Given how many casualties the Russians sustained during WWII, as well as the fact that they had the Germans invade, I'm not surprised at all the celbration. Here in the USA, it's not been a big item in the news. May have to see if I can rally my Kiwanis Club to do something to honor the Veterans in August.
