It is a holiday with tears in the eyes ...

116
According to TV reports, it will be sunny and warm in Moscow, and cold wind and torrential rain in Ukraine ... The sky mourns the real heroes of the Ukrainians, who were betrayed for ghostly happiness. Well, not the weather to me.

I cook all day today, because the table should be laid festively and richly (if possible). Soon the most important holiday in our family is the Victory Day. Tomorrow, 8 May, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will arrive, and my mother will show them a photo of my dad, who went through the whole war, Uncle Sasha, who liberated Prague, and of course, the portrait of Comrade I.V. Stalin. The boys will consider orders and medals, listen, opening their mouths like a granny, a student at the conservatory, digging trenches in front of Moscow, and then went with front-line brigades. Remember yourself why there is a glass of vodka and a piece of bread. And then we sit down at the table. And again they will be surprised how it is for the herring grandmother - a delicacy? Why, something like that remains from the war times ... Then they will leave, but our celebration will continue.

Early in the morning of 9 May I go to the obelisk of villagers who died in the war. Mom will not go, she this year - 90 knocks, walk a kilometer there and a kilometer back is already hard. I will go, I will remember on the way, how 10 years ago, when my mother and I first came to put flowers, they looked at us as crazy. Then a year later the bouquets were added, then the flower garden was broken, and for the third year local schoolchildren organize a concert for veterans. Progress? I do not know, but it really needs not dead, but alive. Therefore I will walk and lay flowers.

We are pleased to watch the parade, and then, I know, we will turn off the TV, Mom will take out her membership card, and I will turn on the ancient radio line, and we will put on the old, but the most expensive disc - “I.V. Stalin. Appeal to the people of 9 May 1945. " We will listen to the calm, measured, slightly solemn voice of the DRIVER, which even today inspires us to win! And my mother will say: “It was harder then, but we won. So, now we will win, just to live. ”And then we will listen to songs performed by M. Bernes and other singers ... then, not current ones. So, as these songs sounded at the front.

My old men, old men! How little is left of you! Real, proud, contemptuously looking at a mad tribe, which then will still repent and be ashamed of their stupidity and greed. You are doing everything you can today. You tell the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the TRUTH, fearlessly go to the demonstrations, carry red flags and put on your orders. On fear of all Bandera and fascists. You did not break! Do not scare! And you believe that VICTORY WILL BE US.

I am proud of you and I beg you - survive!

      Happy Victory Day, Elena!

      Victory

      And when the grass ripples in the fields,
      And when fireworks burst again on the graves of the dead,
      And when for those who have gone beyond the will, but in the distance others,
      Everywhere and happily they will sing the whole song together.

      Then they’ll stand nearby, as they were, alive,
      Then, with each, rows to shoulder again, they will pass,
      Then they will remember every day, glorious and fighting,
      Then they together, again, from the heart will sing for us all.

      And again, as then, thunders loudly - Victory !!!
      And again, as then, rains again shed tears,
      And again, as then, with them we will drink for Friend, for Grandfather,
      For the Father and for the Son, for Mother and for the Daughter, that they did not leave when they left.

      Somewhere near Nakhabino there is a large field with mass graves of Siberians from Altai. Tens of thousands of them were killed there. You read the inscriptions on the stones - the whole geography of Altai. They held the defense of Moscow. I don’t know if there is any connection, but on May 9 in Altai there is always, almost without exception, cold rainy weather, like a reminder of a dashing year. Today it has already sharply cooled and cold rain has begun. Eternal memory to the fallen heroes! Glory to the participants and workers of the rear for many years!

      Dear "guests" of the site "Military Review", guests! I congratulate all of you on Victory Day! The greatest; the most long-awaited for our mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers, who fought, forged Victory in the rear; the brightest, joyful and at the same time sad about those who did not return from the front, disappeared in concentration camps, died working for 16 hours from malnutrition and fatigue; the most - the most !!! The war ended 71 years ago. It is safe to say about the words that the war touched every family - this is true. Many fought in my family, worked in factories and collective farms. To my great regret, no one was left alive. Only in my memory. We must try to pass on to everyone a similar memory of their relatives to their children, grandchildren, so that they are not "Ivans who do not remember kinship", so that it does not work out as it is now in Ukraine, as the Americans are trying to erase the memory, implanting their truth to the whole world, belittling the USSR's role in the war with the fascists. Eternal memory to everyone who fought at the front, worked in factories, factories and collective farms, who gave us the opportunity to live!

      We now live in different countries, and our views do not always coincide. But our grandfathers fought for one country. In the war, my aunt’s husband, 2 grandfather’s brothers, grandmother’s brother died .... Grandfather himself and his other brother were wounded, and suffered from pain all their lives ... Eternal memory to all the soldiers who gave life protecting your homeland!

      I remember proud!
      Cherny Dmitry Ivanovich, Guard Lieutenant, commander of a rifle company of the 14th Guards Airborne Rifle Rifle Order of the Yas Suvorov Regiment of the 6th Guards Airborne Kremenchug-Znamenskaya Red Banner Order of the Suvorov Division. He was called up in the 41st in the village of Abinsk (now the city of Abinsk) in the Kuban. The war ended at the end of the 44th after a severe wound. Died in the 77th. My dad's grandfather. My father called me Dmitry in his honor.
      Kotsofan Galina Kuzminichna. Military doctor. Captain. My dad's grandmother. The war began in Stalingrad, where she met her grandfather. The war ended in June 44th, having given birth to my father. Here is such a frontline novel. Died in the 96th.
      Degtyarev Peter Lukich. Captain, gunner. The ideological communist. He went through the whole war, came to Berlin. He died in the 88th. My mother’s grandfather. In their house with their grandmother in the village of Staromyshastovskaya in one of two rooms, portraits of ALL members of the Politburo always hung on the wall. Moreover, they were replaced as someone left the structure or, conversely, entered it. Also hung portraits of Lenin, Stalin and Zhukov. He was a very colorful grandfather.
      Degtyareva Alexandra Merkulovna. I didn’t fight. It was just under occupation with three little daughters. And she prayed that the Germans would not know that she was the wife of a communist military officer. Died in the 80th.
      That's it.

        The holiday is really with tears in his eyes. When I look at already very elderly people with orders and medals, someone comes up to the throat, from the realization of how many trials have fallen on their fate!
        How many innumerable sacrifices the Motherland brought to the altar of Victory.
        I only sometimes think what both of my grandfathers, who died on the war fronts, would say if they suddenly saw us living now.


        Did they lay down their heads so that the national wealth would be divided between a handful of crooks, so that the bowels would be unreasonably plundered?
        Is it for this that millions and millions of Soviet people died so that the exploiters and the exploited are again?
        But didn’t Hitler want to destroy and dismember our country?
        And now, 71 years after the Victory, what can we answer to our heroic grandfathers who not only defended the country, but rebuilt it again and increased its wealth?
        This makes it even worse ... and understanding comes that we are indebted to them for the fact that we profiled THEM, namely THEM, and not our Great Victory, blood obtained and then.

    So the next Victory Day came and again behind the screen of the mausoleum our government is so shy of the conquests of the Sovetskaya power, I am so ashamed that I am sure that they don’t accept him on the victory day either, only the electorate’s work. Our grandfathers threw fascist standards to the mausoleum, that was the point they believed in it, and we were covering it with a curtain. Stalin took the parade at the mausoleum on November 7, 1941, didn’t pull it off so much with this place, and the government is ashamed that we had it.

      The authorities are not embarrassed, just that it is an ardent enemy of the Soviet regime, for which our grandfathers died on the fronts and in the rear.
      And to the Victory (in the broad class sense), the current government has nothing to do with it. Dot.

    Yes, Comrade Stalin drew a line in 1945, but there was also a speech by Molotov on June 22, 1941, then Stalin spoke more than once. Type Siblings - Our cause is right- Victory will be ours. But the essence is ...... no one has revealed. NONE. What is WAR. Especially Patriotic .... So far, only excuses. But you yourself think, if healthy and normal, everything is in place then MANDATORY call. So you may well be killed. It is with this feeling that you will live and sleep ... That's the main thing, why veterans do not remember the war- (personal opinion) FEAR. The animal fear of dying .. Like heroism and all that, it doesn’t vanish .. Just fear for yours and relatives of life overtakes them .. And when it came 09.05.1945/XNUMX/XNUMX, everyone breathed deeply .. Fear was gone. Well again with a holiday. Good luck and health.

      Fear, you say? And when did you run off to the front, despite the reservation? And when did they add age to themselves so that they would not be driven out of the military registration and enlistment office? And what about children-heroes in partisan units? And the completely blind Batyuk - the leader of the Kiev underground? Even the Gestapo could not believe that this disabled person is the very ... Fear?

        Kamanin, Arkady Nikolayevich (November 2, 1928 - April 13, 1947) - the youngest pilot of the Second World War, began to fly independently at the age of fourteen. The son of a famous pilot and commander N.P. Kamanin.
        At the age of 15, Arkady was awarded his first combat award - the Order of the Red Star for saving the pilot of the IL-2 attack aircraft that crashed in the neutral zone. He was later awarded the second Order of the Red Star, and then the Order of the Red Banner. By the end of April 1945, he “made more than 650 flights to communicate with parts of the corps and with the runway and flew 283 hours.”
        He died at the age of 18 from meningitis. He was buried in Moscow at the Novodevichy cemetery.

There is no need to build yourself out of heroes and eternal ones, such as "infinite koschei". All of you are mortal and animal fear is inherent in any person if he is not on parole. I don’t want to judge by the minus that all of you ....... Well, very smart people. Apparently they have not yet reached the level when one should be afraid. This is characteristic only of the young. Even a schoolboy is afraid of getting a count. Personal opinion, I do not insist.

    Thanks for the warm feedback. I want to add another poem from UKRAINIAN Schumann Alena

    Standing at the obelisk again
    Like a couple of years ago.
    The war has taken many lives
    What burn in the sunshine.

    I lay flowers with tears
    Again to the grave in the middle of the day.
    My grandfather before my eyes
    And every year he waits for me.

    I hear his darling voice
    I cherish all the orders.
    And I won’t hurt the memory of my grandfather
    After all, it has a victorious spring.

    And that distant forty-fifth
    Forever lives in our hearts.
    Dead in gray sunsets
    We defended the world at that hour.

    More than once I will come to the obelisks
    And they will touch my soul.
    The war took many lives
    In those very difficult days ...

    10 years ago, when my mother and I first came to put flowers, they looked at us as if we were abnormal
    In 2006, such antics were exclusively in Western Ukraine. It was then that the celebration of May 8 was introduced by Yushchenko’s mongrel, as Reconciliation Day, in order to equalize the rights of Bendery rabble and WWII veterans. In other regions, especially in villages, villagers watched the monuments of fellow villagers and Soviet soldiers who died in the Second World War better than in some cities.

    With more tears, we honor the feat of ordinary people, this is their victory ... I dream when they teach the history of the war at school with all the lessons, honestly without hushing up the shameful moments and the price of victories ... Yesterday I watched the film "Liberation of Europe" at 1, I thought I was surprised, I was surprised, my hair stood on end, I could not tear myself away. And suddenly I realized that this is a film for me, those who are over 50, and young people will not understand it ... And I want them to understand. they know little of the terrible truth about the war. And from this the feat is even more significant and the joy of Victory is immense ...

    I had to put my spouse in nursing care. So with her in the ward two grannies were lying, one somewhere around 96, the whole war went on, and the other younger, Germany was stolen as a youngster. Although Grannies did not get out of bed and it was very difficult for them, but they did not lose heart. While sitting with his wife, he learned a lot of things about the war from them. And they supported the spouse to the last. And these are WOMEN. Not broken by any adversity.

    No matter how the liberals increased the intensity and volume of their chatter every year before Victory Day, the Nazis were defeated by the Soviet people under the leadership of the Communist Party. I'm not a big fan of communist ideas, but the fact remains. Nazi Germany was nurtured by the "free" Western world, and the "totalitarian" Soviet Union had to bring the thugs to life. Happy Victory Day !!!

    Thanks for the note Fidget - Elena.
    Piercing goosebumps.
    ...
    In childhood, Victory Day was always celebrated in our house, although my mother was the youngest in the family.
    And the front-line soldier was her elder brother, my uncle, respectively. Born in 1924, he started the war in Stalingrad, in 1942.
    And he finished near Leningrad in 1947.
    Grandfather on the part of his father, a tankman, did not like to go anywhere, they themselves went to him.
    ...
    And now I myself am a grandfather.
    And with quiet sadness I recall my front-line soldiers.
    And with horror and bewilderment, I think that not a single person who has gone through the war is about to remain.
    A huge layer of eyewitnesses will disappear.
    What will be left to us? Only memory. Only memory.
    ...
    Thank you Elena.

    It is interesting someday in Russia they will pay tribute to the man who made a huge contribution to the victory over fascist Germany, to the man who did not hide his children from the war, to the man who did not plunder the country and did not live richly, why did the authorities keep silent about Stalin? Stalin led the country in difficult times Russian history, under his leadership, victory was achieved in the most difficult war that world history knew. Why I do not see posters with Stalin on the streets, why the authorities do not talk about this worthy man requestI am ashamed of our government and the president who do not talk about Stalin and who cover the mausoleum with a screen during the parade

    A month ago I had the opportunity to lie in the hospital in the same room as a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, a tankman, I learned a lot of amazing things about this war from him. Strong in spirit, with a clear mind and good humor turned out to be a front-line soldier! Even for all the time, we never turned on the TV in the ward, it was so interesting to talk to him. Nikolay Vasilievich! Long life and with your victory you! And us too.

    Soldatov Andrey Grigorievich (left),
    Born in 1917, village of Bestuzhevo, Shipunovsky district, Altai Territory, private, with his fellow soldier. I don’t know his last name, because. they are listed as missing.
    They died in the landing near Sevastopol.
    My father's older brother. The middle brother, Nikolai Grigorievich Soldatov, served on the cruiser "Red Crimea" from 1936 to 1946. He did not find his older brother literally one hour before the landing from Novorossiysk. The photo was taken a day before his death.
    PS MAYBE SOMEONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM. RESPOND. IN FIVE YEARS OF SEARCH, NO RESULTS.

    grandfather fought - he didn’t talk about the war - he let slip that he was in reconnaissance - that it was easier to walk on the ground than to drop from an airplane into the unknown - he said that they walked for more than a month in the rear - a sapper - he was on the Kursk Bulge and ended up in a hospital near Koenigsberg in 44 - I didn’t find anything about him - who - where - was awarded 1 - Red Star - 2 of Courage - 1 of the Patriotic War (they said 2 tbsp) and medals for the capture of cities (4 pieces) - lies in the Orenburg region - he also said that they sent them a young commander platoon - athlete - shooter throws knives and all that - but as soon as they crossed the line, I heard a patrol - and broke down - I had to tie him up and crawl back with him - they didn’t see him again...

      I'm from Kaliningrad. During the war, we had many reconnaissance groups - both army and MGB. Bow to your grandfather from our lands. We have many monuments to those reconnaissance groups. By the way, look for “Reconnaissance Groups on the Territory of East Prussia”, there was a list of personnel of some DRGs, maybe you’ll find your grandfather’s name. My students did an essay on this topic, if you write anything)

    Helen, thank you for your simple, kind words. Please accept congratulations from our family. I especially want to congratulate your mom. Thank God that our mothers are still with us. The third day I have a St. George ribbon on my chest under my brooch (last year I specially went to the Russian consulate to pick it up, she really wanted the ribbon to come from there), the awards are still in the box, she will wear them tomorrow. In the morning we will bring lilacs and lilies of the valley; they are already blooming in the yard. Let's all gather at the table. Let us remember those who are no longer with us, and wish health to those living. Yes, our mothers no longer have enough physical strength to reach the eternal flame, but the strength of their spirit can only be envied, an indomitable generation.
    Low bow to all those who fought for their Motherland, this holiday is their merit.
    Congratulations to all forum members for whom this is truly a Holiday! One for EVERYONE! Happiness, health and peaceful skies to you and your loved ones.

My late mother did not wait for news, she knew that he died, but where and when... Believe me, he was a grown man, but he cried bitterly ...I’m not ashamed...I’m ashamed of my country, which sold and betrayed the memory of its fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers...

    Early in the morning of May 9, I will go to the obelisk of the villagers who died in the war. Mom won’t go, she’ll be 90 this year, and it’s already hard to walk a kilometer there and a kilometer back. I’ll go, and along the way I’ll remember how 10 years ago, when my mother and I first came to lay flowers, they looked at us like we were crazy.

    And I went to lay flowers at monuments much earlier than 10 years ago. About 40 years old. Minus article. Because if a person only found out 10 years ago that it was, in the sense of VICTORY, this is sad

    On a fine, bright May day,
    Like many years ago,
    The lilac blossomed for the holiday,
    Having decorated the garden lushly;
    The whole country smells of lilacs
    On this day every year:
    As a symbol of the holiday, she
    It blooms only in your honor -
    After all, you, heroes from epics,
    We walked half the world
    And, having taken defeated Berlin,
    Victory has been achieved!
    And there were no more important victories,
    And there are no more sacred milestones!
    I wish you health and many years to come,
    And Happy Victory Day to everyone!

      By the way, one of the most active scavengers was also “Comrade” Khrushchev - one of the most cruel slanderers and executioners during the repressions, who during Stalin’s life pretended to be a fool, and after the leader was poisoned, he destroyed almost all the documents about his exploits and naturally hung everything up on Stalin - enemy of the f*ck-freemasons No. 1.
