This week, Moscow celebrated the 65th anniversary of the launch of the counteroffensive (Battle of Moscow) on December 5.

The counteroffensive was launched on 5 December 1941 along the front from Kalinin (Tver) to Yelets. The battles continued 200 days and involved over seven million men and officers, 53,000 field guns and mortars, 6,500 tanks and over 3,000 warplanes on both sides.

According to Russian medias, the Russian government has issued a special decree on Tuesday, in commemoration of the Battle of Moscow, to award the veterans.

This was widely celebrated in Moscow last week-end. I saw several reenactments, close to the Red Square (Theaters Place). Zhukov statue was decorated with special flags. A celebrations was supposed to take place this week on the Red Square (I say "supposed" because I left Moscow on Saturday night...) Several posters were displayed here and there.
Here are some pics of them.

Unfortunately, i don't think I have more of them, as I did not have my camera all day long with me... If I have more, I'll post them.
