Members of government usually take part in a wreath laying ceremony at their national war memorial, usually dedicated to the specific war victory. Wreaths are often laid at memorials such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Moscow), the Monument to the Unknown Sailor (Odessa), and the Monument to Hazi Aslanov (Baku). Although Latvia does not officially officially recognize 9 May, the large Russian community informally celebrates the holiday, with trips to the Victory Memorial to Soviet Army being common in Riga, with diplomats (ambassadors of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus) as well as politicians (Nils Ušakovs, Alfrēds Rubiks) taking part.
