| About Victory Day |
| The Victory Day is celebrated on May 9 in Kazakhstan. Every May 9th in Russia is Victory Day, the celebration of defeating Nazi Germany in what Russians refer to as The Great Patriotic War. The day also serves as a memorial to the 20 million Soviet soldiers and civilians who died. May 9th serves as the day of anniversary since it was during the night of May 8-9, 1945 that the Nazi military ceded to the Soviet Union in Berlin. The date is a few weeks earlier than the signing of the official German surrender in June 1945 which western countries mark as V-E Day. Victory Day is the biggest holiday of the year in Russia, including a major military parade through Red Square. Tuesday 8 May 1945 was 'Victory in Europe' (VE) Day and it marked the formal end of Hitler's war. With it came the end of six years of misery, suffering, courage and endurance across the world. |
