On May 9, 2025, the Director of the Russian House in Brussels took part in a solemn ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

On this day, the Ambassador of Russia to Belgium, A.A. Tokovinin, together with the Acting Permanent Representative of Russia to the European Union, K.K. Malayan, and heads of diplomatic missions from CIS countries, laid flowers at the memorials to Soviet citizens who died in the liberation of Belgium, as well as to members of the Belgian Resistance.

The ceremony was held at the cemetery in the Brussels commune of Evere. It was attended by diplomats from Russian foreign missions, representatives of the Brussels-Belgian Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, compatriots, as well as staff and partners of the Russian House in Brussels.

Participation in such commemorative events is an important part of the Russian House’s mission to preserve historical truth, foster humanitarian ties, and uphold the shared memory of the heroism of the Soviet people and the international solidarity in the fight against Nazism.
