Tarkhanovo
School celebrates May 9, Victory Day
The May 9 is the most memorable date in Russia. The
Great Patriotic War ended in May, 1945. That spring day of May 9 went down
in the history of our country as Victory Day. On this day we celebrate the
victory of the Soviet Army over Nazi invaders in the Second World War.
Victory
Day is celebrated by meetings and marches. People bring flowers to the
monuments where war heroes lie and they honor the memory of all the
soldiers killed in that war. War veterans tell young people how they
fought during the war to defend their country.
Victory was won at a high price. The Soviet people had to fight
against the fascists from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in
the south. They defended Moscow and Volgograd and thousands of other towns
and villages. They helped the peoples of many other countries to become
free from fascism. The heroic Soviet people not only defended their own
country, they saved the world from fascism.
By the way, America and England were our allies in that war. They
helped us a lot. They sent clothes and food to Soviet people and fought
against fascists.
In
the evening on the 9th of May there is a holiday salute and a minute of
silence to remember all those 27 millions people who died in the war. In
the TV holiday concert songs of the Great Patriotic War are sung. War
veterans also come to take part in the program and tell how they fought
for their country. |
