“Bakhchanyan walked around the Museum of Modern Art, New York, dressed as a ‘walking propaganda center,’ covered from head to to with slogans like ‘Stalin is Lenin today,’ ‘Beware, savage dog,’ and ‘Why is there no vodka on the moon?’” From Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-related Works of Art, p. 146.

May 8th 1945: VE Day

On this day in 1945, at the end of the Second World War, combat ended in Europe with the Germans accepting unconditional surrender in Rheims, France. The German surrender marked the end of Hitler’s Third Reich, following the dictator’s suicide on April 30th. Germany’s surrender was led by German President Karl Dönitz, and was signed on May 7th and ratified on May 8th. The Western world celebrated the end of the bloody conflict, with huge festivities in Trafalgar Square and outside Buckingham Palace in London, and in New York’s Time Square. British King George VI and Prime Minister Winston Churchill led the celebrations in their country, and U.S. President Harry Truman dedicated the victory to his recently deceased predecessor, remarking his only wish was that “Franklin D. Roosevelt had lived to witness this day”.
