Authorities in the German capital, Berlin, this year banned russian flags, military uniforms, posters with the letters "V" or "Z", and other symbols and signs that could be used to glorify russian aggression during events commemorating May 9th. This was reported by "European Pravda" with reference to Zeit.
On Wednesday and Thursday, a series of events are planned in Berlin to mark the end of World War II in Europe, including several wreath-laying ceremonies at Soviet memorials in Treptower Park and Tiergarten, as well as rallies at the Brandenburg Gate and in the government quarter.
