The 9th of May: Victory Day

Yesterday the whole country celebrated Victory day. The 9th of May is the day when the Russians recollect the victory in the Great Patriotic War (22 June 1941 - 9 May 1945) over fascists. This time I met the 9th of May in my hometown Krasnogorsk. I visited the main places of celebrations.
The 68th Anniversary celebration programm started with an official ceremony at the Eternal flame. Representatives of Municipal Administration and other local structures congratulated veterans and inhabitants of the town. Aleksander Zaldostanov, the President of  bike club "Night Wolves" said a few warm words for veterans. In the end of the ceremony all participants and guests laid wreaths and flowers by the Eternal flame and remembered countrymen who died 68 years ago.
After that all festivities passed to our local concert hall. A big square near the hall was full od people. Some of them went to amusement park with children, some people sat in the open-air cafe, some people visited a concert. But not so long after the concert begun people preferred to start dancing. Veterans were the most active dancers. They were wonderful, beautiful and very cheerful.
The Victory day finished with fireworks which caused applauses of everybody who saw it.
