St. Petersburg plans bigger decorations for the 80th Victory Day celebration this year. City officials added more locations with festive displays compared to last year. Vice Governor Boris Piotrovsky shared projects showing that 24 landmark sites will feature special decorations throughout the city.
For the first time, four bridges across the Neva River—Bolsheokhtinsky, Alexander Nevsky, Kantemirovsky, and Semenovsky—will have Victory Day displays. New festive arrangements titled "Victory—Motherland—Mother" will appear at Moskovskie Vorota and on Bolshaya Morskaya Street. Palace Square will showcase a large LED screen depicting soldiers raising the Victory Banner over the Reichstag.
Travelers heading to Pulkovo Airport will see decorative displays along their route. Additional installations will appear at Kronstadt Square, Severnaya Square, and the intersection of Narodnaya Street with Bolshevikov Avenue. The main Victory Parade at Palace Square will stream live on screens at St. Isaac's Square, the Field of Mars, and Vasilievsky Island.
The city decorated almost 450 locations this year, up 50 from previous celebrations. According to official reports, these anniversary festivities will cost St. Petersburg about 230 million rubles.
