Example Sentences
- "Victory Day was first celebrated in the Soviet Union to mark the 20th anniversary of the German defeat in 1965. What had until then been just another workday became a public holiday which, as Russian historian Kirill Kobrin argues, was used from the outset as a political tool, with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev keen to use the event as a means of boosting the USSR’s image internationally."
