On Sunday (11 May, 2025) in La Meridien Dhaka hotel the Embassy of Russia in Bangladesh organized a reception on the occasion of the Victory Day.
This year celebrations carry special significance since they mark the 80th anniversary of the Victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War on May 9, 1945. Mr Alexander Khozin, Ambassador of Russia to Bangladesh, and Mr Sattar Mia, Head of the National Group company and President of the Russian Friendship Society with Bangladesh, addressed the audience with welcoming words.
Ambassador highlighted the decisive role of the USSR in defeating Nazi Germany and liberating Eastern and Central Europe.
“Any attempts to distort the historical truth, to whitewash Nazi criminals and their accomplices, to diminish the role of the Soviet people in the victorious end of the war are blasphemous and must be stopped”, he stressed.
The cultural part of the program consisted of the performance by the Russian folk ensemble “Obraz” brought to Dhaka by the National Group company.
The repertoire included ballet and folk dances from different Russian regions.
The guests also enjoy the exhibition “Way to Victory” with archive photos of the key events of the Great Patriotic war.
High-ranking Bangladeshi officials, representatives of the diplomatic corps, media and bussiness communities attended the reception.
Each guest received a set of memorable gifts.
