Victory in Europe Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces on May 8, 1945, marking the official end of World War II in Europe in the Eastern Front. Russia and some former Soviet countries celebrate on May 9. The German Instrument of Surrender was signed late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (May 9 Moscow Time). Although the official inauguration occurred in 1945, the holiday became a non-labor day only in 1965, and only in certain Soviet republics.
