“Our dear, beloved by the people, dear, glorious participants in the war, children of war, veterans, dear comrades and friends, in this main hall of the country on the eve of the main holiday of Victory Day, I want to remind you that we are all born in Victory,” the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation said with these words. G.A. Zyuganov turned to the audience.

“There are more than two hundred countries in the world, but only two countries have not lost their sovereignty over the past 500 years,” he said. - This is our Motherland and England. Only our country, out of its thousand-year history, had to spend 700 years in battles and campaigns, defending its truth, faith, culture and traditions.”

“We are not easily born of Victory, we celebrate many dates that symbolize this great Victory. Think back to your unique, amazing story. On Lake Peipsi, we taught the Teutonic Knights to respect the Russian truth and our will. The great Russian statehood was born on the Kulikovo field. Scattered regiments came to the Kulikovo field, and they left the battlefield as a single army in the born mighty Russian state. Near Poltava and Borodino, we proved to all of Europe and the whole world that there is a great power in the East that is not afraid of invasions or another Entente,” the leader of the Russian communists said proudly.

“In the Soviet era, we won three grandiose victories that broke the back of the fascist beast. Near Moscow, after the defeat of the Nazis, they realized that there was no longer an invincible Wehrmacht. At Stalingrad, the fate of almost all of Europe was being decided. All of Europe woke up in the morning and fell to the radios in order to hear what was happening there on the Volga, near Stalingrad. They understood that if the Nazis cut the Volga, then a complete catastrophe would occur. The fact is that 80 percent of the oil came from Baku, from which fuel was made for cars, planes and tanks,” continued G.A. Zyuganov.

“And when the Nazis were defeated near Stalingrad, the whole of Europe celebrated this outstanding event. Later, in almost every European capital, streets and squares were named after Stalingrad. France especially celebrated this victory. The fact is that the three selected divisions of the Fritz, which entered Paris, completely perished near Stalingrad, ”said Gennady Andreevich.

“For the first time in history, a 100,000-strong army led by a commander-in-chief was captured. On the Oryol-Kursk Bulge, the back of the fascist beast was finally broken, ”the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation noted with admiration for the feat of fathers and grandfathers.

“You and I lined up in an immortal regiment. The living and the dead, young and old, children, women, old men, warriors. This immortal regiment defends our great Victory, our Truth, our will to live in a powerful, modern state. But we must remember that the first hero cities were named Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sevastopol and Odessa. Even today they personify our power and our glory,” he continued.

“I congratulate you on Victory Day! Good luck! You are all in the victorious, immortal regiment in the name of the prosperity of our Motherland. Glory to veterans! Glory to our Victory! Hurray! ”, - the auditorium met this greeting of the leader of the Communist Party with prolonged applause.

The event was also attended by Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party D.G. Novikov.
