Today, about 3,000 people took an oath of loyalty to the DNR in Donetsk. D V Pushilin, Vice-Chairman of the DNR Peoples Soviet, members of the “Donetsk Republic” movement, athletes, and volunteers took part in the ceremony. The event commemorated the first anniversary of the solemn oath taken by the original DNR opolchenietsy. Today, in memory of that event, our citizens vowed, “To defend the Motherland from all enemy attacks, to strictly abide by the laws and keep the peace, to remember the podvig of our soldiers who laid down their lives for their native home, and to be faithful to the Donbass”. Many children and teenagers were present; each child got ice cream and balloons in the colours of the DNR national flag.
Pushilin addressed the crowd, “You know, if we embrace sport to have healthy young people, if we know who the real heroes are and who were the fascists, if we dress in [Red Army] uniforms on holidays to show our debt to our heroes, and if we hold events such as this one as often as we can, with our kids taking part, then, we’ll hold our Republic. The constant shelling of the DNR doesn’t take responsibility for what happens from the authorities… we must fulfil all our commitments to build a new state. We must build our Republic, organise holidays, and educate our young people. I’m sure that with such young people as we have, the DNR will have a bright future”.
Following the mass oath-taking ceremony, there were performances by Masters of Sports from «Workout» in Makeyevka and Donetsk, demonstrations of martial arts athletes from “Leopard”, as well as a dance flash mob. Andrei Chernyshyov, Secretary of the Donetsk Chapter of “Donetsk Republic”, said, “Today’s event is a tribute to the event on 21 June 2014 when the soldiers of the Republican Guard and the opolchenietsy came to the main square in Donetsk and took the oath of allegiance to the Republic. We believe that if we remember our history, we have a great and bright future”.

The international NGO Русское поле (Russkoye Polye: Russian Field) organised an international conference in Italy entitled «Войны, которых нет» (The War, Which Isn’t). Members of the Youth Parliament of the DNR People’s Soviet were at the conference. The report of the DNR delegation stated, “Novorossiya, as well as many countries in the world that gained independence in one way or another remain unrecognised by the international community. At first glance, it seems to interfere with interstate dialogue. Economy, culture, education, and other activities seem cut off from international coöperation. However, we can mitigate the stigma of ‘unrecognised’ with informal diplomacy”. Our Youth Parliament conducted scientific and political conferences with counterparts from the SNG and Greece, and is planning to expand coöperation with other countries, including Spain and Georgia.
