80 years ago, on 22 June 1941 Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, without a declaration of war. This marked the beginning of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. On this day we remember those who sacrificed their lives for us and for today's blue sky.
We hope you enjoy our festive concert of classical music with performances by Nadey Hakim (clarinet), Aleem Kandur (violin), Victor Maslov (piano), Haydn Bateman (guitar) and Nina Mishchenko (harp). Your hosts for the evening will be Anastasia and Ilya Erofeev.
On this day we celebrate our national holiday Russia Day. Russia is home to more than 190 ethnicities and unique cultures, 11 time and 7 climate zones. We tried to cram its vast expanse and enigmatic beauty anto a 10-minute short. Enjoy our modest attempt!
On 9 May 2021 Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin gave an address at the Victory Day ceremony at the Soviet War Memorial in London, marking the 76th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
Dear compatriots! I wish to congratulate everyone on the 76th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War! The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. The foundations of the modern world order are rooted in our Victory over Nazism. The legacy of the Great Victory remains relevant to this day: Europe and the world free from Nazism were made possible by the incredible act of heroism of the Soviet soldiers and the peoples of our country. Let us not forget how, in the face of ordeals, the Allies have joined forces for the sake of peace and humanity.
