A huge letter Z, which has become a symbol of the Russian military, is reflected in an office building in a street in Moscow, Russia, Friday, May 6, 2022. Red Soviet flags and orange-and-black striped military ribbons are on display in Russian cities and towns. Neighborhoods are staging holiday concerts.

But the mood this year is very different, because Russian troops are fighting and dying again. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko)
