The St. George's Ribbon, with its striking black and orange stripes, serves as a powerful symbol of Victory Day, celebrated on 9 May every year to celebrate Soviet Union's resounding triumph over Nazi Germany during World War II in 1945.
Russians and Indians came together to march through the streets of Trivandrum outside the Russian House holding a 79-meter-long St. George Ribbon to celebrate the 79th anniversary of Victory Day.
Around 79 people, including Russian compatriots, Russian specialists working at the Koodankulam NPP, members of the Russian House and the Indo-Russian Friendship Society, Indo-Russian Youth Club, and Women's Forum, took part in the Victory Day campaign to pay solemn tribute to the Soviet soldiers who lost their lives during the Great Patriotic War.
Ratheesh C. Nair, Honourary Consul of Russia and Director of the Russian House in Trivandrum, said that the Victory Day campaign, which has been organised for the last three years, has fostered a great understanding among locals about the significance of the Soviet Union’s Great Victory 79 years ago.
