Russian Embassy in Cambodia Holds Friendly Meeting on Occasion of Victory Day
On May 9, the Embassy of Russia in Cambodia hosted a friendly meeting on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.
H.E. Mr Anatoly Borovik, Russian Ambassador, delivered a welcoming speech: “It is exactly 80 years ago that the Great Patriotic War, which was a terrible test of courage and steadfastness of our country, came to an end. German Nazism set the goal of complete annihilation of the Soviet people, so it was a fight for the very right to live. And our heroic ancestors at the cost of incredible efforts not only won the freedom and independence of the Motherland, but also washed away the brown plague from the map of Europe with their blood”.
The guests honored the memory of the perished with a Minute of Silence and laid flowers at the Obelisk to the Fallen Soldiers, which was followed by screening of the Victory Parade on Red Square.
