lived and worked in peace. The great Patriotic war ended in
May 1945. This spring day on May 9 is marked in the history
of our country as the "Day of the Great Victory".

Time will not take away from us this historic day.
This shows even more clearly the world-historical
significance of our victory. May 9 is a special
day. This is a wonderful holiday, different from all
other holidays. This is a national holiday and at
the same time very personal.
