Some historians believe it to be the last event that is able to unite the diverging Russian society. Thus, it is no surprise that the topic is extensively covered on Runet. The Georgievskaja lenta, the Ribbon of St. George widely used in Russia to commemorate the sacrifices and heroism of Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, ornaments the welcome page of the popular searching engine Yandex.ru.
