Looking back to move forward


SEPT 3 is the 76th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (WWII). Even though we celebrate the success of the Allies in defeating the Axis powers in 1945, we also feel deep sorrow that almost every country on earth suffered the horrors of this war.

For Russia (then the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and China, the number of soldiers and civilians who died during WWII was more than half of the global death toll, estimated at 70 to 85 million.
