WWII Veteran
On Monday Russia celebrated 65th Anniversary of the end of World War II. Throughout the war, former Soviet Union lost over 20 million people. Russians saw war first hand. St Petersburg was under siege by the Germans for 3 years. The city was cut off from the world. No heat, no electricity, no running water, no food. A very dark page in the history of St Petersburg.
On Monday, each city had a Victory Day Parade, showing their military, artillery and veterans doing their heroic walk down the main street. Our team from Trinity Western University also went to celebrate this historic day in history when the fascist were stopped 65 years ago.
Take a look at this video of how Russians celebrated on the Red Square in Moscow.
