Today is Victory Day. Everybody is out to celebrate the defeat of the Nazis at the end of WWII. There are military parades on land and in the air, parades of families showing placards of their loved ones lost in the war, music of the era, music of today, fireworks..............the city is alive. While we were not among the elite who actually got to see the military parades, access being restricted, we saw what we could on the fringes.
The overall patriotism is astounding. As our host in the hotel restaurant told us, "Today we are in the Soviet Union, tomorrow we will be back in Russia."
