Victory Day (9
May) and Remembrance Sunday (November).
