SPECTACULAR Victory Day Fireworks Light Up Moscow Sky (VIDEO)

19:01 GMT 09.05.2019 (Updated: 19:07 GMT 09.05.2019)

Fireworks explode over the Kremlin, with St. Basil's cathedral, center, marking the Day of Russia in Moscow, Russia, Friday, June 12, 2009 - Sputnik International

Earlier on Thursday, a military parade took place in Moscow's Red Square during which sophisticated Russian military hardware, including tanks and missile systems, was displayed.

Splendid fireworks have been launched on 9 May to commemorate the 74th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in the 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War.

The Great Patriotic War, which constituted part of the Second World War of 1939-1945, began at dawn on 22 June 1941, when Nazi Germany attacked the USSR, violating the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty of 1939.
