China and Russia pass on torch of friendship 80 years since the WWII victory: Alyosha
"We must not let the sacrifices of our ancestors fade into oblivion. Preserving historical truth is the foundation for building a peaceful future," said Alyosha (Liu Weining), the Russian-born grandson of Chinese revolutionary leader Liu Shaoqi, in his recent interview with GDToday, as this year marks the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War and the global victory over fascism.
