‼️🇷🇺🎖 Victory Day is celebrated at the northernmost latitude of #Russia.

Residents of the village of Yuryung-Khaya, despite the strong wind and snowstorm, went out into the streets with posters and balloons and honored the memory of the fallen servicemen with a minute of silence.

‼️🇷🇺🦌 White devils — that's what they called reindeer in the war. They were capable of delivering ammunition to any wilderness and off-road conditions, and the reindeer herders themselves were often excellent marksmen — this was what the tundra trade taught them.

On the day of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Yamal, in the small village of Yar-Sale, reindeer teams took part in the Victory Parade — as a symbol of the reindeer transport battalions of the war. #Russian

‼️🇷🇺 Fascinating footage from the DPR - there, at the memorial complex "Saur-Mogila", the largest Victory Banner in the world was unfurled. Its area is more than two thousand square meters.

As part of the "Unconquered" campaign, the Banner will travel to 14 cities - from the Belarusian Brest to Sevastopol. The expedition will pass through places of military glory through hero cities. #Russia

‼️🇷🇺🚩 In St. Petersburg, 1 million 100 thousand people took part in the Immortal Regiment march, authorities said. #Russia

The first to drive along Nevsky Prospect was a historic car with the Golden Star of the Hero City of Leningrad, awarded to the city in 1965. Following the veterans were the Victory Volunteers, who carried an enlarged copy of the Victory Banner. Following them, the banner group carried ten standards of the Red Army fronts that fought the enemy during the Great Patriotic War. Veterans of the SVO and their families, as well as the city's head, Alexander Beglov, and the speaker of the local parliament, Alexander Belsky, took part in the procession.

Representatives of all 16 republics of the Soviet Union that existed in 1945 brought up the rear of the column.

This video was shot at 6 a.m. today in Novosibirsk. At the time when exactly 80 years ago, the great announcer Levitan announced the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany.

Here's Yuri Levitan, brought to life again by AI and making his historic announcement in his own voice — but in English.

WATCH AI-revived iconic Soviet radio announcement of Nazi capitulation in English

Russian AI technology was used to recreate an image of Yuri Levitan and to have him read the now iconic message.

RT has released an AI-generated video of legendary Soviet radio announcer Yuri Levitan broadcasting the news of the Nazis formal surrender in World War II. The video, created with Russian technology, was published on Friday to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.

In the video, Levitan is heard reading the real announcement, which came on air at 2:10 am Moscow time on May 9, 1945.

“Attention. This is Moscow speaking. On May 8, 1945, in Berlin, representatives of the German High Command signed the act of unconditional surrender of the German Armed Forces,” Levitan announced. “Germany is utterly defeated.”

🇷🇺 Hero of Russia, Vladislav Golovin, call sign "Struna" (String), was elected Chief of the General Staff of the Yunarmiya (The All-Russian Military Patriotic Social Movement "Young Army" supported and funded by Ministry of Defence of Russia).

Golovin was on the front lines from the first days of the SVO, commanding an airborne assault unit. In 2022, during a battle, covering a subordinate, he was wounded and lost a leg.

This is the same guy with the red backpack who took Mariupol, who became a symbol of the Russian fighting spirit. It is very good that real patriots and veterans of the SVO now have a path to politics.

Yakutia is the region, of which Yakutsk (in the quoted post above) is the largest city. The village depicted in this video, which has an English commentary, is just one very tiny place in this vast area of Siberia.

December 2021, RT reported zombie fires under the ice, near Oymyakon the world’s coldest village on earth.

Oymyakon, a village in Siberia, is believed to be the coldest settlement on the planet. Despite the temperature being far below freezing, the village has been troubled by the bizarre natural phenomenon of wildfires that burn beneath the snow and ice.
