Victory Day
One of the most remarkable public holidays in Russia is Victory Day. It is traditionally celebrated on the 9th of May. The holiday marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in the Second World War in 1945.
Every year all cities across the country have lots of parades and celebrations. In the evening people watch fireworks. But May 9 is a sad day for the majority of our population. Many people have lost close relatives and friends in this terrible war. Almost every family in Russia has a person who didn’t return from the battlefield. A great number of people were seriously injured and became disabled.
There are some traditions that we follow. We give flowers, usually red carnations, to veterans in the street and lay wreaths at war memorial sites. Also, there is St. George ribbon campaign, which has already occurred on the eve of Victory Day for many years. Millions of Russians take part in this campaign.
At home, we gather around a festive table to honour survivors and those ones who passed away. We may also watch films based on the events of World War II.
Thus, it is a great day in our history. We are proud of our great-grandparents.
