Австралия: Руското общество в Сидни празнува деня на Победата

Victory Day 2015 celebrations began in Sydney's Memorial Park, Saturday. A large gathering of the surrounding area's Russian population came to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War II). Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Australia Vladimir Morozov spoke at the ceremony, saying that Victory Day is a "great" day not only for Russia but "in the history of mankind." Wreaths and floral tributes were also laid to honour those who lost their lives in the war. Victory Day events are taking place in all of Australia's six states, including one at Bondi Beach where a live transmission of the parade in Moscow will be broadcast.
