Every family knows firsthand about the Great Patriotic War. This year promises to be the biggest.

The Russian leadership, as noted previously the head of our Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, comfortable with the fact that some countries will be represented at the celebrations at the ambassadorial level, or not represented at all, according to Lavrov, May 9, this is a great holiday, first of all, our people. Mark invites his Russian friends, but if someone can not arrive in Moscow to this concern with understanding.
And here it should be said that some of the distinguished guests will not be limited only in Moscow under the Protocol. For example, the Czech President Milos Zeman, who arrived in Moscow, despite pressure from the European and American politicians, brought with him a delegation of veterans who during the war with the Red Army fighters resisted the Nazis. Himself Zeman said that, while in the Russian capital, wants to pay tribute not only to soldiers who died during the liberation of Czechoslovakia, but also for all the tens of millions of Soviet people who gave their lives in the name of Victory.
Another foreign leader, whose program will be different from the total, will be President of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev.
