In New York, St. George ribbons were presented to everyone
In Times Square in New York, St. George ribbons were distributed to passersby - one of the main symbols of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. In addition, an airplane with an 30-meter St. George ribbon flew over Brooklyn yesterday, reports RIA News.
"Around noon, 2 in May, representatives of the Russian Youth of America society installed speakers from which the melodies of the war years sounded, and began distributing St. George ribbons and brochures on the 70 anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War to numerous New York tourists," the agency said. .
The brochure states: “By wearing the St. George ribbon, people in Russia and other former republics of the Soviet Union express their respect and reverence for the sacrifices of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers in World War II. This tape has been a symbol of courage and heroism of Russian soldiers and officers of the past 250 years. ”
Then, the “live statue of Liberty” joined the rally on the distribution of ribbons, which later turned out to be “disguised” as an American landmark by a native of Eastern Europe. “This is a good symbol. We must not forget this war, it has affected so many countries, ”the actor told the reporter in the form of a statue.
Many tourists admitted that they know nothing at all about the St. George ribbon and its meaning. A native of Israel named Haim, who now lives in America, stuck to the lapel of the ribbon, said: “Everyone should turn to World War II more often. It is very important. Americans should also know, because they also fought, and many died. "
The first to share, as expected, Russian tourists and people from the Russian Federation responded. “The symbol of the ribbon is that the descendants of those who fought in this war show that they remember their ancestors. And we are all descendants of this war. This is an act of solidarity. And it is important to prevent the recurrence of the fascist tragedy, ”said local resident Dmitry, jokes of the ribbon to himself, his wife and two sons.
