The Russian ambassador in Denmark, Vladimir Barbin, will visit later today and lay flowers at Allinge Cemetery on Bornholm to remember the fallen Soviet soldiers on the island during World War II.
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany.
This is in contrast to Germany, where the official message states that Russia's ambassador in Germany is not welcome at commemorative events.
For the past three years, the Soviet monument in Allinge has been vandalized, with unknown perpetrators spray-painting it before the Russian visit. This has not happened this year.
