Celebrating 80 years of Russia's Victory Day

Cape Argus

May 09, 2025

AMBASSADORS, local politicians, and the public gathered at The Fairtree Atterbury Theatre in Pretoria on Wednesday night to celebrate Victory Day, marking 80 years since the end of World War II.

- RAPULA MOATSHE

The event was hosted by Russian Ambassador Roman Ambarov, who represented the Russian Federation in South Africa and Lesotho, in anticipation of Moscow’ official Victory Day celebrations today.

Russia will celebrate Victory Day as its most significant secular holiday marked by grand parades through Red Square and other ceremonies.

For Russia, Victory Day is more than just a ceasefire commemoration but also a potent symbol of courage and unity prevailing over Nazi ideology, which was rooted in hatred and disregard for human life.
