The Immortal Regiment March is an annual tradition that takes place on Victory Day in many countries worldwide. It honours the memory of those who served in the Red Army by carrying portraits of soldiers and laying flowers at memorials.
Victory Day commemorates Nazi Germany's surrender at the end of World War II, known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War. Russia and Eastern countries traditionally mark the day on May 9, while in Europe it is May 8, due to the time difference in the signing of the capitulation.
