In twelve of the fifteen former USSR countries, the three Baltic States being the exceptions, Victory Day ^[1] marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in the Second World War (also known as the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union and some post-Soviet states). This surrender document was signed late in the evening on May 8, 1945 (May 9 by Moscow Time), following the original capitulation Germany agreed earlier to the joint Allied forces on the Western Front. The Soviet government announced the victory early on May 9 after the signing ceremony in Berlin^[2]. However, it is only since 1965 that Victory Day has been a holiday.
