"★With a mixed feeling of joy and grief, young and old are flooding the streets all across Russia and former Soviet states to commemorate those millions who sacrificed their lives to save the whole humanity from the Nazis 69 years ago.
★Parades big and small will of course showcase Russia’s current military might, but first of all will honor the sacrifice of some 27 million Soviet citizens that perished during the national struggle against Nazi Germany. The main national parade, as always is taking place in Moscow’s Red Square.
And this is the first time when Crimea is celebrating this holy day as a part of Russia, a big parade will be held in Crimea today too.
☭Glory to the red army, glory to USSR."
