Russia, Moscow, Tuesday, May 9, 2017. Cold and rainy Victory Day. Still people go to Gorky park to celebrate it and to pay tribute to the memory of defenders of the Motherland. Many people take carnation and rose flowers to present them to veterans. The sad fact is that it is not an easy task to meet a WWII veteran in the street. Age is taking its toll. The Victory Day is really a misty-eyed festival. General Panfilov's rifle division of Guards which distinguish itself in Battle for Moscow. Just post-war era veterans. Children of WWII veterans.
