Yesterday the whole country celebrated Victory day. The 9th of May is
the day when the Russians recollect the victory in the Great Patriotic
War (22 June 1941 - 9 May 1945) over fascists. This time I met the 9th
of May in my hometown Krasnogorsk. I visited the main places of
celebrations.
The 68th Anniversary celebration programm started
with an official ceremony at the Eternal flame. Representatives of
Municipal Administration and other local structures congratulated
veterans and inhabitants of the town. Aleksander Zaldostanov, the President of bike club
"Night Wolves" said a few warm words for veterans. In the end of the ceremony all
participants and guests laid wreaths and flowers by the Eternal flame
and remembered countrymen who died 68 years ago.
After that all
festivities passed to our local concert hall. A big square near the hall
was full od people. Some of them went to amusement park with children,
some people sat in the open-air cafe, some people visited a concert. But
not so long after the concert begun people preferred to start dancing.
Veterans were the most active dancers. They were wonderful, beautiful
and very cheerful.
The Victory day finished with fireworks which caused applauses of everybody who saw it.
