dpatop - 09 May 2019, Berlin: Children lay flowers in the Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park on the occasion of the 74th anniversary of Russia's victory in the Second World War. Russia celebrates the end of the war on 9 May, one day later than the West, because in 1945 the German surrender to the Soviet troops took place on the night of 8 to 9 May, at a time when midnight was over in Moscow.
