Russia celebrates victory over Nazi Germany on May 9; it is one of the most important days in the country. But not everyone in Russia is in the mood to celebrate.
Derailed trains, burning fuel depots, cut power lines, plus the allegedly attempted drone attack on Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin have overshadowed Moscow's preparations for the "Victory Day" celebrations. Nevertheless, the preparations continued – the big military parade this Tuesday will take place. Putin is also said to be there. There is moral support for Putin from the ex-Soviet bloc.
