Hey, guys.

I rarely visit evening concerts and fireworks during Victory day, but I did yesterday, and had a really great experience. The crowd was very friendly and relaxed, and sang along happily to artists on scene (which is not always the case), even to Vitas' ultrasonic singing, lol. The fireworks were good, but frankly I have nothing to compare with.. So I wondered how did it go in your city. I'm especially curious about smallish or non-ex-USSR cities. Is it basically the same or atmosphere is different? I'll be glad to hear about your place regardless of where you live!

I'm posting links to a few videos (sorry for horrible quality, but I can't help myself - I feel like sharing ).

I chose the first video just because around 0:25 it shows the huge number of people attending the celebrations (btw, Kharkov boasts to have the largest square in Europe).
