On November 10, St. Andrew’s Anglican Church held a service commemorating the end of WWI and in remembrance of those who died in wars. Ambassadors and military representatives of countries that fought in the war placed flowers on the altar, starting with the ambassadors of the United Kingdom and Germany. Russian veterans also attended the event.
Despite the many diplomatic tensions, all stood in silence and then under the resonant music of horn and bagpipe and then raised their glasses in toasts.

“Russian veterans also attended the event.”
Please tell me what Russia have to do with the end of WW1? As far as I know, they pulled out of WW1 in 1917 to have their own civil war.
WWI was a war against Serbia, not sure what Russia has to remember, since they abondoned Serbia for full four centuries.
