The Arctic Convoys, Ushakov Medal & WRF’s Support for Veterans

THE WRF & OUR WORK TO PROMOTE THE MEMORY OF ANGLO RUSSIAN VETERANS: WRF work with a range of veterans organisations including Victory Day London, the Arctic Convoys Museum and the Soviet War Memorial Trust. We feel that having been allied with the Russian peoples twice in the last century we have a duty to remember those from both sides whom sacrificed so much – whatever bilateral difficulties we currently face we are as one in awe of the amazing sacrifice of the heroic deeds of Russian and British veterans.

The WRF is Proud to Support the Ushakov Medal Campaign…

The Westminster Russia Forum proud to be supporting the Ushakov medal awarding campaign.

The Ushakov is a formal decoration of the Russian Federation designed to commemorate exceptional bravery at sea. Founded in 1944 the medal commemorates those brave sailors of the British Royal Navy and Merchant Marine that took the perilous journey north to support our allies – the Soviet Union. A special mention of thanks goes to the founder of the WRF and his team, Mr Richard Royal for launching the WRF’s support in 2012.

The Westminster Russia Forum is proud to be supporting the campaign to award our veterans the medal that they fought so hard for.
