The event was preceded by a ceremony featuring a replica of the Victory Banner and the presentation of awards to Russian military specialists serving in Angola.
Russia's Chargé d'Affaires Alexander Bryantsev and Chief Military Advisor to Angola's Supreme Commander, Major General Vladislav Kharchenko, emphasized in their speeches the importance of preserving historical memory and strengthening the tradition of service to the homeland.
