Russian President Vladimir Putin and foreign leaders laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Kremlin wall after the Victory Day parade on Moscow’s Red Square commemorating the 79th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s Victory over Nazi Germany in the 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War.

After the Victory Day parade, the head of the Russian state, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of Guinea-Bissau Umaro Sissoco Embalo, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov, President of Cuba Miguel Diaz-Canel, President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov and President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev walked through Red Square to the Kremlin’s Alexander Garden.

The Russian president and the leaders of foreign states laid a wreath of dark red roses intertwined with the St. George ribbon at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a national WWII military memorial of honor. The remains of the Unknown Soldier were transferred from a mass grave near Moscow and re-buried in a solemn ceremony in the Alexander Garden at the Kremlin wall in 1966. The memorial integrating the Eternal Flame and an alley of hero cities as its key elements was opened the next year. The memorial was subsequently expanded with a monument to Russian cities of military glory. The Guard of Honor was posted here in 1997 and is now Post No. 1.
