The Great Victory of my nation.

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. Some of my ancestors also took part in the Great Patriotic War of 1945, and I’m proud of them.

More than sixty years have passed since the victory in the Great Patriotic war, but it still finds reflection in human souls. This victory was achieved with great effort. Every family in the country was touched and involved into this cruel war. Even my grandfathers and great-grandfathers participated in it. I'll try to describe an average soldier however we all know that each of them was a real hero. So, who was he and what did he look like? I wish I could speak about them in the present because they are still alive in our hearts. We shouldn't forget what they did for us. Some soldiers got higher ranks during this war, but they didn't forget what their main goal was. A simple soldier was a man whose life has become a tiny contribution to the case of liberation of the country from invaders. They were people who readily gave their lives for bright and cloudless future of their motherland and the life of their descendents. Undoubtedly each of the soldiers was a hero, who did it not for becoming famous or being listed on some boards. We all know that they did it solely out of civic duty and love for their families. Some of them were too young to participate in such monstrous battles. There were fourteen year old partisans, twenty-five year old family men, who left their young wives and little children or newborn babies at home. Older men went shoulder to shoulder with their sons. This war didn’t spare anyone, but the desire to bring victory and peace to their land was stronger. Among the characters with unique destinies we can name Nikolai Gastello, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Alexander Matrosov. The latter was only eighteen when he was given the award of the Hero of the Soviet Union. It is impossible to forget the heroism of such people.
