Plenipotentiary Representative of the Republic of Abkhazia to the Federal Republic of Germany, PhD in Philology Khibla Amichba, participated in a flower-laying ceremony at the memorial at the site of the execution of the outstanding poet and anti-fascist resistance hero Musa Cälil.

The ceremony was attended by Sergey Nechayev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Federal Republic of Germany, staff of the Russian diplomatic mission and the Russian House in Berlin, representatives of the Tatar community in Germany, its leader Venera Vagizova, members of the Berlin public, and journalists.

The event was held in an atmosphere of dignity and profound respect for the memory of the victims of Nazism and the heroes of the anti-fascist resistance. Musa Cälil was a Tatar Soviet poet and veteran of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). He was captured in 1942, but while in Nazi custody, he continued his struggle, becoming one of the organizers of an underground anti-fascist group among prisoners of war. For his activities, he was sentenced to death and executed on August 25, 1944, in Plötzensee Prison in Berlin. Musa Cälil was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
