Victory Day〔(ロシア語:День Победы, ''Den' Pobedy''); (ウクライナ語:День Перемоги, ''Den' Peremohy''); (ベラルーシ語:Дзень Перамогі, ''Dzień Pieramohi''); (カザフ語:Жеңіс Күні, ''Jeñis Küni''); (キルギス語:Жеңиш майрамы, ''Jengish Mayramy''); (ウズベク語:Gʻalaba kuni); (アゼルバイジャン語:Gələbə günü); (グルジア語:გამარჯვების დღე, ''gamarjvebis dghe''); (アルメニア語:Հաղթանակի օրը, ''Haght’anaki ory''); (リトアニア語:Pergalės diena); ; (ラトビア語:Uzvaras diena); (タジク語:Рӯзи Ғалаба, ''Rūzi Ghalaba''); (エストニア語:Võidupäev); 〕 or 9 May is a holiday that commemorates the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union at the end of Second World War, known in the Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War. It was first inaugurated in the 16〔There were 16 republics in the USSR on May 8, 1945. The Karelo-Finnish SSR was abolished in 1956 only.〕 republics of the Soviet Union, following the signing of the surrender document late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (after midnight, thus on 9 May Moscow Time). The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin.〔Ziemke Further reading(CHAPTER XV:The Victory Sealed ) Page 258 last 2 paragraphs〕 Though the official inauguration occurred in 1945 the holiday became a non-labour day only in 1965 and only in certain Soviet republics. In East Germany, 8 May was observed as "Liberation Day" from 1950 to 1966, and was celebrated again on the 40th anniversary in 1985. In 1975, a Soviet-style "Victory Day" was celebrated on 9 May. Since 2002, the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has observed a commemoration day known as the "Day of Liberation from National Socialism, and the End of the Second World War". In 1988, before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Victory Day ceased to be observed in Uzbekistan, but was partially restored in 1999 as ''Memorial/Remembrance Day''. After regaining their independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic countries now commemorate the end of World War II on 8 May, the Victory in Europe Day. Starting in 2015, Ukraine joined the Baltic states in commemorating the end of World War II and the Victory in Europe Day on 8 and 9 May. ==History== Two separate capitulation events took place at the time. First, the capitulation to the Allied nations in Reims was signed on 7 May 1945, effective 23:01 CET 8 May. This date is commonly referred to as the V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day) in most western European countries. Joseph Stalin was displeased by this, believing that the German surrender should have been accepted only by the envoy of the USSR Supreme command and signed only in Berlin. Stalin insisted the Reims protocol be considered preliminary, with the main ceremony to be held in Berlin, where Marshal Zhukov was at the time, as the latter recounts in his memoirs: Therefore, another ceremony was organized in a surviving manor in the outskirts of Berlin late on 8 May, when it was already 9 May in Moscow due to the difference in time zones. Field-Marshal Wilhelm Keitel submitted the capitulation of the Wehrmacht to Marshal Georgy Zhukov in the Soviet Army headquarters in Berlin-Karlshorst. To commemorate the victory in the war, the ceremonial Moscow Victory Parade was held in the Soviet capital on 24 June 1945. The other World War II victory day, the V-J day (Victory in Japan Day) is commemorated in August. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Victory Day (9 May)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
