May 9 is  Victory Day in Russia, a national holiday which

remembers the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II and honours 20 million Soviets who died in the war. 

The fighting of World War II in Europe ended

on May 2nd, 1945. The surrender of German troops was signed on May 4th and 5th but officially the war ended at midnight on May 8th 1945. To remember this important event, it was created a national holiday called Victory Day which is celebrated on May 9th in Russia. 

9 holiday was introduced in 1945, starting from 1947 it

was not officially celebrated for many years and was a working day. It became widely celebrated in the USSR only twenty years later, in the jubilee year of 1965, when the Victory Day again turned to be a rest day.
