9 May. Holiday without white hair at the temples

... It seems it was in 1995. The situation in the country was not simple: on the one hand, it was necessary to celebrate the 50 anniversary of the Victory, and on the other hand, unlike the current lack of principle, Russia at that time had a clear state ideology: it was what was anti-state. That is, Russia as a nation was supposed to deny itself in every way.

Then political technology power twisted, making a double flip. On the one hand - a holiday spent. On the other hand, he neutralized him as best she could, knocking out her teeth for Victory Day and rolling her limbs into a plaster.

That is, the canceled parade in 1991 was returned - but without military equipment. And since simply armed Russians are also aggressive, a giant poster was hung over Red Square in which the Russian soldier clings to his American ally.

And most importantly - it was then that Victory Day acquired at the official level a forced sentimental-farewell tone. What was expressed in the posters, banners and televistavkakh with the text "With the holiday, dear veterans!" And in the hypertrophied Leshchenko from each iron, reminded that the holiday - "with gray hair at the temples."

All this, apparently, should have signaled by some supervisory authority that Victory Day is temporary. Here the last veteran will die - and everything will calm down.

And such quiet coffins, into which our conscious perception of 9 is trying to pound May, our country’s conscious enemies and irresponsible fools from the enemy’s supply are much more unacceptable to us than the usual bagpipes of freaks-losers about “corpses thrown”, about “detachments” , about "Stalin created Hitler."

One of these coffins, inherited from the 90-x - is expressed in a compassionate tone, "understand, it's still a holiday of veterans."

This mantra is reproduced in various forms. For example, angry: “Enough for us to pour cement with salt on our heads! Buy housing for veterans! ” Or so: “Well, this is a great reason to drank budget money. Shares with the distribution of ribbons, decorations for the holiday, all sorts of nashist efforts to somehow congratulate and litter half the town with someone ... I always say: better give these funds to veterans, this is their holiday. There are very few of them alive. ” Or supposedly respectfully: “Do you feel sorry for money for a holiday for veterans, or stupidly do not understand that for THEM it is very important?”

... But in reality, everything turned out differently. Now, almost twenty years later, it can be stated with confidence: it was not possible to bury 9 May in the past. It turned out quite the opposite.

This is not only about parades that have returned to zero (although when Topol-M drives through Red Square, it is somehow difficult to interpret what is happening in the wake of sentimental memories of the former force).

Speech is about people. Nobody deliberately processed their consciousness — rather the opposite. But now the citizens of our Motherland about 9 May the following opinion: 90% believe that the holiday "Victory Day" belongs to them. Including sure 85% of young people. The opposite opinion (“this is a holiday of veterans”) is mostly held by residents of megacities with no education - but among the social marginals of such idiots a small minority.

Something like this. Probably, it is precisely the unprincipled Putin years when the state abandoned ideology (anti-state, we recall) and gave the people the opportunity to choose their own thanks. historical self-awareness is intuitive and independent.

People - chose. There can be no doubts that the main and only national holiday of the country was 9 May - for example, those who wish can compare, for example, his and 12 of June (which, we recall, is Russia's independence day). Or his and 4 november. Or simply by looking at the riot of St. George ribbons, which the country itself, without "targeted funding", adorns itself in early May.

Why precisely Victory Day? Because every significant nation celebrates its historic feat - best expressing its essence. The American people, while still alive, will celebrate the feat, as a result of which they stopped paying taxes to the metropolis. French - a feat in which he first destroyed his own class system. And the Russian (he is Ukrainian, Belarusian, Kazakh, Armenian, etc.) people celebrate the feat, during which he saved himself with his might from slaughter and slavery and a whole bunch of other nations. And we celebrate our own power. And we will celebrate it while we are with ourselves.

And so all the other holidays of Russian victories - as it were, are drawn into Victory Day. As every Sunday is a small Easter, so each anniversary of the expulsion of the Poles or the French is a small 9 of May. At the same time - only shading large.

Because May 9 is a day of historical accomplishment that makes us a people.

... Today, Victory Day has less gray hair at the temples. We can confidently ascertain: he won death and safely passed to the rank of the eternal. What we congratulate us on, among other things.

    The people - chose. Doubts that the main and only national holiday of the country was precisely May 9 ...

    I believe that, nevertheless, we should put on the same line and the day of victory in the Patriotic War of the 1812 of the year!

      With all due respect to the heroes of the Patriotic War 1812, especially Kutuzov, Barclay de Tolly, Bagration, Davydov, etc. The 1812 war of the year is to a greater degree the “dismantling of the two sovereigns,” the task was to smash the Russian army as soon as possible and force Alexander to go for unfavorable conditions. But the people did not remain indifferent and broke the foe.

        I do not diminish the Victory in the Patriotic War of 1812 of the year, but ... That war is already a history, long-standing and largely fictitious. And the Great Patriotic War is a war about which every Russian knows from his grandfather who fought, from his father who saw her as a kid, from brother who talked with then still living warriors.
        I agree that today's Victory is already with less gray hair .. And this is bad. It’s bad that gray-haired veterans of the Great Patriotic War, gray-haired Afghans are sitting at the same table with young participants in the Caucasian wars .. It’s bad that we did not provide our sons with the world, they themselves make peace . And it’s good that they can provide this world.
        I am for victory to be with gray hair, so that young people do not know what real, not cinematic war is.

      We can agree that we should also celebrate the day of the defeat of the dogs - knights on Lake Peipsi by Alexander Nevsky, the capture of Izmail A.V. Suvorov, and so on. Our entire history is replete with both successes in military affairs and failures. Why is it the Victory Day in the war against the German fascist invaders that is celebrated publicly? Yes, because the participants in this war are still alive, that in no war before this did the state (USSR) have so many victims that it was in this war that the people stood up as one to defend the Fatherland, at the front and in the rear. that this war affected every family, that every family has its own hero, killed or missing, tortured in concentration camps or stolen to work in Germany, killed in the rear from a bombing raid or died in the workplace from overstrain, shot for assisting partisans or simply caught in a raid. Thank God ! That young people do not give in to the words of those who call not to celebrate Victory Day, that young people take part in actions dedicated to the war. It's one thing when the state is engaged in patriotic work among young people, but this is also our business. At least at the family level, so that our children and grandchildren know what troubles the war has brought, about the exploits of soldiers, about battles, about work in the rear. On Victory Day, I said to my eldest granddaughter: "Can you now, when you are fourteen years old, go to another city, live in a hostel, work 10-12 hours in a steel shop as a molder, like your great-grandmother?" She looked at me and did not answer, and then thoughtfully said: "No! I can't do anything, and I'm afraid!" Modern children are smart, they quickly understand computers, smartphones, they know more than their great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers at the same age , but at the same time they are helpless, in comparison with them, none of them is ready to commit acts. And yet, I think, the veterans will leave, our generation who lived with the veterans and listened to their stories will leave, Victory Day will always be celebrated in Russia, it cannot be otherwise.

      In 1812, it was about political requirements, though not very definite, by and large, for Napoleon before the battle of Smolensk, the meaning of the war was to force friendship and alliance, but ... The national war became after the burned Smolensk, the heroism of Borodin, the victim of Moscow. .. And even so, we must not forget that the war for the survival and future of all mankind cannot be compared with the war for political goals!

        No less distinctly Napoleon formulated the goals of his wars in January 1814. in a speech to the senators when he was already on the eve of the fall.
        “I’m not afraid to admit that I fought too much; I made huge plans I wanted to ensure France’s rule over the whole world. ”. This was said to the senators whom Napoleon sent to bypass France in order to mobilize the last forces. Thus, Napoleon’s plans were aggressive and in this sense of the word - imperialistic.
        Napoleon's plans corresponded to the interests of the French big bourgeoisie. And the big French bourgeoisie sought to capture European and world markets, to oust England from them, TO THE WORK OF RUSSIA.

      The Enemy Geset mk.ru: It is impossible to imagine that sixty to seventy years after the victory over Napoleon, society would still revere the participants in that war.

      Meanwhile, in 1912, the Russian public, led by the Tsar, widely celebrated the 100 years of the Battle of Borodino ...
      Moreover, there were many participants in this battle !!!
      From Wiki -
      In preparation for the celebration of the 100 anniversary of the battle of Borodino throughout the Russian Empire, a circular was sent out, which was instructed to find the living participants in the great battle. As a result, such a person was found in Yalutorovsk in the Tobolsk province - Pavel Yakovlevich Tolstoguzov. In 1912, the alleged participant in the battle of Borodino was an 117-year-old man, he saw and heard poorly, but at the same time, according to contemporaries, he was “quite peppy.” He was photographed by a specially sent photographer - in the photo next to him is his 80-year-old wife
      And more about the celebration - http://magazines.russ.ru/october/2012/9/h10.html

      At the end of the parade, Daria Nikolaevna and I found ourselves in front of a small house, at the porch of which the Tsar talked with four hundred-year-old elders. One of them seemed to be 120 years old, and he was an eyewitness to Napoleon's invasion. I did not hear the conversation itself ... ”(Aksakova TA“ Family Chronicle ”. M.: 2005).

      There are several evidences about the meeting of the emperor with the veterans of the Borodino battle and eyewitnesses of the Patriotic War of 1812. In particular, in the diary of Nicholas II and the memoirs of Aksakova, it seems, it is a question of the same ancient veteran. It was the retired sergeant major of the 53-th Volyn infantry regiment Akim Bentenyuk, one hundred twenty-two years old, who lived at that time in Chisinau. He was very talkative.

      Dzhunkovsky, who was responsible for organizing the anniversary celebrations, wrote the following about veterans:

      “For the most part they remembered little and gave rather vague testimonies. Akim Bentenyuk, the eldest of them and a participant in the Borodino battle, was the most talkative, he talked about his participation in the battle, how he was wounded, and even pointed to a bush, which he “shunned”. When he told the Tsar, the Tsar could not help smiling.

      Another eyewitness said that he had seen Napoleon, and when asked what he seemed to him, he replied: “Such a good fellow, oblique fathom in the shoulders, beards in which” - and pointed to the belt. In addition to these veterans, came to Moscow: a peasant of the Vitebsk province, Stepan Zhuk, 110 years old, an eyewitness to the Patriotic War, and a peasant village of Podbereznaya Rozhdestvensky volost of the Bronnitsky district of Moscow province, Maria Zheltyakova, 110 years. These veterans and eyewitnesses of the war were surrounded by special attention. The best rooms were allotted to them everywhere, they had special crews, and during the festivities they were given honorable places. ”

    BUT!!!

    Day May 9, 1945 fell on Easter week. Easter is the victory of life over death. Many Orthodox religious leaders of that time compared the Red Army with the army of Christ, which is fighting a battle with hellish hordes.

      Your comment would have been relevant several years ago. In Russia, the question of Stalin has not been an acute issue for a long time. There are some scribblers and talkers, but nothing more.
      We are on the path to recovery. Stalin is now not a monster and not God .. He is a man with the inherent advantages and disadvantages of man ..

        Somewhat disagree.
        The relevance of this issue will remain for a very long time.
        Each subsequent generation will ask him and represent in the end Stalin in the form of either God or a monster.
        By the way, why during the parades on May 9 in recent years, the Lenin Mausoleum has been closed? Indeed, the culmination of the Victory Parade of 1945 was precisely the throwing of fascist banners at the foot of the mausoleum. This, it seems to me, is another attempt to distort the understanding of history by future generations.

            If you can, find on the Internet (well, or at least imagine) the political map of Russia at the time of February - April 1917, with all sorts of Ural, Cossack, Donetsk-Krivorozhsky, West, East Ukrainian, Far Eastern and other republics and a map of the USSR at the time 1924 (in February - April 1917, nobody really knew about Lenin, 1924 was the year of Lenin’s death). Just compare these two cards.
            Further. Read Denikin’s remarks in which he denies that the Bolsheviks were destroying the army.
            And finally. Fascist banners at the foot of the mausoleum were thrown by our grandfathers-winners. They decided so and determined for themselves the role of the history preceding them. So, we should respect their choice, and not bashfully garland our history.

      Stalin is like a two-faced Janus, then he blows up the churches and shoots the priests, then he "orders" a prayer service and a flight around Moscow of an airplane with an icon in the 41st. He is the father of all nations and at the same time exiles entire nations to Central Asia and Siberia. Half of the country sat in camps, ranging from scientists in sharashkas and army officers to peasants sitting at spikelets, well, this is not him either, this is Yagoda, Ezhev, Beria, etc.
      The Soviet people, the Red Army, won the war, not Stalin, with his failed military strategy, especially in the first years of the war, but about disbelief to the last about the impending war, this is generally a crime, our intelligence just "shouted" about it, how many could lives be saved?

          Hitler did not personally shoot anyone either. Anticipating the outraged cries, I repeat, the current government is stubbornly trying to equalize fascism and communism. And for this he uses all the mistakes, and sometimes the crimes of the same Stalin. Judging by the comment of Mr. Melchakov. the government fully achieves its goals. (For information, I can tell you that the current Guarantor called Stalin the criminal). Now for the eviction. I have a bigger score for the Chechen "brothers" than yours, but the whole people cannot be responsible for their scum, even if they make up a large part of it. Another question is whether Stalin, being in those conditions, could have acted differently. I think no. There was a war going on, and keeping combat-ready divisions in the rear was too expensive to suppress realistically possible band insurrections. Given the mentality. the bandits and saboteurs really counted on the help of the local population, but they were actually deprived of this help. I might not dwell on your comment, but you wrote it in response to the RUS comment, and you have not refuted a single argument. Yes, Stalin was not in charge of the Western District, but he appointed Pavlov to him. The leader of the state is responsible for everything. Or he is not a leader. You have no doubts that not only Gorbachev is to blame for the collapse of the Union, but he is remembered first of all. Actually, the feat of my writing is not so much your quite sensible answer to Melchakov, as a striking discrepancy to this answer of the commentary to RUS.

        "There is a well-known definition of Prof. Lopatnikov: an anti-Stalinist is either a scoundrel or a cheat. For all the categorical and harshness of this statement, perhaps one should agree with him. As many as I have not met in my life and networks of anti-Stalinists, they are usually depressingly monotonous. In ordinary life, they can be all sorts: smart and not very successful, successful and unsuccessful, professionals in their field or militant amateurs, but as soon as it comes to M-Stalin, they instantly become stupid.
        And in this stupidity of theirs they are strikingly the same. Instead of a balanced approach, analysis, collection and comprehension of information, an attempt to understand the opponent’s point of view and arguments, a standard set of cliches about the "mustachioed killer", about many millions of tortured, about "Hitler and Stalin - is the same thing, only Stalin is worse" and so on etc., etc. And the arguments are standard, from references to bullies and cheaters such as Rezun or Sokolov there, ignorant and simply low-witted Svanidze and Mlechin (however, I do not exclude that the illiteracy and unreasonability of these Messrs.

      As Ukrainian media reported on May 10, the prosecutor's office of the Ternopil region. a criminal offense has been launched on the grounds of the criminal offense provided for in Part-2 of the Stat.296th Criminal Code of Ukraine.

      Law enforcers note that on May XNUMX in Ternopol, a group of people, among whom there were deputies, prevented participants in the event in honor of Victory Day from going to the central alley of the Glory Park, where the Eternal Flame is located, to lay flowers and hold a meeting.

      One of the people's deputies during the incident in Ternopol threw pyrotechnic equipment (approx. Smoke bomb), which he had prepared in advance, at the participants in the event and police officers.

      As a result, a brawl arose, whose video frames circled the world, entering the daily TOP of YouTube video service views, as previously reported by the Market Leader. TOP Youtube video: fight IN Liberty and the police in Ternopol. Several people were detained, but were soon released.

      The Ternopil Regional Prosecutor’s Office notes that criminal proceedings have been launched on the facts of yesterday’s events. The culprits of the incident face imprisonment for up to 4 years or restriction of freedom for up to 5 years.
      The “Market Leader” previously reported that an obstacle unexpectedly arose in the way of the participants in the event in honor of Victory Day in Ternopol in the form of a public reception of one of the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. About a hundred people gathered around the reception, apparently, the voters of this deputy, who did not allow the participants in the festive event to go to the Eternal Flame. They managed to break through the cordon only after the intervention of law enforcement officers. The breakthrough was accompanied by a brawl.

      However, I consider the day of the Kulikovo battle to be Independence Day, I consider it stupid and historically incorrect. First, from whom independence? Mamai is not the Khan of the Golden Horde, but only the leader of one of the groups and, in fact, a rival to the legitimate power of the “Chingizids”. By analogy, as if on the USSR, it was not Hitler and Germany who attacked, but the SS army.
      Secondly, relations with the Horde as a whole can hardly be called yoke and enslavement. The horde did more for the unity of Russia than other great princes, because the horde needed one person (and not a hundred) - from whom it would be possible to take a tribute, which contributed to centripetal movements. In other words, the Mongols did not climb with their charter into a strange monastery, the banal relations of late feudalism: vassal - overlord.

Is that the point? At that time, the scattered Russian principalities were still dependent on the Golden Horde, and Mamai's campaign against Moscow was started by the Horde in order to tighten the nuts. Prince Dmitry Donskoy defeated Mamai, but even after this victory, the Russian principalities were still each to some extent dependent on the Horde.
        There are great milestones in the history of Russia. And the Battle of Kulikovo, despite all sorts of Fomenko-Nosov’s, cannot but be the event that determined the further development of Russian statehood. Denying this is stupid.

    September 9 is the Day of Remembrance of Russian soldiers who fell during the defense of Sevastopol and in the Crimean War of 1853-1856.
    One phrase by Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov was remembered ... “When the head of one of the bastions, when the admiral visited his unit, reported to him that the British had laid a battery that would hit the bastion in the rear, Nakhimov replied:“ Don’t worry, we will all stay here! “”
    We need to remember such heroic moments, and then even in the most difficult moments of the Fatherland, we can answer in the same way.

      "I remember one phrase of Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov .."

      Add! Remember F. Ushakov!
      "On the icon, the righteous warrior Theodor Ushakov holds in his hands
      the scroll on which it is written, "Do not despair! These terrible storms
      turn to the glory of Russia. "This is very relevant to our days."

    Nobody canceled the Victory Day, although honestly, who knows how many heroes we have on board shooters, almost nobody (and the Germans know their heroes), or who made the tank rams first, about the village of Pesets (where the Germans had a scribe from 1 soldier), about the detachment of Colonel Karyakin (500 Russians versus 40000 Persians), and so it can be enumerated indefinitely, it turns out that we don’t keep crying, we can’t castrate our own history, all the more for the sake of any pirates, we rewrite the forgotten pages of the feat of the Great People ourselves, we can study history not only in books, but also in films (how many films he made with hidden propaganda in Hollywood, and because of our orientation, all our creative people aren’t allowed, and then Western critics will slander)

    The gray hair on the temples in the song is from experience and not from old age. Good song.

    Dear forum users! Once again, all of you with this GREAT HOLIDAY! To our great regret, today this is perhaps the only thing that still unites people in the vastness of the former USSR ... The indistinct and contradictory ideology of modern Russia (or rather its complete absence) only separates people. And the unspoken modern slogan "Loot at any cost" only divides. Involuntarily, the thought comes to mind that only tragedies, privations and wars unite the Russian people ...

      Not only in the USSR but also far beyond its borders - everywhere there are, if not living veterans, then at least those who REMEMBER.

    Moreover, the participating people stand, respecting the age of the elders ...

    That's it! They stand ...
    Was it really so difficult for Vladimir Vladimirovich and Dmitry Anatolyevich to take the Victory Parade while standing? Or is there no truth at the feet? Then where is she? Really ... ???

    The nationwide celebration of Victory Day will also affect the writing of textbooks on the history of Russia, and what other holidays will be reflected in it. One thing is clear that Gorbachev, Yeltsin and their "fifth" column will not be included in the number of national heroes, but on the contrary, their treacherous essence will be even more exposed.

    Most of the speakers speak of victory days (and youth’s attitude towards it) is purely speculative, but here are the facts. There is a WOT toy network tank shooter, a filthy toy in every sense, but popular with young people. So here. last year, May 9, people easily went to calls to destroy fans of German technology on Victory Day. This year it’s not. Generally.
    Young can trend (like we remember, etc.), but to give up something, as a sign of memory - no

        On the subject of WoT toys ... I tell you about the trend, there are more and more cowards ... there are more and more Germans in the game.
        To lose a day of playing time (this is a ban for the shooting of their fellow Germans) is a huge loss for young people. 100 rubles for removing crosses from German technology. A lot of money!
        I’m talking about ....
        They don’t understand that on May 9th, driving German equipment (one day a year!) Is ugly, at least.

    and I would introduce such a task for students in history lessons: list the fields of military glory and the most important battles in major wars. And so that, starting with the defeat of the Khazaria and ending with the capture of Berlin and the defeat of the army’s quanta ... Although modern battles can already be added

    What was expressed in posters, banners and TV sets with the text "Happy Holidays, dear veterans!" and in hypertrophied Leshchenko from each iron, reminding that the holiday is “with gray hair at the temples”.

    And what does the author dislike in the songs of Leshchenko? Victory Day?

    MAY 9 VICTORY DAY It is one for all the inhabitants of the USSR. and I do not think that WWII veteran Georgians or Latvians, Estonians, Moldavians, and other nationalities of the USSR do not remember their friends, fellow soldiers of the living and the dead with tears in their eyes. these are modern politicians of a number of countries who want to forget this day for the sake of a handful of greenery from the west.
