Regional/Cultural Day

Den oslobodenia

Commemorates the end of World War II in Europe and the liberation of Slovakia by the Soviet Red Army. The day is observed with ceremonies at military cemeteries and the Slavin memorial in Bratislava, where over 6,000 Soviet soldiers are buried. The Soviet monument is a reminder of the complex history of liberation and occupation. Veterans lay wreaths, and the president delivers a speech honoring those who fought against fascism.
