One of the most remarkable
public events in my country is
the Victory Day. It is
traditionally celebrated on
the 9th of May. This patriotic
holiday commemorates the
victory of the USSR over the
Nazi Germany. Every year in
honour of this day in all cities
across the country lots of
cheerful parades and
celebrations are held. Despite
the fact that the holiday is
celebrated in a flamboyant
way, May 9 is a sad day for
the majority of our
population. Many people
have lost their loved ones and
close relatives during this
ruthless war. From one hand
everyone is happy that the
country wasn’t occupied by
the fascist invaders, from the
other hand everyone grieves
over their loss. On this day we
are grateful to our saviors, to
those who sacrificed their
lives for us. That’s why we try
to celebrate this day with
honours. Some part of
younger generation doesn’t
understand the importance of
this event, which I think is
disrespectful. In my opinion,
the Victory Day is one of the
greatest holidays during the
year.
