Russia to celebrate victory of the Great Patriotic War

If Russia is to take any action in Eastern Ukraine surely it will be on Thursday/Friday.

On May 8/9 1945 in Karlshorst Marshal General Georgii Zhukov accepted the unconditional surrender of the German High Command. Keitel signed the 'Instrumment of Surrender' on behalf of Nazi Germany.

Anyone who has ever visited the museum at Karlshorst must feel for all the suffering that was inflicted on Russian citizens in the 20th century.
