"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?

"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,

“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. —MichaelZ. 21:54, 14 August 2021 (UTC)reply
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.
