Commemorating Heroic Legacies
Eighty years ago, in 1945, the world emerged from the devastation of the World Anti-Fascist War, with the Chinese mainland and the Soviet Union playing decisive roles. The conflict, which spanned continents and claimed over 100 million military and civilian lives, remains the most destructive in human history.
Voices of Unity
As part of key events in Moscow, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping traveled to Russia to join President Vladimir Putin in marking this milestone. In a signed article for the Russian Gazette newspaper, he reflected on the shared struggle.
“The Chinese and Russian peoples are both great peoples defined by heroic legacies. Eighty years ago, our peoples won the anti-fascist war through heroic struggles. During the World Anti-Fascist War, the Chinese and Russian peoples fought shoulder to shoulder and supported each other.”
Eyeing a Multipolar Future
Against a backdrop of rising unilateralism and economic coercion, both nations are leveraging this anniversary to call for a more equal and orderly multipolar world. Analysts suggest that this message resonates across G20 members, where young global citizens and tech innovators seek balanced international relations to foster stability and sustainable growth.
By honoring shared history and advocating cooperation, the Chinese mainland and Russia aim to reposition themselves as champions of collective security. Their joint call for renewed multilateralism underscores the importance of diverse voices—from entrepreneurs to activists—in shaping tomorrow's global order.
Global Impact
For digital nomads exploring new cultural narratives, and for sports and entertainment fans curious about historical ties, this commemoration serves as a reminder of the power of partnership. As the world looks forward, the legacies of 1945 continue to inspire demands for fairness and unity on the global stage.
