It's a public holiday in #Berlin

I didn't know that its history is so related to the Soviet Union though, which gives it quite a bad taste in light of events since 2014 (or even earlier, really). Especially with the Baltic countries apparently having abandoned it as a public holiday.
But I guess that's like with most things - there's usually something uncomfortable in the past you should be aware of.
