The artillery salute was made by soldiers of the separate guard salute division named after Marshal Mikhalkin.

More than 2 thousand fireworks of 50 kinds were released into the sky.

The sound accompaniment of the salute was provided by a battery of ZiS-3 guns from the Great Patriotic War.

RT led the live broadcast of the salute.

In July, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu commented on Russia's decision to stage a salute on September 22 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Tallinn.
