    Solution

    Russia celebrates 09 may as Victory day to commemorate the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II. It was first celebrated in 1965 under Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. It was occasionally marked in the Soviet era and revived by President Boris Yeltsin for the 50th anniversary in 1995. In 2008, Vladimir Putin made it an annual event featuring military hardware. 2022 marks the 77th anniversary of Victory day.
