Vučić in Moscow: Escape from the failed American episode or a message to voters at home?
After an unconvincing tour of the United States of America, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić appeared in Moscow on May 9 to mark Victory Day over Fascism. While the regime's media portrays the visit as a diplomatic triumph, analysts assess that it is a political maneuver of a desperate balance - between increasingly weak ties with the West and never-broken ties with the Kremlin.

Two sides of European memory
Europe celebrates peace, Russia shows power: The double significance of the great victory

Informed of Hitler's suicide, Stalin only says: "Nitkov has finished his game! It is a pity that she was caught alive". Seven days later, a document on Germany's unconditional capitulation was signed in Berlin

Nice, I thought, turned to the other side and went back to sleep. For me, the war was over on April 13, when I left the camp and realized that I had survived. I did not contribute to the Allied victory at all, but I felt like a winner
