August 23 is the European commemoration day in memory of the victims of the totalitarian ideologies of Stalinism and National Socialism. It was designated by the European Parliament on April 2, 2009.

The date August 23 is in commemoration of the day when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed, when Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany divided Eastern Europe between them.

The objective of the day of remembrance is to preserve the memory of the victims of mass deportations and exterminations, and at the same time, to root democracy more firmly and reinforce peace and stability in Europe
