Activities to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War in the United States have started.

This is not a dream! A series of events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War will be held in Washington, USA!

A Russian military drama "Assassination," reflecting the Battle of Glev, was held at the Russian Cultural Center in Washington, the capital of the United States on August 22.

The director of the center, Olga Golovchenko, said: "We will continue to hold a series of activities to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Today, we are screening the film 'Glev,' which is based on the story of the front-line writer Vyacheslav Kondratiev, and shows the difficult choices people faced during the war."

Olga Golovchenko emphasized that the film festival opened the commemorative activities for the Great Patriotic War, and also paid tribute to the Russian flag: "We have gathered on a very important day today, it is the Day of the Russian Flag, one of the main symbols of Russia. In 1991, this flag flew over the government buildings in Moscow, thus restoring the historical symbol - the Russian tricolor."

Those who attended today's movie screening included Russians living in the United States, diplomats from the Russian Embassy in Washington, and American citizens.
