Victory Day marks the day when Germany surrendered from WW2. Today it means no work, no school, a parade & veterans around the city.....
(In Soviet times, attending the parade was mandatory)
We headed to the Motherland statue - the base of which is a WW2 Memorial - to check out the festivities
The place was packed with people honoring those who fought
Giving veterans flowers.....
(With the dwindling population of veterans, flower givers often had to wait their turn)
And outwardly showing their spirit....
But like anything in Kyiv, there was no clear dress standard & the range of outfits was wide. 2 I enjoyed....
Sexy Lady look:
Expressive Man look:
(bad shot - but his t-shirt reads "BEDucated" in English!)
3 cheers to Victory Day - here's to a world with no weapons & using our words to solve problems. Peace out!
