The significance of the Great Victory in the fate of our country and of all mankind cannot be overestimated; it should never be questioned under any circumstances. This is especially important now, when living witnesses and participants of that war are becoming less and less when attempts are made to distort it. history, in every way possible to belittle the crucial role of the peoples of the USSR in the defeat of Nazi Germany. Each of us is obliged to cherish the memory of fallen soldiers and honor the heroic history of the country.
We wish all citizens of our Motherland a peaceful sky over your head! And may the memory of the Great Victory live forever in our hearts!
Happy Victory Day!
