Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin will travel to China this week leading a parliamentary delegation, newspaper Vedomosti reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.

Nazi Germany’s surrender took effect in Europe on 8 May, 1945, though in Moscow it was already 9 May-a date that became the Soviet Union’s “Victory Day” in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–45, during which the country lost an estimated 27 million people.
In Asia, the conflict ended on 2 September, 1945, following Japan’s surrender after the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August. Chinese Communist Party historians estimate that 35 million Chinese were killed during the 1937–1945 Second Sino-Japanese War.
The Japanese occupation displaced up to 100 million people in China, inflicted widespread economic hardship, and included atrocities such as the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, in which between 100,000 and 300,000 people were killed.
