During the autumn session, they will continue to work on the legal implementation of the provisions of the revised Constitution.

Valentina Matvienko also recalled a number of past events aimed at the preservation of the heroic history of our country. She highlighted that the topic of maintenance of the historical heritage of the Great Victory would become the central issue of the upcoming Seventh Forum of Russian and Belarusian Regions.
