Британська розвідка пояснила, чому у Росії скасували ходу Безсмертного полку 9 травня

BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 09: Russian-speaking people march from the Brandenburg Gate with portraits of Soviet soldiers who fought in World War II and a banner that reads: "the immortal regiment" to the Soviet World War II memorial at Tiergarten Park on Russia's Victory Day, which marks the Soviet and Allied victory over Nazi Germany and the end of World War II, on May 9, 2023 in Berlin, Germany. While most countries mark VE Day on May 8, Russia, due to the time zone difference and the timing of when Nazi Germany capitulated, commemorates its victory traditionally on May 9. Gatherings, including at Soviet war memorials, have been taking place across Berlin today and yesterday with a large police presence on hand to prevent confrontations between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian groups. A Berlin court's decision to allow Russian and Soviet flags to be shown at the memorial sites has been overturned, so the ban is back in place. Berlin has a number of Soviet war memorials that commemorate the tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers, among them Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, who died in the final weeks of World War II during the Battle of Berlin. Berlin today also has significant Russian and Ukrainian populations. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
