One of the most important holidays for me is the Victory Day One of the most important holidays for me is the Victory Day. We celebrate it on the 9th of May. It is a patriotic holiday when we commemorates the victory of the USSR over the Nazi Germany.

On this day we honor and remember our veterans and soldiers who sacrificed their health and lives for us and those who died of hunger and ruins. More than 20 million people were killed. The fascists destroyed more than 2000 cities and towns and 70000 villages.

This year students of my school have invited Chistyakov Gennadiy Konstantinovich-the veteran of the Great Patriotic War for special meeting. Gennadiy Konstantinovich has told us a lot about the major battles he took place during the war ( at the Arc of Kursk, for Berlin and others ), interesting stories from his remarkable life. He has many medals and orders for his bravery and contribution to the victory.

We are grateful to Gennadiy Konstantinovich for being so ready to help younger generation in realizing the importance of the Great Patriotic War events. It was the lesson in courage and patriotism for us. No doubt Victory day is a symbol of the national pride of Russia and it’s glory!!!
