Members of Russian patriotic organisations visit the homes of World War II veterans to honour the last survivors of the Great Patriotic War. Those visiting offer flowers and sing Soviet-era songs with survivors Valentina Boyarshina and Valentina Goryacheva. The annual celebrations of Soviet victory in 1945 have become an important holiday in Vladimir Putin's Russia, but are this year taking place under the threat of drone attacks and sabotage, the risks of which have increased since the beginning of Moscow's offensive in Ukraine.
