"Volgograd and Hiroshima are the twin cities. Stalingrad Battle was a real massacre. Our native city was almost ruined during the World War II. Сhildren suffered greatly from the horrors of war. Although it’s 2012 year now, the bombs are still being found on our land. And every year a number of adults’ and children’s lives are lost because of the bomb explosions. That’s why we understand Japanese people very well. We empathize with them and wish our Origami Cranes to be added to the prayer for peace against the nuclear weapons development , against the atomic bombing, against the armaments race."
