Galina Ermolina, Coordinator of Euro-Asia CC in Novosibirsk, Russia, tells us about her International Day of Peace celebration. “Three men in a car” decided to undertake a peaceful rally “Peace Road” through Russia, on a 10,000km (6,213 mile) journey. They drove from to Vladivostok, which took three weeks, spreading positive ideas of peace along their way.

They received an encouraging welcome. “Their stops in the different cities became celebrations for local people, and ‘three men in a car’ were welcomed heartily everywhere with singing, amateur concerts and tables laid with tasty food. Dmitriy even joked that had put on weight during the rally. In big cities, TV crews organized interviews, asking about the goals of this Initiative.
