On 3 September 2021, representatives of the Russian Embassy in London took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Soviet War Memorial, commemorating the 76th anniversary of the end of WWII.
76 years ago World War II ended. On 2 September 1945 (Tokyo time, 3 September in Russia), Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender, which meant that the horrific war was finally over. Today we remember those who made our common Victory possible. We must never let such events happen again.
Dear participants, Today we are commemorating a memorable anniversary of our shared history: 80 years ago, on this day the first Arctic convoy «Dervish» arrived in the port of Arkhangelsk with strategically important cargoes for the needs of the Red Army. The sailors of the Allied countries demonstrated true heroism, sending the aid by the shortest route in harsh Arctic conditions under enemy fire. Thus, in the first months of the war, which were the most difficult for the USSR, the Allies made a significant contribution to the fight of the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany. The courage, valor and strength of character of our peoples are a vivid example of «brotherhood in arms» and mutual assistance which united our countries against the German fascists. These glorious pages are forever inscribed in the history of our common victories.
The Embassy hosted the concert Tchaikovsky: 180 Seasons Later - a project by Russian pianist Victor Maslov and his fellow graduates and young talents from the Royal College of Music.
