Artwork paying homage to World War II heroes has been painted on buildings all over Russia in commemoration of Victory Day.
Russia celebrates Victory Day on 9 May — the anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany by Soviet forces in 1945. The festivities traditionally include a military parade on Moscow's Red Square. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the celebration and the parade have been postponed this year and are set to take place on 3 September.
