Most recently, the whole world, and especially of the victor countries Russia, to commemorate the date of the Second World War. In Moscow, the celebration took place on a large scale, in the parade was attended by representatives of the allies, allies against fascism.
It took many years, but history presents us with more and more frightening revelation that it was actually. And how many pages of the genuine, not a rewrite for the needs of modern politicians pages still to reveal to us, those who know about the war only from the newspapers and movies. Time passes. Those who fought and survived that carnage, is becoming less. Many, such as my father, the last war "from bell to bell," who gave this battle a few years his life, in general, try to deny everything that happened.

People of the world, for a moment stand up!
Listen, listen,
buzzing from all sides
... ... ... ... ..
Chimes, bells ringing.

By learning the truth about what war was in fact, sometimes, really want to become like an ostrich: head in the sand, and for me at least Tran-grass does not grow. I do not want and will not dig into the details of the terrible human drama. And who should answer for those who have not lived tempered nature years to finish, who do not dolyubil not felt happy to see the birth of children, not grandchildren and children, born, before the war and survived to freedom, and stole his childhood, health , parents, finally? Who can tell me in plain text that one, this and others like him were to blame for that tragedy that the world one way or another has touched every family, every home?
From my point of view, blasphemous Victory Day brandish weapons vyshagivaya slim squares on the charts. It should be dressed all in black, bear portraits, the death toll, shot, executed, buried alive and burned in crematoria ovens, as well as carry rewards those who ate the battle of nations.

Hundreds of thousands burned alive
Construct, built in rows to a number of series.
International column
Talk to us, against us.
(Excerpts from the song "Buhenvaldsky alarm"
words of Alexander Sobolev)

And in the stands should be no complacency luminous first person in the country, and the surviving veterans. On this day the entire planet should spend a day of mourning. Grief and memories - and no bravura march!
This is what will be a tribute to those who are not on their own did not live up to our peaceful prosperous days. After all, agree that no money can not replace happiness to live.
I give a link to the article which inspired me to write these few lines-reflection.
I also advise those who want to open this page on the Internet, read and feedback on it.
If the article I want to add a few words, something about the feedback I'll just say trendy now: No comment! Here it means: "I have no words!
As I said above, the father-soldier did not like talking about the war. Being a convinced communist, he was still a long time after the reserve was a teacher in high school, engaging in social activities. Once he had to be on duty in the dormitory of the Institute, where in addition to Soviet students were still living and foreigners, in particular, the GDR-sheep. I do not know how and why this theme, but the young men from friendly socialist part of Germany have brought to his father talk about the last war: apparently, knew that he was her direct participant. Upon learning that my father liberated Germany, coming to Berlin, they asked my father: "Is it true that the Soviet soldiers rampaged, raping, robbing and killing peaceful residents?"
I was not present during this conversation, I do not know how my father slipped out because he knew the whole truth. When I got home, he took a pill for a headache, and pain in my heart said - excuse me for a tautology, but otherwise convey the then state of my father, I can not: 'What could I say to them? Truth? So they would have hated not only me but our whole country! "No, then the pope kept silent about the truth. And she seems to go away with him to the grave. And you live, I highly recommend: go to this story. Read it.

And I like to quote excerpts from several articles published in the media during the holidays.
Here they are.

Victory Day - a holiday when people who never fought, but they have all promised to those who fought, but do not have anything that someday, and they all will.

On the eve of Victory Day WWII veteran Gorechkina Tamara, who lives in Butyrsky district of Moscow, received a strange gift - a fire extinguisher.
- Came out of my council and presented a fire extinguisher - with a puzzled look on the old gift. - More and car ... And I have rights and some not. Why is he to me? Just spit in the soul, such an insult. I immediately pressure skakanulo, barely pumped.
Really very strange Present, if not harder. But the spokesman explained the Kyiv mayor Sergei Tsoi, city authorities had no intention to mock veterans.
- It's a gift not from the city - told Komsomolskaya Pravda Choi - and from the capital's ministry. They are on the eve of the festival decided to provide veterans extinguishers for safety. And why not? What's so offensive? Especially do not give car fire extinguishers, but the most common - for residential premises. As for the gifts from the city, Moscow is doing their veterans regularly, not only on the Day of Victory: this allowance and additional benefits.
But there are special Present at the Victory Day - a festive food set. Such a gift to the city makes from year to year. So this time, except for fire extinguishers, veterans received official ration of corned beef and condensed milk.

"Dali would have a good pension, so that people can not save and do not count every penny - that it would be a real gratitude for the victory," - said the Chairman of the Interregional Public Organization of War Veterans, Labor, the Armed Forces and law enforcement Yuri Danilovich Volgin.

Victory Day for the Russian authorities of various levels have long become not a holiday for those who made this victory, and in the patriotic education of youth. The money spent on organizing parades, solemn meetings with the participation of the first and second of the state, greatly exceed the amount allocated for gifts. Yes, and themselves "gifts" resemble a set of humanitarian assistance, as a token of gratitude grateful descendants, of which on the eve of talk of all the televisions and microphones.
By the way, the administration of cities and municipalities are not prepared to share information about how much money is spent on gifts.

Dear drivers, if you do have a feeling that this is not just a holiday, but also a tribute to the people who price their blood and lives while fighting for our future - make it a good thing!
On this day, many of those few who survived to this day, will go somewhere, maybe a visit to relatives, perhaps, to colleagues, may still be far ... You'll see them and can not go wrong that day.
Simply, if there is a possibility (as it always is, if you think) stop and offer free ride. A simple action, but this action and not just words and inscriptions on the sides of cars. 1.5 hours a holiday holidays and 3-5 liters of gasoline or diesel fuel does not overwhelm us.
Personally, I'm going that way to celebrate this holiday - to do what I can for those people who have gone through hell to protect our world from enslavement, and possibly destruction, who knows ....
