Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 is celebrated not only in Russia, but also in the former Soviet republics and many European countries.

2014 marks 69 years since the Soviet army defeated Germany in this long and bloody war.

Victory Day - the history of the holiday

The final stage of the war was Berlin operation attended by over two and a half million Soviet soldiers, seven and a half thousand aircraft, more than six thousand tanks and self-propelled guns were involved. It is difficult to imagine what sacrifices this victory cost our country. According to some reports, during the operation, the Red Army daily lost more than fifteen thousand soldiers. Fulfilling your duty, total 352 thousand people died during the Berlin operation.

Tanks were brought into the city, but there were so many of them that wide maneuvers were impossible - this made Soviet technology vulnerable to German anti-tank weapons. Tanks became convenient targets. During the two weeks of the operation, a third of tanks and self-propelled guns (almost two thousand pieces of equipment), more than two thousand mortars and guns were lost. Nevertheless, the Berlin operation brought victory to the Red Army. Soviet troops defeated seventy infantry, twelve tank and eleven motorized enemy divisions. About four hundred and eighty thousand opponents were captured.

So, on the evening of May 8, an act was signed on unconditional surrender Germany. This happened at 22:43 CET and at 00:43 Moscow time. From 1:00 Moscow time, the act came into force. Therefore, in European countries Victory Day is celebrated on May 8, and in Russia on the 9th. Interestingly, although the act of surrender was adopted, the Soviet Union continued to officially remain at war with Germany until 1955, when the corresponding decision was made by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

May ninth on Central airfield named after Frunze of the city of Moscow, a plane landed, which brought to the capital an act of surrender of Germany. The Victory Parade took place on Red Square on June 24. The parade was hosted by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, and Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky commanded the parade. The consolidated regiments of the fronts marched through the square in a solemn march. Commanders of armies and fronts walked ahead, Heroes Soviet Union carried banners.

In 1945, Stalin signed a decree that May 9 becomes public holiday and day off. However, already in 1948, Victory Day became a working day. Parades and festive events resumed again only in 1965. At this time, the holiday on May 9 finally became a day off again.

Victory Day - holiday traditions

The first Victory Day was celebrated like never before in history. On the streets people hugged and kissed each other. Many cried. On the evening of May 9, the Victory salute was given in Moscow, the largest in the history of the USSR: thirty volleys from a thousand guns. Since then, Victory Day has been and remains one of the most important and revered holidays in Russia and the CIS.

According to tradition, on this day, volunteers distribute on the streets St. George ribbons- a symbol of the holiday. They are tied by veterans and young people - as a sign of memory of the war and the connection of generations. Victory Day, as a rule, begins with a parade and the laying of flowers and centuries at the monuments of the Great Patriotic War. On this day, veterans are honored, festive concerts are organized for them, gifts are given to them. AT educational institutions conduct lessons of courage, remember the war and its heroes.

Interesting and useful information for schoolchildren about the Victory Day holiday.

On May 9, Victory Day is celebrated in Russia. Victory Day over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. The war began on June 22, 1941. All our people rose up to fight against fascist german invaders: queues lined up at the military registration and enlistment offices, sometimes they went to the front directly from school bench. Only women, children and the elderly remained behind. They worked in factories, dug trenches, built fortifications, extinguished incendiary bombs on the roofs. And also - raised children, saved the future of the country. The main motto of the whole people was: "Everything for the front, everything for victory!"

But despite the heroic resistance, the enemy was irresistibly approaching Moscow. To deceive German pilots who bombed Moscow Kremlin wall houses and trees were drawn. The domes of the Kremlin cathedrals did not shine with gold: they were painted with black paint, and the walls were smeared with green and black stripes. Our fighters also blocked the way for enemy aircraft. A division under the command of General Panfilov fought on the outskirts of Moscow. At railway siding Dubosekovo, twenty-eight of our soldiers with political instructor Vasily Klochkov stopped the fascist tank column. Klochkov, before the start of a fierce battle, uttered a phrase that became historic: "Russia is great, but there is nowhere to retreat - Moscow is behind." Almost all Panfilov's heroes died, but they did not let the enemy tanks to Moscow.

As we progress Hitler's army to the east in the territories occupied by the Germans began to emerge partisan detachments. The partisans blew up fascist trains, organized ambushes and surprise raids.

Berlin has fallen. The war of the Soviet and other peoples against German fascism ended in complete victory. But the price of this victory was great and bitter. Our country lost about 27 million people in this terrible war.

On May 9, 1945, Moscow was lit up with a salute to the long-awaited victory. Our entire country celebrated the first day of peace with jubilation. Muscovites, leaving their homes, hurried to Red Square. On the streets, the military were hugged, kissed, grabbed in an armful and rocked, tossing the seething sea of ​​people over their heads. At midnight, fireworks never seen before struck. Thirty volleys from a thousand guns were fired.

May 9 holiday has become sacred for each of us. We should all remember the past and give thanks older generation for the great victory.

How to celebrate May 9th with your family

On this holiday, you should definitely congratulate all the veterans you know. A terrible fate was prepared for many peoples by fascist fanatics. They wanted to wipe entire nations off the face of the earth, leaving them without a future - without children. There was not a single family in our country that this war did not bring grief. And we are all born after this terrible war, should be grateful for their lives to veterans of the Great Patriotic War! Buy a few carnations with mom or dad that day, go to the city park. You will surely see people there with orders and medals on their chests. There are fewer and fewer heroes of that war every year. Come and congratulate such a person on the holiday, give him a flower or just a postcard. He will be very pleased that even the smallest Russians remember his feat.

And in the evening, when the whole family is together, ask your parents to show you Family album. Surely there will be photos of the war years of your great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. These photographs are black and white, sometimes reddened from time to time. Let adults remember the names and surnames of those who look at you from the album pages, remember where your great-grandfathers worked and served during and after the war. If the photos are not signed, sign them with mom and dad. Then you can flip through and sign dad's army photos or student photos of mom and dad. And now your childhood photos are smiling from the album. They are bright, elegant, colorful. This is what those who will forever remain “black and white” dreamed about and fought for. All photographs must be signed. Because memory is short-lived. And “what is written with a pen cannot be cut down with an axe.” Someday you yourself will leaf through this album with your son or daughter and tell them the story of your family. In Russia, it has long been about people who do not remember family traditions, dismissively said: "Ivan, who does not remember kinship." Let's cherish, preserve and increase the history and traditions of our family!

You can finish this slightly sad holiday with songs of the war years. They are known and loved in every Russian family. And, of course, main song this holiday - "Victory Day". Before you sing it all together, you need to stand up and honor the memory of all the dead soldiers of the front and rear with a minute of silence.

Song "Victory Day"

Music: David Tukhmanov

The words: Vladimir Kharitonov

Victory Day,

how far he was from us,

Like in an extinct fire

coal melted.

There were miles

burnt, covered in dust,

We have approached this day

as they could.

Chorus:

This Victory Day

smell of gunpowder

This is a holiday

with gray hair at the temples.

It's joy

with tears in his eyes.

Victory Day!

Victory Day!

Victory Day!

Days and nights

at open-hearth furnaces

Our Motherland did not close

Days and nights

fought a hard battle -

We have approached this day

as they could.

Chorus.

Hello mother,

We didn't all return...

Barefoot to run

Half of Europe walked

half of the earth,

We have approached this day

as they could.
