Russia celebrates a Victory Day

Unbelievable you celebrate this...
Imagine I would beat a boy with at least 7 of my friends,and would celebrate this,...sorry in my eyes rediculus.
Have a look at the map and compare Germany at this times and Russia at this time, not mentioning the soldier count wich were 1/7 in the beginning and 1/20 since 1944....ashame ,ashame....
But well another artefact by Stalin I guess, although the win vs Napoleon was much more worth.

However for the people best wishes for the free times, no matter what reason the holiday was founded on.

If this is a Joke it is not very funny. 27 Millian Russian died in the war that was caused by Hitler and the Nazi regime. They are entitled to celebrate in any way that choose.

By far no joke.
It is celebrated by all kinds with military parades to present the power etc.
The victims are not regarded but the political leaders of each era past it.
It is called a celebration day not a day of mourning, what it actually should.
The war is the reason that people died, and Germany did the primary strike, no question.
Sending unarmed people into the line of fire by politruks made the victims that high it became.
The sad reason is actually not the war but the relationship from commuism politics attitudes to its own people, started already in early 30s.
However we dont celebrate our 27mil vicitms but our success. Which is so dedicated to the russian politics...

It has actually been quite interesting to see how many public holidays they have. We've got Mayday on monday and a 2 day bank holiday in June for the Jubilllee.

As to the patch the list of bugs wasn't minor and I'm not expecting anything. Add to that the RoF update has been put back a week and its looking more like that grass is going to get cut this weekend after all.

All these countries fought with us, with their troops or/and factories.

Soldier count is lie.
