Leave this article alone. You provide nothing but biased, made up stuff which doesn't belong in the discussion page or the article itself. You're killing it.

Ambiguous/confusing
"Poland officially recognised 9 May from 1945 until 2014. From 24 April 2015 Poland officially recognised 8 May as "Narodowy Dzień Zwycięstwa" – "National Victory Day"". What ever does this mean? It officially recognised it, and it still officially recognises it? If so, why is it in the section on former observances? 5.80.55.112 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 * "In Russia during the 1990s, May 9 was not celebrated with large Soviet-style mass demonstrations due to the policies of successive Russian governments" but you yourself write that in 95 a big ceremony was held with the participation of many countries, but to be more precise, a parade was held, here is his recording,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSKqdWfyJjI&t=1516s actually since 1995, parades began to be held annually Цйфыву (talk) 22:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

“Celebrate”
The word celebrate appears over 60 times in this article. That seems highly inappropriate. Perhaps some celebrate victory, but public events surrounding wars are more generally commemorated, memorialized, or, more neutrally, observed or held. —Michael Z. 21:54, 14 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I agree with you in this case, although I get your point overall. The Soviet Union suffered enormous causalities inflicted by the Nazis. It is estimated that between 16 and 26 million citizens were killed on Soviet territories. Something like 8 million Soviet troops were killed, compared to U.S. military personnel loses, which amounted to about 230,000. "Celebrate?" My question would be, do the Russians celebrate their victory? It was the Russian army that ultimately defeated the Nazis, wasn't it? May 9th is "celebrated" in Russia as Victory Day. 2600:8801:BE31:D300:350B:FC57:5D61:625E (talk) 15:17, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
