A memorial service for the soldiers who perished in the 1939 Battle of Khalkhin Gol was conducted in Mongolia by Father Antony Gusev, rector of the Holy Trinity Parish in Ulaanbaatar. The service took place at a site where archaeologists are currently searching for the remains of fallen soldiers.

The Russian Ambassador to Mongolia, Alexey Yevsikov, and Father Antony Gusev visited the location of the international expedition "Khalkhin Gol. Our Glory Grows 2024," organized by the Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural and Historical Heritage "Link of Times and Generations." The foundation reported the visit on their VKontakte social media page.

The expedition is dedicated to finding the remains of soldiers who died in the battle. At the excavation site, Father Antony Gusev conducted a memorial service for the fallen soldiers. Following the service, the Russian Embassy delegation and expedition participants laid a wreath at the monument of Major Remizov, commander of the 149th Motor Rifle Regiment. The monument stands on Remizov Hill in Dornod Province, where the fiercest clashes between Soviet-Mongolian forces and the Japanese army occurred.

To date, the expedition has discovered the remains of nineteen Red Army soldiers who died at Khalkhin Gol. The organizers stated that until a permanent burial site is decided, these remains will be kept at the Holy Trinity Church in Ulaanbaatar, allowing relatives to pay their respects.

The Battle of Khalkhin Gol took place in 1939 during a conflict near the borders of Japanese-occupied Manchuria and the Mongolian People's Republic. The final battle occurred in late August, resulting in the complete defeat of the Japanese 23rd Infantry Division of the 6th Army. An armistice between the USSR and Japan was signed on September 15, 1939.
