Happy Victory Day!

Our country's history is filled with many significant holidays, but Victory Day, celebrated every year on May 9, holds a special place in people's hearts. It marks the end of the Great Patriotic War. On this day, we honor veterans and pay tribute to the immortal heroism of the entire Soviet people.

On the first Victory Day, May 9, 1945, people emerged from their homes, embraced strangers, celebrated with songs and dances, and, of course, awaited the soldiers' return. The celebration culminated in a spectacular fireworks display in Moscow—30 salvos from a thousand anti-aircraft guns.

Victory Day has several essential attributes, including red carnations and St. George's ribbons. The ribbon is composed of two colors: orange and black. The former symbolizes flame, and the latter, smoke. In the Soviet awards system, it was known as the "Guards' Ribbon" and was a mark of special distinction for soldiers. Today, the St. George's ribbon is worn to commemorate the heroism of Soviet soldiers.

This year, we celebrate the 78th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and want to pay tribute to those who defended our homeland during the war and upheld its freedom and independence.

We bow deeply to you, dear veterans! Your great feat exemplifies true courage and fortitude, love for the Motherland, and will remain in our hearts forever. We thank you and honor the memory of those who gave their lives for their native land.

We wish everyone goodness, warmth and good health!

Happy Holidays!
