Some Embassies are used to organize military parades and exhibitions to showcase Russia’s military might and honor the brave soldiers who fought in the war. Cultural events, such as concerts and film screenings, also used to be held to promote Russian culture and celebrate the holiday.

The Victory Day celebrations at Russian Embassies around the world serve as a testament to the country’s enduring respect for its history and its commitment to promoting patriotism and unity among its citizens living abroad.
