75th Anniversary of Victory Street

“75th Anniversary of Victory Street” is a common commemorative name for streets in cities across Russia and other former Soviet republics, honoring the 75th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in this context). These streets are typically renamed or dedicated as lasting memorials to the veterans and sacrifices of the war, with many featuring monuments or plaques that detail local contributions to the war effort.

School No. 100

School No. 100 in Beslan, North Ossetia-Alania, Russia, is tragically known as the site of the 2004 Beslan school siege, a three-day terrorist hostage crisis that began on September 1. The event resulted in the deaths of over 330 people, mostly children, and remains a profound national tragedy in modern Russian history. Today, the school building is preserved as a memorial and museum dedicated to the victims.
