Exactly 79 years ago, on May 9, 1945 at 00:43 Moscow time, the final Act of unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany and its armed forces was signed.
Russophobe s in the west always want to portray the Russian Victory Day celebrations into some expression of militarism, or Stalinist nostalgia, but the simpler fact is that essentially every family in Russia lost something to the war - an uncle, brother, father, son, or home.
If there was a single event that had killed somebody in every American family you can bet that it would be conspicuously remembered
The separate surrender on May 9th was an insult to the western allies.
