The commemorable banner for the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 was installed by the CSTO in Moscow on Leningradsky Prospekt. In this Moscow district, the “Act on Unconditional Surrender of Germany” was delivered 75 years ago from the capital of defeated fascist Germany.
On May 8, 1945, the military transport aircraft Li-2, which headed for Berlin, took off from the Central Aerodrome named after M. V. Frunze (currently the territory limited by Leningradsky Prospekt and Khoroshevsky Roadway).
On May 9, at 4 a.m., Li-2 aircraft captain, wing commander Aleksey Semenkov, received a packet sealed by wax seaboard and his crew performed a particularly important historical flight: they delivered the “Act on Unconditional Surrender of Germany” from Berlin to Moscow.
On the same day in the afternoon, the Act was received by the USSR Commander-in Chief Joseph Stalin.
Currently, the International Military Center is located in the building of the former airport of the Central Airdrome named after M. V. Frunze. In this center, in accordance with international agreements, the CSTO Joint Staff and the Secretariat of the Council of Defense Ministers of the CIS are stationed.
