Die ZEIT - 9 Mai, Treptower Park, Berlin
Russian Victory Day - Soviet War memorial, Treptower Park, Berlin, 9th May 2022.
Every year the fall of German fascism at the end of the Second World War is celebrated by the Russian community at the site where 7,000 Soviet soldiers are buried in the heart of the German capital.
Due to the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, the usual ceremony is carried out under heightened emotions and police presence: drawing a spectrum of people from pro-Putin propagandists to anti-war protesters re-staging the Bucha massacre (2022, Ukraine).
