What is war?
It’s death, pain, losses and tears. Broken lives, which will never see the sun, will never hug the children, will never feel the mother’s care, will never support their wives and husbands. This is the end, for them, for those who died.
On the 22nd of June 1941 at 4 a.m. fascist Germany attacked our country and the Great Patriotic War began.
All people, young and old, stood proudly and fought together for motherland and her sons.
Vasily Lebedev-Kumach wrote a poem, which became a song:
Rise up, beloved Soviet land,To meet the fascist foeTo stay his strong and evil handGo forth, to battle go.
After some weeks of the beginning the Great Patriotic war the German armies occupied Leningrad.
It was in September 1941. There was a blockade around the city. 872 awful hungry days. People died from starvation and bitter cold.
The city was bombed every day. Hitler was sure it was impossible to live through such situation. He wanted Leningrad to wipe off the face of the Earth. But he was mistaken.
125 grams of bread per person a day. 300 grams of groats and 100 grams of butter a month. And later only 125 grams of bread and nothing else.
The Cranes
Sometimes I feel that our fallen soldiers,Who left on battlefields their bloody stains,Did not lay down in their graves for solace,But have become the white-winged cranes.
Victory Day Parade of 1945
.
The Great Victory is connected with the Great October.
On 7 November, the Red Army soldiers marched directly to the front to defend the Soviet capital. And it is a convincing symbol of victory over fascism.
Wait for me, and I'll come back!Wait with all you've got!Wait, when dreary yellow rainsTell you, you should not.Wait when snow is falling fast,Wait when summer's hot,Wait when yesterdays are past,Others are forgot.Wait, when from that far-off place,Letters don't arrive.Wait, when those with whom you waitDoubt if I'm alive.
Konstantin Simonov

Love
Apple trees and pear trees were a flower,
River mist was rising all around.
Young Katyusha went strolling by the hour
On the steep banks,
O’er the rocky ground.
By the river’s bank she sang a love song
Of her hero in a distant land.
Of the one she’d dearly loved for so long,
Holding tight his letters in her hand.
Oh, my song, song of a maiden’s true love,
To my dear one travel with the sun.
To the one who Katyusha loves so,
Bring my greetings to him, one by one.
Let him know that I am true and faithful,
Let him hear the love song that I send.
Tell him as he defends our home that grateful,
True Katyusha our love will defend.

Remember! Remember! Remember!

Bright blue the sky,Sun up on high -That was the little boy s picture.He drew for you,Wrote for you, tooJust to make clear what he drew.May there always be sunshine,May there always be blue skies,May there always be mommy,May there always be me
