The Victory in the Great Patriotic War is a heroic feat of the Soviet people, an example of unity, solidarity, selflessness and love for the Motherland.
The first days of the war demonstrated that neither the surprise of the attack nor the heavy blows of the enemy could break the will and steadfastness of the Soviet people. Having passed through years of trials, the Red Army took Berlin by storm on May 2 of 1945 and hoisted the Great Victory Banner over the Reichstag. The Act of Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany was signed in the suburbs of Berlin on May 8, 1945 at 22:43 Central European time (May 9 at 00:43 Moscow time). The Victory in the Great Patriotic War ensured freedom for new generations.
The year of 2025 has been declared in the CIS countries the Year of the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as the Year of Peace and Unity in the fight against Nazism. Victory Day will forever remain a day of remembrance and gratitude to all those who gave their lives for our peaceful future, who returned to their homeland with victory, who spent days and nights forging it on the home front.
