Russia celebrates Independence Day

Over two million people are expected to take part in celebrations to mark Russia Day around the country.

More than 90,000 policemen have been drafted in to provide security for events across the nation.

Moscow citizens will have a chance to listen to top peformers, to touch a two-meter-high “matreshka” and to see a kite performance.

Ten cloud-dispersing aircraft will take to the skies above the capital to ensure the weather stays sunny.

Russia Day is a national holiday, celebrated each year of the 12th of June since 1992.
