REVEALED: Military seals perform victory day wwii russia - The Real Truth

9th of May is the official Day of Victory in Russia. On this day, 70 years ago, Nazi Germany officially surrendered to the Soviet and American states. Russia holds it as a national celebration each year, and this one was especially festive due the 70 year anniversary.

The grandiose military parade aside, there were very original ideas of the commemoration, one of which is the following. In the city of Irkutsk, Siberia, the show was done by two seals from the local aqua-park.
