Victory Day in World War II. Day of the defeat of the Nazi troops. The day of cleansing Europe from the brown plague.
Tens of millions of Soviet citizens laid down their lives for the sake of, so that we live in this world today, to enjoy simple things - a blue peaceful sky, smiles of their children, the opportunity to hug your old people.
But…
Today does not leave feeling, that the Victory Day is somehow parallel with the existence of us as a people, like community. Without crossing with us. Everything is either online, either postponed indefinitely.
The reason is known - the epidemic, due to which it is necessary to erect a lot of additional barriers between people, give up habitual communication. by the way, and with the arms of their old people today is also a problem ... Self-isolation. I want to, so that self-isolation does not ultimately turn into self-elimination.
If only a few months ago we were told, that the Victory Parade on Red Square 9 May will not be, it's hard to imagine our reaction. But today everything is so. In the cities of Russia do not go convoys of military personnel, military equipment, do not march on the human streams of the “Immortal Regiment” which has become familiar in recent years. It cuts the soul. Frankly.
But at the same time, understanding comes, that this is also a test for ourselves. The test is, how deeply do we keep in ourselves the memory of the Great Patriotic War, memory of heroes, who did not spare their lives for the sake of each of us - their descendants. This is a test of national memory, awareness of participation in a victorious nation. And therefore to go through all this with honor and dignity - this will be the best congratulation to veterans, and the best contribution of each of us to this great day.
“military Review” congratulates all his readers, all veterans, home front workers with Victory Day! She is alone with us. One for all! In each of the hearts! Today and always!
