Лето Победы: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The spring of 1945 brought the Soviet people a great victory, but World War II was not yet over. Japan continued its fierce resistance, and soon a new war—the Cold War—began. In this film, you'll see how the USSR's former allies literally transformed before our eyes into what they have now become for Russia—geopolitical adversaries. We'll take a look behind the scenes of high-stakes diplomacy and recount the Red Army's brilliant operation to defeat Japan. And we'll celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory in World War II.
