Victims of Communism Day

HCR 59 is a commemorative resolution proposing to designate November 7, 2025, and each subsequent year as "Victims of Communism Memorial Day" in West Virginia. The resolution recognizes historical victims of communist regimes, referencing the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and citing the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. It does not create new laws or directly affect any specific group; instead, it formally designates an annual day of remembrance. The resolution directs the House Clerk to transmit a copy to the memorial foundation and post the designation on the legislature's website. This is a symbolic gesture, not a policy change with concrete effects.
