🇷🇺 A photo exhibition “Chronicle of Events in the Far East”, dedicated to the 81st anniversary of the Victory over militarist Japan and the end of the Second World War, has opened at the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Namibia.

The exhibition highlights the final stage of the Second World War and focuses on the events that unfolded in the Far East in August–September 1945. Particular attention is paid to the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation, the defeat of the Kwantung Army, and the decisive contribution of the Red Army to achieving the final Victory.

The materials on display pay tribute to the feat of the Soviet soldiers. Their selflessness and military valour became one of the key factors in bringing the most devastating war in history to an end and laying the foundations of the post-war international order.

On 9 August 1945, Soviet forces launched the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation, defeating Japan’s powerful Kwantung Army.

The defeat of Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea, as well as in Southern Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, deprived Japan of the military footholds and bases it had built up over many years in preparation for aggression against the Soviet Union. Deprived of its continental military support and resources, Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender on 2 September 1945.

As the Red Army liberated the Far East, Soviet servicemen witnessed evidence of atrocities committed by the Japanese occupiers during their retreat. At the same time, Soviet military commandants helped restore order and normal life in the liberated cities.

By accepting the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, Japan agreed to the immediate cessation of hostilities and the unconditional surrender of all Japanese and Japanese-controlled armed forces. The Japanese Government and Imperial General Headquarters were also ordered to immediately release all Allied prisoners of war and civilian internees.

The Second World War lasted six years and claimed an estimated 75–80 million lives. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people, both military personnel and civilians — the greatest human losses suffered by any country participating in the war.

The victory over the aggressors saved humanity from fascist and militarist domination, paved the way for the creation of the United Nations and shaped the course of global development for decades to come.

In Russia, 3 September is commemorated as the Day of Victory over Militarist Japan and the End of the Second World War (1945).

◾️ On September 1-3, 2004, Russia endured one of the most horrific tragedies in its modern history – the inhuman Beslan terrorist attack.

22 years ago, a festive back-to-school ceremony at School No.1 was shattered by bursts of gunfire.

The terrorists took 1,128 people hostage – children, their parents and teachers. They were forced into a cramped gymnasium, which the terrorists turned into a deadly trap. For nearly three days, the hostages were held at gunpoint without food or water.

For hundreds of families, those three days lasted an eternity.

During the counterterrorism operation, 811 people were rescued. But, to our great sorrow, not all could be saved.

🕯 The terrorist attack claimed 334 lives, including 186 children.

We remember and mourn the children, their parents and teachers who perished during those terrible September days. We bow our heads before the courage of those who entered the school rigged with explosives, carried children out under fire and rescued hostages, risking and sacrificing their own lives.

Beslan will forever remain our shared pain – a wound that does not heal with time.

As President of Russia Vladimir Putin said on September 4, 2004:

«What happened in Beslan was an inhuman terrorist crime, unprecedented in its cruelty. It was a challenge to all of Russia, to our entire people. It was an attack on our country.

The terrorists believe they are stronger than us. That they can intimidate us with their cruelty, paralyse our will and tear our society apart. And it may seem that we have a choice – to fight back or accept their demands. To surrender, to allow Russia to be destroyed and torn apart in the hope that they will eventually leave us alone.

I am convinced that in reality we simply have no choice.

We were and always will be stronger than them – through our moral values, our courage and our human solidarity. I saw that again last night».

***

In memory of the victims of Beslan and other terrorist attacks, Russia observes the Day of Solidarity in the Fight Against Terrorism on September 3.

On this day, we remember all our compatriots who were killed by terrorists in Beslan, at Dubrovka, in Budyonnovsk, in the apartment bombings in Moscow, Buynaksk and Volgodonsk, in the horrific Crocus City Hall tragedy, at the hands of Ukrainian militants in Donbass and the Kursk Region, in other terrorist attacks.

❗️ Russia considers it its duty to consistently combat international terrorism, promote the consolidation of international efforts against this pure evil and counter all its manifestations – including those perpetrated by neo-Nazis in Ukraine and other ideological followers of misanthropic ideologies.

“Despite the hybrid war unleashed against us – against Russia and the Russian people – by the “collective West”, including through terrorist and extremist groups of all stripes, Russia remains firmly committed to a principled fight against the terrorist threat and to strengthening counterterrorism security, relying on cooperation with partners genuinely interested in this work”.
