(3 Sep 2020) Members of the Russian Communist Party and left-wing activists celebrated in Moscow on Thursday the 75th anniversary of Russia's victory over Japan in World War II.
Russian Communist Party General Secretary Gennady Zyuganov laid down flowers at the grave of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin at the Kremlin.
The biggest contribution to defeating "fascism and Japanese militarism" was made by the Soviet Union, Zyuganov said.
A procession was held to mark the occasion, where party members also laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
World War II ended 75 years ago, but not all countries commemorate it on the same day.
Some nations mark August 15 as the war's end, the day Japan's emperor made a speech announcing the surrender.
