May 9th in Russia.
Today we hit the streets and basically pats ourselves on the back for defeating Nazi Germany.
During Hitler's seige of Leningrad (now Saint-Petersburg) an average 20,000 people died during the winter months. The overall figures vary but Russia's population dropped by about 30million, give or take, during WWII. some figures are slightly higher (up to 40) some slightly lower (down to 20).
The level of pain and suffering that has been felt in Russia since the revolution in 1918 is all-consuming and the citizens who endured the blockade of Leningrad deserve serious praise.
С ДНЁМ ПОБЕДЫ!
(Happy Victory Day!)
