The organizers set up a tent near the Triumphal Arch, raised the League’s flags and put on military clothes. Ana Pocitari, a member of the Russian Youth League, said that about 500 ribbons will be shared during a day. On May 8, they will stage motor races, roundtable meetings and will stretch a St George Ribbon that will be 365 meters long. Veterans will be invited to a waltz. The black and orange ribbon attached to the Saint George Cross appeared in the period of the tsarist Russia, being a symbol of the Russia army. At the beginning of the Soviet period, it disappeared from the public area, but reappeared in 1941.
