65th anniversary of Victory in Great Patriotic War
of Russian people (22 June, 1941-9 May, 1945)
No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten
Great Patriotic War is a period of time since 22 June 1941 when Russian people stood up to rebuff the fascist aggressor who had intruded Russian land until it was fully defeated in his Berlin den on 8 May 1945.
9th May each year peoples of the erstwhile Soviet Union mark Victory in Great Patriotic War. Memories about of that War are still vivid in their hearts. Hardly you can find a family in the erstwhile Soviet Union that was not affected by the war.
In the wee hours of 22nd June 1941 armies of the fascist Germany assaulted sleeping Soviet cities and villages killing children, women and men in big numbers.
Russians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Georgians, Jesus, Tatars, Uzbeks, Kazaks, Kirgiz’s and others nationalities of the Soviet Union stood up solder by solder to defend their homes and children.
It was a bloodshed war. 1710 Soviet Cities 70 thousand Villages were destroyed, more than 27 million Soviet people killed. By string strain and effort the Red Army drew the Hitler beast back to its Berlin than and defatted.
On 9th May peoples of the Russian Federation and of CIS countries pay tribute to and honour war veterans. They also mourn deceased war heroes by laying bouquets and garlands of fresh flowers to their monuments and tombstones.
Thus Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 for Russian peoples as about the same as the Liberation war for Bangladeshis.
