Ved: There are events over which time has no power, and the further you go into the past, the clearer their greatness becomes. Such events include the Great Patriotic War. Fewer and fewer of those who fought for our Motherland are left alive. Today we, the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren of WWII veterans, bow deeply to you for your courage and fortitude, patience and mercy, for your boundless love for the Fatherland and ardent faith in Victory.
Number:
Ved: Our generation knows about the horrors of the Great Patriotic War from books, films, and for those lucky enough, from the stories of our great-grandparents. But the pictures of the war were etched into our memory by lines of poems, verses of songs, and documentary photographs. We will always remember this war. And someday, our children will hear from us “Once upon a time there was a war...”
Ved: Summer...1941. The gardens were blooming, the children were laughing, singing, and enjoying the sun. The boys went to sanatoriums during the holidays.
And suddenly - WAR!!
The most brutal and bloody war in human history. IN human memory this day remained not just as a fateful date, but also as a milestone, the beginning of the countdown of the long thousand four hundred and eighteen days and nights of the Great Patriotic War.
Ved: There was so much silence in the world
An hour before the onset of war...
Who had dreams about an approaching battle?
There was so much silence in the world,
That I only dreamed about happiness involuntarily.
Number: Song "Great-grandfather" performed by 2nd grade
Leading: Stop, time! Stop and look back. Look back at those who look at us in stone from the heights of their monuments.
Look back at those whose names are carved at the foot of the obelisks. For those who gave for you and me the most precious things they had - spring and the first kiss, happiness and life that was just beginning.
The memory of generations is inextinguishable
And the memory of those whom we honor so sacredly,
Come on people, let's stand for a moment.
And in sorrow we will stand and be silent.
Metronome. Minute of silence
Ved: Very young and not very young; blond, red, gray; Soviet men, loving and unloving, went to war, clearly deciding that they only needed victory. Soviet people stood up for the defense of the Fatherland, at the front and in the rear, in partisan detachments and in the underground, day after day, they forged victory, sparing no effort and their lives to defeat the enemy. Today, we cannot help but remember those who left and did not return.
Let's remember everyone by name!
Let us remember with our grief!
It's not the dead who need this!
The living need this!
Number:
Ved. Every year we move further and further away from the war era. But time has no power over what people experienced during the war. It was very difficult time. Soviet soldier knew how to boldly look mortal danger in the eye. By his will, his blood, victory was achieved over a strong enemy. There are no limits to the greatness of his feat in the name of the Motherland, just as there are no limits to the greatness labor feat Soviet people.
Ved:Light candles for all those who died
Let them burn with the fire of hearts
Flowers of lives that arose in the war
Because my father didn't come back from the war
For the brothers who did not return from battle
For the husband - for the bride - for the wife
For the lives of children taken away by war
For cold, hunger and complete darkness
For those who did not live to see this meeting
Light the candles everyone...
Light the candles
Number: “Fire of Memory” 5th grade
Ved: The longest day of the year
With its cloudless weather
He gave us a common misfortune
For everything, for all four years.
She made such a mark
And she laid so much on the ground
That even after so many years
The living cannot believe that they are alive.
And having straightened the ticket to the dead,
Everyone is coming from someone close to you,
And times will be added to the lists
Someone else who is not there.
And they put up, they put up obelisks.
The years fly by...
And the paler the lightning,
The deeper the echo of the terrible days,
The more the Motherland can be proud
Victory of the faithful sons.
Ved: The Patriotic War is not only blood, suffering and death, but also the upsurge of the human spirit, the highest measure of honor, nobility and loyalty...

Number:
Ved: During the war, soldiers not only fought, they continued to live, remembered home, mother, beloved, wrote letters... Letters flew to all corners of the country. Not all of them reached their recipients. But it was an immense happiness for everyone to receive news from their relatives. But different news came.
Ved: All one it hurts,
And it sounds more incessantly every day
Eternal anguish of lamentations
We will meet you both on foot and on horseback,
Tired, stiff - any -
If only it weren’t for the emptiness of funerals,
Don't foresee them!
Number: “Pilots” 8th grade
The Soviet people led 1418 days and nights liberation war. The path to Victory was long and difficult! More than 20 million of them died. There was not a person alive who did not know the bitterness of loss. 20 million went into immortality so that we could live.
Our country lost over twenty million people in that war. The language of numbers is stingy. But listen and imagine... If we dedicated one minute of silence to each victim, we would have to remain silent for 20 million minutes, which is more than thirty-eight years of memorial prayer.
Let's remember! Each one by name! Glorious warriors buried in our land, Those who brought us victory in 1945. And he remained a soldier until his death.
Let's remember! Remember for life all those awarded posthumously! Let your name be immortal!
Bow down, people - both young and old - In honor of those who gave for happiness, Who gave their lives for the sake of life.
Years pass in succession, but we always remember you, dear ones, you will remain forever in our hearts - soldiers of the great Victory.
Ved. The front and the rear are the highest kinship, the highest equality in the world, for this is equality in feat, equality in love for the tormented homeland, equality in unshakable faith in victory!
The country lived and fought in incredibly difficult conditions. It turned into a huge battle camp, seized by a single impulse to expel the enemy from our land. People, forgetting about rest, did not leave the factories for days, trying to give the front as many tanks, planes, weapons, and ammunition as possible. Old men, women and children worked heroically in the rear. Their contribution to the cause of Victory is invaluable. Thank you very much We say today to the workers who now live in our village.
Number:
Ved: Wherever our soldiers are, no matter what duty they perform, they always remember their Motherland. Longing for Russia, for the Motherland, a feeling equal to oneself strong feeling love for wife, children, mother. This feeling, like a reflection, arose in the most desperate, most dangerous moments of the battle, when the soldiers were deaf from the explosions of shells, the cutting screech of fragments, when nothing existed around them...
Ved : The Soviet army defeated fascism. April 30, 1945... At 22:50 the Victory Banner soared over the Reichstag. Fair, liberation struggle was completed.
On the ninth day of jubilant May
When I lay down on silence on earth,
The news rushed from edge to edge
The world has won! The war is over!
The windows were no longer darkened anywhere
In the smoky cities of Europe.
Victory was bought at the price of blood,
May the globe always remember this.
Room: “Heirs of Victory” 4th grade
Ved: Probably, the time will never come when it will be possible to say: enough, enough, everything has already been said about the Great Patriotic War. It is never possible to say everything, because there is no measure of the tragedy of the war, there is no measure of the heroism of the people shown in it, there is no measure of bitterness and suffering.
Ved: We're walking down memory lane
Leafing through the chronicle Great one war.

Presenter 1: Victory Day - two short words,
But what a big scope they have
How infinitely precious
In these wonderful words.
Victory did not come to the people in vain,
It came at an immeasurable cost.
And the blow of war is still severe
He will not get even with the great country.
But we know, having endured all the troubles,
The people saved themselves and the world from darkness
And that’s why Victory Day is so dear
To all generations and to each of us.
Number:
I've never seen war
And I can’t imagine her horror,
But the fact that our world wants silence,
Today I understand very clearly.
Thank you that we didn't have to
Imagine and recognize such torment.
It was all your share -
Anxiety, hunger, cold and separation.
Presenter: Victory went along the front roads
And, filling the air with music,
With hope, with pain, with joy, with anxiety,
Swallowing tears, the whole world was waiting for her!
Victory!
You came like this!
You warmed the world with your warmth,
No, I don’t know other words -
Victory Day - you are beyond words!!!
Ved.: Today the holiday enters every home,
And joy comes to people with it.
We congratulate you on your great day,
Happy day of our glory! Happy Victory Day

He will die forever.
Over the years, without arguing,
We wish you with all our hearts
Health and health again,
And good and great life!
Victory Day
Victory! Which winged word,
It lights up hearts like fire!
It makes anyone tremble
It raises a fighter to feat!

Blows away fatigue and cheers the spirit.
Victory! And the stars shine more radiantly.
Victory! And the sun shines brighter!
We believe that no one will dare to disturb the peace for which so many lives have been given. And for the sake of this faith, remember the horrors of war, for the sake of this faith, take care of the world!
Peace is happiness for all children, for all people. Without peace there is no childhood, no future.
Peace is a morning full of hope and light. This is a day filled with labor worries and accomplishments.

The world is the roar of tractors and combines, not the grinding of tanks. Peace is life, not death.
We need peace - you and me,
And to all the children in the world.
And the dawn should be peaceful,
Which we will meet tomorrow.
We need peace - grass in dew,
Smiling childhood
We need peace beautiful world,
Inherited.
Who cares about this world?
With flowers on the edge?
Who in this world wonderful world
Aimed the cannon?
Why are they scaring us again?
With hidden anger
That's scary atomic war,
Is it a neutron bomb?
“No” - we declare to war,
To all evil and dark forces...
The grass must be green
And the sky is blue.
Do you hear, friend, the streams are ringing,
Birds sing on the branches.
On a wonderful land
We were lucky to be born.
So let it always bloom,
Let the gardens rustle,
Let people look at her
With loving eyes.
It's arrived peacetime, but the scars brutal war remained in every city and village and in each of us. Today, memorial complexes have been created, battle sites are marked with obelisks, monuments with red stars keep the names of the fallen soldiers, and we will remember them forever. Because it is impossible to forget the great disasters and misfortunes that the war brought to our country, our people. We remember at what bloody price the Victory was won, and we will never forget those who gave their lives for the Motherland for our lives and freedom.
The war has passed
The suffering is over
But pain calls to people:
Come on people, never
Let's not forget about this.
Let her memory be true
They keep about this torment,
And the children of today's children,
And our grandchildren's grandchildren.
Let there always be that time
Brings us to memory
And the first snow and rye in bloom,
When he walks in the wind.
And every house and every garden
In a row - big and small,
And the day is sunrise and the day is sunset
Over dark forest scarlet.
Let it be in everything that life is full of.
In everything that is dear to the heart,
We will be given a reminder
About what happened in the world.
9 May 2017, 09:35Victory Day- celebration of the victory of the people of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Celebrated on May 9.
Abroad, Victory Day is celebrated not on May 9, but on May 8.
War-torn Europe celebrated Victory Day sincerely and publicly. May 9, 1945 in almost all European cities people congratulated each other and the winning soldiers.
In London, the center of celebrations was Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. People were congratulated by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
Winston Churchill gave a speech from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
In the USA, there are two whole Victory Days: V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day) and V-J Day(Victory Day over Japan). Americans celebrated both of these Victory Days in 1945 on a grand scale, honoring their veterans and remembering President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Victory Day coincided with the birthday of President Harry Truman. He dedicated the victory to the memory of his predecessor, Franklin Roosevelt, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage a month before Germany's surrender.
Now the veterans are celebrating this way - they go to lay wreaths and salute the fallen in the city of Washington at the memorial to the heroes of World War II. And the real Victory Day in the USA is September 2, 1945.
On this day, September 2, 1945, at 9:02 a.m. Tokyo time on board the U.S. battleship"Missouri" in Tokyo Bay signed the Instrument of Surrender Japanese Empire. On the Japanese side, the document was signed by Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and the chief General Staff Yoshijiro Umezu. Representatives allied powers were Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers Douglas MacArthur, American Admiral Chester Nimitz, commander of the British Pacific Fleet Bruce Fraser Soviet general Kuzma Nikolaevich Derevyanko, Kuomintang General Su Yung-chang, French general J. Leclerc, Australian General T. Blamey, Dutch Admiral K. Halfrich, New Zealand Air Vice-Marshal L. Isit and Canadian Colonel N. Moore-Cosgrave.
Apart from the USSR, May 9 was officially recognized as Victory Day only in Great Britain. This country waged war against fascism from 1939 and until 1941 fought Hitler almost alone.
The British clearly did not have enough strength to defeat Germany, but when faced with the terrible machine of the Wehrmacht, it was they who were able to appreciate the feat of the Soviet people who crushed it.
After the end of the war, many of our veterans remained in Great Britain, so now England has the largest diaspora of USSR veterans in Western Europe. It is worth noting that although Victory Day is celebrated in Britain, it is not done so magnificently and loudly. There are no crowds of celebrating people, large processions or parades on the streets.
On May 9, in London, in the park near the Imperial War Museum, the traditional laying of wreaths at the monument to Soviet soldiers and citizens who died in the war takes place, as well as a meeting of veterans of the Northern convoys on board the cruiser Belfast.
Northern convoys and the maritime brotherhood that united British and Soviet sailors further united the veterans. The celebrations do not differ in pomp, but they are held very dignified, with the participation of members royal family and senior government officials. Living survivors of air battles with the Luftwaffe, icy, but no less hot campaigns northern seas and those who have had the opportunity to swallow the hot sand of the African desert, after meeting on the cruiser Belfast, listen to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. There are fewer and fewer veterans, and if earlier music sounded only for them, now free seats there is more, and everyone who wants to is invited to enjoy it.
The history of the Victory Day holiday dates back to May 9, 1945 when in the suburbs of Berlin the chief of staff supreme command Field Marshal W. Keitel from the Wehrmacht, Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief Marshal of the USSR Georgy Zhukov from the Red Army and British Air Marshal A. Tedder from the Allies signed an act of unconditional and complete surrender of the Wehrmacht.
Berlin was taken on May 2, but German troops resisted the Red Army for more than a week before the fascist command, in order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, finally decided to surrender.
On May 7 at 2:41 a.m. in Reims, the act of unconditional surrender Germany. On behalf of the German High Command, the Instrument of Surrender was signed by General Jodl in the presence of General Walter Smith (on behalf of the Allied Expeditionary Forces), General Ivan Susloparov (on behalf of the Soviet High Command) and General French army Francois Sevez as a witness.
General Susloparov signed the act in Reims at his own peril and risk, since he did not manage to contact the Kremlin in time and receive instructions. Stalin was outraged by the signing of the surrender at Reims, in which the Western allies played the leading role.
Representatives of the allied command (from left to right): Major General I.A. Susloparov, Lieutenant General Walter Smith, Army General Dwight Eisenhower and Air Marshal Arthur Tedder. Reims, May 7, 1945.
The document signed in Rains came into force at 23:00 on May 8th. Many believe that due to the time difference between the USSR and Europe, it turned out that we celebrate this holiday in different days. However, it's not that simple.
The act of surrender was re-signed.
Stalin ordered Marshal Zhukov to accept general surrender in the capital of the defeated state, Berlin, from representatives of the branches of the German armed forces.
On May 8 at 22:43 Central European time (May 9 at 0:43 Moscow time) in the suburbs of Berlin, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, as well as Luftwaffe representative Colonel General Stumpf and Kriegsmarine Admiral von Friedeburg signed the act of complete surrender of Germany again .
“I can’t help but brag,” photographer Petrusov later wrote. - It took me a lot of effort to tear myself away from filming close up- Marshal Zhukov, Keitel and others, give up the hard-won place at the table itself, step aside, climb onto the table and take this photo, which gives the overall picture of the signing. I am rewarded - there is no such second shot.”
However, all these details, while of interest to researchers, in no way affect our attitude towards the very fact of the Great Victory.

And before all these events, Stalin signed a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR that from now on May 9 becomes public holiday Victory Day and is declared a day off. At 6 o'clock in the morning Moscow time, this Decree was read out on the radio by announcer Levitan. The first Victory Day was celebrated with people on the streets congratulating each other, hugging, kissing and crying.
On May 9, in the evening, the Victory Salute was given in Moscow, the largest in the history of the USSR: thirty salvos were fired from a thousand guns.
But May 9th was a day off for only three years. In 1948, it was ordered to forget about the war and devote all efforts to restoring the national economy destroyed by the war.
Only in 1965, already in the relatively prosperous era of Brezhnev, in the 20th anniversary of Victory, the holiday was again given its due. May 9 became a day off again, Parades, large-scale fireworks in all cities - Heroes and honoring of veterans - resumed.
Victory Banner
The banner, taken down from the Reichstag, where Yegorov and Kantaria planted it, did not participate in the first Victory Parade. It bore the name of the 150th division, where the soldiers served, and the country's leadership considered that such a banner could not be a symbol of Victory, which was achieved by the whole people, and not by one division. And in fact, this is correct, since in those days this Banner was not the only one that was hoisted soviet soldiers on the day of the capture of Berlin.
In 2007, a controversy flared up again around the Victory Banner: after all, on it you can see a sickle and a hammer - symbols of a state that no longer exists. And again common sense prevailed, and the banner once again fluttered proudly over the ranks of soldiers and cadets striding across Red Square.
In addition to festive victory parades in the cities of the country, Victory Day has other attributes and traditions:
Laying wreaths and flowers on memorial cemeteries and monuments to soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. Traditionally, flowers are laid on the worship mountain and at the monument to the unknown soldier; in St. Petersburg, the main laying ceremony takes place at the Piskarevsky cemetery and at the memorial plaque on Nevsky Prospekt, in Volgograd on the Mamayev Kurgan. And throughout the country there are thousands of thousands of monuments, memorial plaques and memorial places where everyone, young and old, brings flowers on Victory Day on May 9th.
A minute of silence. Solemn funeral ceremonies of laying flowers are traditionally accompanied by a minute of silence in memory of all those who died during the Great Patriotic War. A minute of silence is a sign of respect to all the people who gave their lives so that today we would have a peaceful sky above our heads.
Victory salute. Victory Day ends with festive fireworks. The first fireworks in Moscow were given in 1943 in honor of the successful offensive of the Red Army, after which a tradition arose of arranging fireworks after successful actions with Hitler's troops. And, of course, one of the most grandiose fireworks was the fireworks on May 9, 1945, on the day the complete surrender of the fascist troops was announced. The fireworks began at 10 p.m. Moscow time; since then, every year at 10 p.m., Victory fireworks begin in many cities, reminding us that the country survived, overthrew the invaders, and is rejoicing! 
St. George Ribbon
.
There are fewer and fewer living witnesses of that war, more and more political forces some foreign countries They are trying to denigrate the heroic soldiers of our victorious army. And in order to pay tribute to the memory and respect of the exploits of our heroes, so that the younger generation knows, remembers and is proud of their history, a new tradition- tie a St. George ribbon on Victory Day. The action is called “I remember! I'm proud!
St. George's Ribbon - bicolor (two-color) orange and black. It traces its history from the ribbon to the soldier's Order of St. George the Victorious, established on November 26, 1769 by Empress Catherine II. This tape with minor changes entered the USSR award system as “ Guards ribbon” is a sign of special distinction for a soldier.
The block of the very honorable “soldier’s” Order of Glory is covered with it. The black color of the ribbon means smoke, and the orange color means flame. In our time, an interesting tradition has emerged associated with this ancient symbol. Young people, on the eve of the Victory Day holiday, wear a ribbon as a sign of respect, memory and solidarity with the heroic Russian soldiers who defended the freedom of our country in the distant 40s.
A fine can easily be issued for disrespectful attitude towards the symbol.
Volunteers are distributing new rules for wearing the Victory symbol among the country's population. From the very beginning of the St. George's Ribbon campaign, on April 24, volunteers have been warning about the strict rules associated with wearing the symbol.
“It is strictly forbidden to attach the ribbon to a bag or car, wear it below the belt, on the head, tie it on the arm, or treat it disrespectfully,” according to the website of the “Volunteers of Victory” project. In case of neglect, a citizen may face a fine».
The St. George ribbon can only be worn on the lapel of a jacket, near the heart. This is reported to everyone who decides to take part in the “St. George’s Ribbon” campaign.
“It is a symbol of respect and memory. Therefore, we believe that the place for him is on the left side of the chest. This is how we show our recognition to the departed heroes,” the volunteers add.
Metronome sounds. In St. Petersburg there is a special attribute of Victory Day - the sound of a metronome from all radio broadcast points. During the difficult 900 days of the siege of Leningrad, the sounds of the metronome did not subside for a minute, announcing that the city was living, the city was breathing. These sounds gave vitality To Leningraders exhausted by the siege, it can be said without exaggeration that the sounds of the metronome saved thousands of lives.
Marches of the "Immortal Regiment"
In an endless stream through the squares and streets of cities on Victory Day, soldiers who died during the war march together with living participants in the processions. " Immortal Regiment"consists of photographs of these people. Descendants have found a way to once again remember dear relatives and friends, pay tribute to their memory, and bow deeply for their feat.
Holiday Parade. The Victory Parade in Russia is traditionally held on Red Square in Moscow. In addition to Moscow, on May 9 Parades are held in other cities - heroes of the former USSR.
The first Parade in honor of the Victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War took place on June 24, 1945 on Red Square.
The decision to hold the Victory Parade on Red Square was made by Stalin in mid-May 1945, almost immediately after the defeat of the last group of Nazi troops resisting on May 13th.
June 22, 1945 The Pravda newspaper published an order supreme commander in chief I.V. Stalin for No. 370: “In commemoration of the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War, I appoint a Parade of Troops on June 24, 1945 in Moscow on Red Square Active Army, Navy and the Moscow garrison - Victory Parade. Bring to the Parade: consolidated regiments of the fronts, consolidated regiment of the People's Commissariat of Defense, consolidated regiment of the Navy, military academies, military schools and troops of the Moscow garrison. The Victory Parade will be hosted by my Deputy Marshal of the Soviet Union Zhukov. Command the Victory Parade to Marshal of the Soviet Union Rokossovsky."
The first Victory Parade was prepared very carefully. According to the recollections of veterans, rehearsals took place for a month and a half. Soldiers and officers, who had been accustomed for four years to crawling on their bellies and moving in short dashes, had to be taught to take a step at a frequency of 120 steps per minute. First, stripes were drawn on the asphalt along the length of the step, and then they even pulled strings that helped set the height of the step. The boots were covered with a special varnish, in which the sky was reflected as if in a mirror, and metal plates were nailed to the soles, which helped to stamp the step. The Parade began at ten o'clock in the morning, almost all this time it was raining, at times turning into downpour, which was recorded by newsreel footage. About forty thousand people took part in the Parade. Zhukov and Rokossovsky rode to Red Square on white and black horses, respectively.
Joseph Vissarionovich himself only watched the Parade from the rostrum of the Lenin Mausoleum. Stalin stood on the platform of the mausoleum on the left, losing the middle to the front-line generals - the winners.
Also present at the podium were Kalinin, Molotov, Budyonny, Voroshilov and other members of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee. Zhukov “received” the Parade from Rokossovsky, rode along with him along the soldiers lined up in ranks and greeted them with three “hurrays”, then climbed to the podium of the Mausoleum and read out a welcoming speech, dedicated to victory USSR over Nazi Germany. Combined regiments of the fronts: Karelian, Leningrad, 1st Baltic, 3rd, 2nd and 1st Belorussian, 1st, 4th, 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian, consolidated regiment solemnly marched across Red Square Navy. As part of the 1st regiment Belorussian Front Representatives of the Polish Army marched in a special column. In front of the marching columns of the fronts were the commanders of the fronts and armies with swords drawn. The banners of the formations were carried by Heroes of the Soviet Union and other order bearers. A column of soldiers was moving behind them special battalion from among the heroes of the Soviet Union and other soldiers who particularly distinguished themselves in battle. They carried the banners and standards of the defeated fascist Germany, which were thrown to the foot of the Mausoleum and set on fire. Further along Red Square, units of the Moscow garrison passed, then cavalrymen galloped, legendary carts passed, air defense formations, artillery, motorcyclists, light armored vehicles and heavy tanks followed. Airplanes piloted by renowned aces flew through the sky.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Victory Day parades ceased again for some time. They were revived again only in the anniversary 1995 year, when two parades took place in Moscow at once: the first on Red Square and the second on memorial complex Poklonnaya Mountain.
