Yekaterinburg's Waltz of Victory unites generations in global celebration
The Waltz of Victory has once again brought together people of all ages in Yekaterinburg. What started as a local event in 2015 has now grown into an international movement. This year, participants ranged from nine to 75 years old, reflecting its wide appeal across generations. The initiative began in Yekaterinburg nearly a decade ago. Since then, it has expanded to include 86 cities in Russia and abroad. The event now attracts residents from different municipalities, university and vocational college students, cadet corps pupils, and schoolchildren.
Tatyana Savina, Deputy Governor and Health Minister of the Sverdlovsk Region, spoke about the waltz’s deeper meaning. She described it as a symbol of generational continuity and a way to honour fighters and veterans. The dance itself has become a tradition, uniting communities in shared respect and celebration.
The Waltz of Victory continues to grow, connecting cities and people beyond Yekaterinburg. Its mix of young and older participants highlights its role in preserving memory and fostering unity. The event remains a key moment for reflection and gratitude each year.
