00:00Welcome to Tesser English. We go now to images from Russia as the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is visiting and honoring the martyrs in the Second World War.
00:13We're looking at images at this moment from St. Petersburg as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro continues its work agenda in Russia in the framework of his participation in the Victory Day, the 80th anniversary of Soviet victory against the Nazi regime.
00:36That happened in 1945. We've seen world leaders from across the continents come to Russia to take part on the celebrations that had its main point at the Victory Parade on May 9th.
00:50Now the world leaders, including Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, continue their agenda and in this case he is paying tribute to those who have fallen at the Second World War from the Soviet Army fighting against the Nazi regime,
01:10a war that came to put an end to Second World War. That was the commemoration that took part, world leaders from across the world came to take part in that commemoration of the historic event 80 years from the victory of the Red Army over the Nazi regime.
01:32We are seeing images as the president visited the cemeterians in Petersburg, honoring those victims of the fallen soldiers.
01:44Let's recall that a lot of the agenda has had to do with putting in the forefront the discussion over the historical relevance regarding a day that changed the history of Europe, Asia and the world.
02:02In terms of putting an end to fascism, putting an end to the Nazi regime at that time, and also in a world context in which international solidarity plays a key role in a new international fight against fascism with far-right groups rising at different points of the world,
02:21but also solidarity movements and international cooperation striving to put an end and also a stop to these movements across the world.
02:32We are looking at images, as we were saying, of President Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela, currently an official visit in Russia.
02:42Yesterday he took part in the main event of the celebration that was the victory parade in Moscow as he took part together with other world leaders.
02:59We've seen the arrival of leaders from all the continents to Russia, Latin American heads of state, not only the Venezuelan leader, but also from Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, from Brazil, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva.
03:16Also from Asia, Chinese President Xi Jinping was one of the key appearances at this event and also showing the support and the international strength of this coalition that strives to put an end, a stop to fascism as it did in 1945.
03:38We'll listen to the images from St. Petersburg.
04:08We'll listen to the images from St. Petersburg.
04:38St. Petersburg.
08:14those victims as part of the world commemorations. We continue to see the
08:25images of this moment from Russia. Let's recall that one of the most important
08:36aspects of this commemoration have to do with showing the international relevance
08:41of a historical event and also combating Western narratives that have tried to
08:51push aside the mere existence of May 9th, Russia's Victory Day, as a day that
08:59changed the curse and put an end to World War II. After that moment we've been
09:06covering it here in Telesur English, after that moment Western narratives have tried
09:10to impose a narrative of that historical event that underplayed the role of the
09:23Soviet Union in that victory that changed the course of the rise of fascism across
09:32Europe. The participation of world leaders as we are seeing the President of
09:41Venezuela take part in this official agenda of different activities of
09:48commemoration of those victims and the soldiers who took part in those battles.
09:55these international leaders are here to take part in a narrative supporting and
10:07speaking in front of the world giving their support to this version that really
10:15states the role that the Soviet Union and the Soviet Army, the Soviet people played in this.
10:22So let's listen.
10:29I will give this message of admiration to the U.S.
10:35The people that loved their nation is unbeatable. And so Commander Hugo Chavez said so.
11:02For the everlasting example that led to this great victory.
11:12Today Russia and Venezuela are together and we are unbeatable.
11:23Long live the victory of the great patriotic world.
11:34Nicolás Maduro Moros, President of Venezuela.
11:38We are looking at, at this moment, the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro participating in this act of honor to the victims of the
11:50great patriotic war and also his support and respect in this case to the Russian Federation.
11:59We were listening to his also mention of Commander Chavez and his everlasting friendship with the Russian Federation, one of the highlights that many of the leaders have pointed to.
12:12And at this moment what the President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro was highlighting was the salute from the people of Venezuela to the Russian people at this important moment.
12:27And at this moment also the importance of that strategic collaboration that emanates in this memorial.
12:45Mostly in this time in which humanity won over the fascism.
12:55And so we defended the right of peace.
13:02A picture of what the Soviet people did to liberate humanity.
13:26Everlasting glory
13:38for martyrs and heroes.
13:49This is the picture
13:51that we are looking at.
13:53So we lost one out of two
14:00from 1811 to 1926.
14:10And Bolívar liberated
14:13the whole South America.
14:17What is Venezuela,
14:19Colombia, Panama,
14:20Peru and the Bolívar founded that?
