⭐️ September 3 is observed annually in Russia as the Day of Victory over Militaristic Japan and the End of the Second World War.

On August 9, 1945, the USSR entered the war against Japan, an ally of Nazi Germany that had unleashed aggression across the Asia-Pacific region. In less than a month, the Soviet Armed Forces carried out a decisive liberation campaign in the Far East, including in China and Korea, which had been occupied by Japanese militarists.

Drawing on extensive military experience and strategic expertise, the Soviet people made a decisive contribution to bringing the Second World War to an end and helped lay the foundations for the modern system of international relations, with the United Nations at its core.

To commemorate this Day of Military Glory, the Embassy of Russia in Pakistan presents a virtual photo exhibition entitled “Japan’s Surrender and the End of the Second World War,” prepared by Russia’s Victory Museum.

The exhibition features frontline sketches, posters and photographs that combine remarkable artistic expression with historical testimony.

Together, they tell the story of the courage, bravery and heroism of the Red Army in its fight against the last major stronghold of the Axis powers in the Asia-Pacific region.
