STORYLINE:

President Vladimir Putin on Saturday laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to mark Victory Week.

Russia launched the week of celebrations Monday to commemorate the 59th anniversary of its victory over Nazi Germany.

The four-year conflict from June 1941 to May 1945 is known by Russians as the Great Patriotic War.

Some 27 million citizens of what was then the Soviet Union, the overwhelming majority of them Russians and Ukrainians, died during it.

Putin and high-ranking Russian officials, came to the walls of the Kremlin in Moscow to remember those who died fighting for the Soviet Union in the World War II.

Victory Day on Sunday will be marked by a traditional military parade on the Red Square.
