----------------------------------- Zarevich Domenica, 09 Maggio 2010, 22:32 9 MAGGIO: GIORNO DELLA VITTORIA ----------------------------------- Fabulous fireworks mark the end of V-day festivities Festivities have been held in Moscow throughout the day and were topped off by a spectacular fireworks display. The fireworks show kicked off at 22 00 Moscow time and crowds watched from a variety of sites in the capital. 4,500 fireworks lit up the Moscow sky. The tradition dates back to the war years of 1943-1945. At that time, fireworks marked all the victories reported in the media. That was a way to boost the morale of the nation and encourage troops for further achievements. Interestingly, the cannons used for fireworks were produced back in 1942-1943. Some of them have marks from enemy bombs. Небо Москвы раскрасил праздничный салют Победы Свыше 4,5 тысячи фейерверков было запущено за 15 минут во время салюта Победы 9 мая 2010 года.
