VICTORY DAY was prepared by Mikhalenko L.P. 2015

• Victory Day - a holiday of a victory of the USSR over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. On May, 8th, 1945 act of unconditional surrender of Germany has been signed. On May, 9th it has been declared by the Victory Holiday in commemoration of victorious end of the Great Patriotic War.

What is the war ?

It’s death, pain, losts and tears. Broken lives, which will never see the sun, will never hug the children, will never feel the mother’s care; will never support their wives and husbands. This is the end, for them, for those who died. But not for us, for us this is a victory through tears. This is a victory day-a great day!!

What do people do?

Many people watch the fireworks at night on Victory Day. The biggest parade is in Moscow’s Red Square, showcasing Russia’s military forces. Most veterans wear their medals as they head to the parade or an event organized by a local veteran organization .

Another tradition

Another tradition is to give flowers, usually red carnations, to veterans in the street and to lay wreaths at the war memorial sites

Victory Day is a national holiday in Russia. Public offices, schools and most businesses are closed for the celebrations . There may be changes in public transport routes due to parades and street performances .

St. George ribbon

people wear this black-and-yellow ribbon on their clothes

Red carnations – blood red is the color of the Soviet flag under which the veterans had fought.

Red Star medal – a military distinction for bravery .

We must remember those soldiers, those brave people who stood up till death for their homes, their country and their believes .

They were not politicians, they were not thinking about anything except protecting their homes.

We must be grateful to those who put their lives on the altar of the USSR victory. We must keep their memory carefully and appreciate everything they did for us, as we are living

just because they are dead.

Victory day is a great day! This is the most important day in our country. It has been 70 years ago but we know and remember those who died for us, who gave us life and hope for the peace and love. Don’t forget those millions which are not with us, but in our hearts.

Congratulations to the veterans

and their ancestors on the Great Victory Day !

Where is my sun, where is my home?

I’m a stone and dark…
Everyday`s death, and death go on,
When you say: “My life, goodbye!”
War of the world is long, so long.
Death is the most force word.
Life and death – all is in the one,
I don’t know when it be gone.

Russia is rich in different traditions. There are dates and events in our country that are memorable to all Russian people. Victory Day is the greatest holiday in our country. It marks the Victory of our country in World War II, the Victory of the Russian troops over the Nazi invaders.

The main celebration is held in Moscow. In Moscow at Poklonnaya Hill was recently constructed the Memorial Complex to commemorate the Victory of our people in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

The Victory Parade to celebrate the defeat of Hitler Germany was held on here on June 24, 1945 to the roll of drums, soldiers threw down 2 hundred enemy standards in front of the Mausoleum.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is a simple and dignified memorial to the soldiers who died for the country in World War II. It is here that all delegations lay wreaths. You will see the eternal flame burning at the Tomb and sometimes you

can watch guardsmen here.

In all the towns are decorations, flags and slogans in the streets, in the shop windows and on the front of large buildings. On Victory Day morning there are meetings and demonstrations of the veterans who fought in the Great Patriotic War. On that day there usually is military parade in all big cities of our country. There are a lot of people in the streets and squares. They are all celebrating their holiday. People put flowers at the tombs of the soldiers, who were killed during the war. They lay flowers to those who did not live to see the Victory. War veterans tell the children about the war and how they fought for Victory. In the evening there is usually a holiday salute and a minute of silence to remember all those who did not come back from the Great Patriotic War.

Russian people are open-hearted, hospitable and friendly. Love for freedom has been a national character of our people. When Russia was attacked by the enemy the Russian people rose up in defence of their Motherland.

No enemy has been able to conquer our country!

There are more than 13 “hero-cities” in Russia because they fought so heroically during the war. The great sacrifices which people of these cities and towns made for the freedom and independence of our country, the countless hardships they went through during the war, the selfless efforts in the rear and at the front were not in vain.

Volgograd is a legendary city, because here in 1943 the Soviet Army won the great and glorious victory over the fascists. The symbol of Volgograd is the Mamaev Hill. It was the centre of fighting during the heroic defence of Stalingrad. The centre of Volgograd is the Square of the Fallen Heroes. In the middle of it there is a granite obelisk at the foot of it you can see the Eternal Flame.

I live in a small village Markuchi. It is my Motherland and I love my native place very much. I consider that I am very patriotic and my tiny village is the best place in the world! There is a monument for the Fallen Soldiers in the centre of our village. Every year our inhabitants celebrate the Victory Day. It’s a pity, but there are no war veterans in our village already but we have 5 toilers of the rear.

Many old residents were children during the war, and their life was very difficult. We celebrate all of them, invite them to school on the holiday concert. Young people must not forget the heroes, they must be ready to defend their country against all enemies.

The civilization was not crushed by the World War II and the ruins provided the stimulus to build a way of life again. The people felt free to reinvent themselves.

I appeal to all who hold dear cause of peace:

“Let us stop those who are trying to push the world into an abyss!

Let our voice sound as loud as never before!”

MAY THERE ALWAYS BE SUNSHINE!

MAY THERE ALWAYS BE BLUE SKY!

MAY THERE ALWAYS BE MUMMI!

MAY THERE ALWAYS BE ME!

Английские стихи на День Победы

*****
Red tulips
Scarlet flame
As over the Reichstag
Red flag!

Battle, hiking —
All experienced,
The joy of victory!
No! Not forgotten!

A peaceful morning
Sunlight,
Our Victory,
Рeople are happy!

*****
The beginning of may.
Red carnations,
As the tears of those distant terrible years.
And veterans of the faces of the righteous,
Especially, which no longer exists.

When he suited the date of these.
For some reason I feel guilty —
Less remember the Victory,
More forget about the war.

*****
With all my soul in this bright day
I want congratulate all those
Who’re still alive through wars today
Whose links with our lives are close.

I mean those people who protected
New lives from wiping off the Earth
Those people who rejected
Our enemies’ efforts to end the Russian’s birth.

So much of them were killed those days
But they’re alive in our memory.
And we today have all our grace
Due to the soldiers that continued our story.

We thank them from the bottom of the hearts
And wish them long days living,
They served their right to live in comforts
And their dreams are our deal for keeping.

*****
May sunlight’s plowing through the sky
Illumine dawn clouds.
It brings the joy to everyone
And save all from the problems.

All people feel the fun today
And waiting for festivity.
Every thing was ever gray
Now illustrate the creativity.

Let’s meet the Victory together
And launch the balloons in the sky.
And let them be the gifts of ether
For those who never be alive.

Песня на Английском Языке на 9 мая с видео

The Day of Victory!

The Day of Victory, like an ember in the fire.
Seemed so distant, but remained our hearts’ desire.
Miles behind us, scorched and battered there we stood

That’s our Day of Victory
Ringing through the skies
Proud and joyful
We have bought it for a price
There is gladness
But with sadness in our eyes.
The Day of Victory!
The Day of Victory!
The Day of Victory!

Plants and factories kept on working day and night
On the home front we’ve put up a valiant fight
Without respite toiling for the common good
Bringing victory as closer as we could

That’s our Day of Victory
Ringing through the skies
Proud and joyful
We have bought it for a price
There is gladness
But with sadness in our eyes.
The Day of Victory!
The Day of Victory!
The Day of Victory!

Come now. mother. I have made it back to you…
Feel like running barefoot in the morning dew.
Miles behind us. we’ve lost many souls for good
Bringing victory as closer as we could

That’s our Day of Victory
Ringing through the skies
Proud and joyful
We have bought it for a price
There is gladness
But with sadness in our eyes.
The Day of Victory!
The Day of Victory!
The Day of Victory!
