United States WWII veteran Igor Belousovich recalled the US-Red Army link-up on the Elbe River during an interview in Moscow on Saturday. The WWII veteran recalled the atmosphere of joy that pervaded the meeting of Soviet and American troops on the Elbe River on April 25, 1945, which marked a key moment in securing the downfall of the Third Reich. Belousovich, who himself is a descendent of Russian immigrants, recalled that "everybody slapped each other on the shoulder and smiled." Belousovich received his MA in Slavic Studies from Berkeley. He has worked at Georgetown University, Library of Congress and Department of State.
