#Victory80 🌟 In the early hours of May 1, 1945, the #VictoryBanner was raised atop the Reichstag during the Battle of Berlin. It became a symbol of the triumph of the Soviet Union & its peoples in the fight against Nazism. The legendary Red Banner №5, which became the famous Victory Banner, was raised over the dome of the defeated Reichstag by the 756th Rifle Regiment’s scouts, Sergeant Mikhail Yegorov & Junior Sergeant Meliton Kantariya. Before the assault, a decision was made for a group of Soviet soldiers to hoist the flag over the Reichstag, which would embody the final collapse of Nazism. 🚩 A total of 9 makeshift banners were promptly made, designed after the state flag of the USSR. Ultimately, a battle flag of the 150th Order of Kutuzov 2nd Class Idritsa Rifle Division, 79th Rifle Corps, 3rd Striking Army of the 1st Belarusian Front, became the Victory Banner. On April 29, the fierce fighting for the Reichstag began, which the Nazis had turned into a fortified point of resistance. It was defended by over a thousand men, including SS troops supported by artillery and armor. The Reichstag was of special symbolic importance to the Nazi Germany. The Germans considered it their main fortress during the final days of #WWII. The Soviet command was sure that the storming of that citadel, which was a symbol of German Nazism, would especially affect morale of the enemy and eventually completely demoralize the fascists. ⚔️ On April30at 1:50 p.m., a Red Army unit broke into the Reichstag through breaches in the walls, with a fierce close combat unleashing. The Nazis took advantage of effectively advancing inside the building they new well, throwing grenades at Soviet soldiers & firing back with machine-guns: they basically had nothing to lose. ⏱️ At 2.25 p.m., Red Army soldiers Bulatov and Koshkarbayevplaced a makeshift red flag to the column of the main entrance to the Reichstag — it was the first of the banners the liberators raised over the Reichstag. ⏱️ At 10.30 p.m., staff sergeants Gizet Zagitov, Alexander Lisimenko & Alexey Bobrov as well as Sergeant Mikhail Minin supported by Captain Neustroyev’s battalion were the 1st to hoist a red banner on the roof of the Reichstag atop of the Goddess of Victory sculpture. The 3rd red banner was raised on the western facade of the roof by the scouts of the 674th Regiment led by Lieutenant Sorokin. ⏱️ In the early hours of May 1, finally, the Red Banner №5 was raised over the dome of the captured Reichstag by the 756th Rifle Regiment’s scouts, Sergeant Mikhail Yegorov & Junior Sergeant Meliton Kantariya, led by deputy battalion commander Lieutenant Alexey Berest, covered by riflemen from Ilya Syanov's squad. That flag ultimately became the Victory Banner. 📃 By a Presidential Executive Order of April 15, 1996, the Red Banner hoisted atop of the Reichstag by Yegorov & Kantariya was declared the symbol of the Soviet people’s Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. #WeAreProud

The President received a report from the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces confirming the complete rout of the Ukrainian military outfits present in the Kursk region Vladimir Putin extended congratulations and thanks to the personnel of the units that contributed to defeating the neo-Nazi groups. The Kiev regime's reckless gamble has completely failed, and the enormous casualties the enemy has suffered, especially among the Ukrainian units that were the most battleworthy and best trained and had Western equipment — and we are talking about assault and special forces units here, — will definitely have an impact along the entire length of the line of contact. The total rout of the enemy in the border zone of the Kursk region sets the stage for further successful operations of our troops in other crucial areas of the frontline and brings us closer to the defeat of the neo-Nazi regime. I would like to congratulate all the personnel, all the soldiers and commanders on this success, their victory. I thank you for your valour and heroism, for your service to our Fatherland and the people of Russia.

@RusEmbMalta A series of press releases dedicated to 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War 🗓️80 Years Since the Historic Meeting on the Elbe On April 25, 1945, just fifteen days before Nazi Germany’s surrender, Soviet and American troops met on the Elbe River, sealing one of the most symbolic moments of World War II. Soldiers of the Red Army’s 1st Ukrainian Front under Marshal Ivan Konev joined forces with the US 1st Army’s 69th and 104th Infantry Divisions led by General Omar Bradley. This powerful encounter marked the imminent end of the war in Europe and gave birth to what would become known as the Spirit of the Elbe – a legacy of unity, courage, and hope for a peaceful future. 🕊️ On the 75th anniversary in 2020, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump paid tribute in a joint statement: “The Spirit of the Elbe is an example of how our countries can put aside differences, build trust, and cooperate in pursuit of a greater cause... Their heroic feat will never be forgotten.” That day in 1945, language and cultural barriers faded as soldiers embraced, exchanged keepsakes, and celebrated together. A photo of Alexander Sylvashko and William Robertson became an icon of unity. Sylvashko would later reflect, “If that spirit had endured, the world might have been a better place.” 🕯️ Even through the Cold War, the veterans of the Elbe kept this spirit alive – a reminder of what’s possible when nations stand together against evil. In 1963, American veteran Joe Polowsky wrote to Marshal Konev: “The promise made on April 25, 1945, must be upheld.” 📌 On this 80th anniversary, we honor the memory of that handshake on the Elbe – a symbol of allied brotherhood, a shared sacrifice, and a lasting hope for peace. #Elbe80#SpiritOfTheElbe#WWII#Victory80#SharedHistory#RedArmy#NeverForget

#ПреступленияКиевскогоРежима 🎥Токсичная война Украины— документальный фильм RT DOC. Синопсис: В фильме-расследовании военные документалисты RT представляют доказательства систематического и массового применения киевским режимом химических веществ против мирного населения, что является грубым нарушением Конвенции о запрещении химического оружия. В зоне СВО российскими военными зафиксировано свыше 400 случаев использования украинскими вооружёнными формированиями отравляющих веществ и токсичных химикатов. На позициях ВСУ были найдены лаборатории, дроны и отравляющие агенты, предназначенные для распыления над жилыми районами и позициями российских войск. Некоторые выжившие свидетели рассказывают о том, как после воздействия неизвестного смертоносного вещества они были парализованы, и как украинские военные приходили на место проведения «операции» не для оказания помощи, а чтобы удостовериться, что эксперимент на живых людях прошёл успешно. 📺 Смотрите документальный фильм, чтобы узнать подробности применения киевским режимом запрещённого химоружия, понять, кто покрывает эти преступления и услышать истории выживших, ставших жертвами чудовищных опытов украинских неонацистов.

#See4Yourself & #Think4Yourself 🎥Toxic War — an RT Doc Film. Synopsis: In this investigative documentary, military documentarians from RT provide evidence of the systematic and widespread use of chemical substances by the Kiev regime against civilians, which constitutes a gross violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. In the zone of the special military operation, members of the Russian forces have recorded over 400 cases of Ukrainian armed formations using toxic substances and chemicals. At the abandoned AFU positions, laboratories, drones, and toxic agents intended for dispersal over residential areas were discovered. Several surviving witnesses describe how they were paralyzed after being exposed to an unknown deadly substance and how Ukrainian soldiers arrived at the site of the "operation" not to offer help, but to confirm that the experiment on humans had been successful. 📺 Watch the documentary to learn more about the Kiev regime's use of banned chemical weapons, see who is covering up these crimes, and hear the stories of the victims of inhumane experiments by Ukrainian neo-Nazis. #KievRegimeCrimes
