What does May 9 mean to young people? What does Victory Day mean to you? Just a "red" day of the calendar

For me, Victory Day is a very important and solemn day. It really is a holiday with tears in the eyes. These are tears of pain for the departed warriors. And tears of joy and pride for the victory over evil. It is bad that in our time not all children diligently study history. Many do not even know about the horrors and terrible events that took place in wartime. Soldiers defended the future of our country. Thanks to them, we can now live, study, work, raise and educate children. The dead soldiers gave happiness and prosperity to our common homeland. And so that the lives given are not in vain, we must comply. You need to protect your homeland.

We must honor the memory of the fallen soldiers, as well as the people who worked in the rear, creating weapons and things necessary for the front, food. We must remember the feats of heroes and the hard work of nurses who carried the wounded from the battlefields. We must not forget those people, our ancestors, who restored the country and our city from the ruins after the war, manually re-layed tram tracks. If not for all these people, there would be no us and our calm, peaceful life. When I hear the song "Victory Day" performed by Leshchenko, tears always come to my eyes. I love military songs in general. And under the march "Farewell of the Slavyanka" I am always overwhelmed with a deep sense of pride. On the next Victory Day, my mother and I will definitely take part in the Immortal Regiment project. Let's take a photo of our grandfather and walk with him along the main square of our city. When we looked at the participants of this action last time, my mother even cried.

I am sure that the feat of the participants in the Great Patriotic War should not be forgotten. It is necessary to take care of veterans, to take care of them, because there are very few of them now. And most importantly, remember them not only on May 9th. The feat of the fallen warriors is immortal. And we must remember at what price happiness is won.

Short version May 9

Victory Day is a solemn, but very sad and even difficult holiday. It reminds us of a long and bloody war.

All the teachers at school tell us a lot about the war. I myself try to read more and watch a lot of war films. My favorite films about the war are "Officers" and "Only Old Men Go to Battle". These are very good and sincere films showing the life of people in wartime. I know how much pain the civilians endured in wartime, how hard it was for the soldiers at the front, what torments the Russian people endured. But the soldiers got up and went into battle. We went to the end. They understood that the lives of their relatives and friends, as well as the future of the whole country, depended on them. They defended their honor and the peaceful life of the Motherland.

Future generations have no right to forget the events of the war. All the citizens of the state should know the price of victory and peaceful life. Eternal memory to the heroes.

Composition No. 3 May 9 - Victory Day

Many from early childhood are familiar with this holiday. On this day, solemn parades are held annually with the participation of various military equipment, military and veterans who participated in hostilities during the war. Every year these parades are televised, but you can also watch them in person - they are usually held in the main square of the city and start at a pre-announced time.

Parades are usually accompanied by solemn musical accompaniment and joyful cries of "Hurrah!". But why is this holiday given so much attention? The fact is that more than 70 years ago, the Soviet Union defeated Germany, which on June 22, 1941 launched an offensive against our Motherland in order to seize power over the country. On June 22, 1941, at exactly 4 am, an announcement was made on the radio by the famous announcer Levitan that the war had begun. German troops invaded the territory of the Soviet Union and expected to win as soon as possible. But, unexpectedly for themselves, they met desperate resistance from the inhabitants of the USSR - almost everyone, regardless of gender and age, stood up to defend their homeland.

Thanks to the courage and bravery of the Soviet people, after 4 years of war, the enemy was defeated. On May 8, 1941, the enemy was finally expelled, the occupied territories were liberated, and May 9 was proclaimed "Victory Day". But not only soldiers died at the enemy - many residents of the Soviet Union also died in this fierce battle (for comparison: the USSR 6.329 million people, Germany 3,604.8 thousand), so Victory Day causes not only joy for our country, but also a feeling longing for loved ones, for whom this fight was the last.

In honor of the victory, an international public action "Immortal Regiment" has recently been held, where everyone can honor the memory of their deceased relatives. At present, it is less and less reminiscent of the events of that time - all the buildings have been restored, and there are very few veterans who can tell about those events. But, despite this, pride in this great victory continues to fill the hearts for many years to come. And Victory Day will remain in history for centuries.

brief discussion Victory Day Grade 6

The ninth day of the last month of spring is a significant and important holiday not only for the Russian people, but also for many people of our planet. On this day, we rejoice and congratulate each other on the victory, remember and mourn for those who died in that difficult time, wipe away tears of joy when we watch films about the Great Victory and admire watching the parade on the main square of the country.

The spirit of triumph and tragedy will be in the air. And no matter how the sky above people's heads on this holiday, cloudy or sunny, cool or sultry, it will always light up with festive and colorful fireworks in all corners of invincible Russia.

Composition May 9 - Victory Day in my city

Today is a sunny day. It seems that not only people, but also nature celebrates Victory Day - May 9th. For a week now, festive flags have been hanging around the city and crossroads have been decorated. And thanks to the good weather, the mood of the people is already upbeat.

Today in our city there will be a parade on the main square. Our whole family goes there every year. They show military equipment from the times of the Great Patriotic War and modern ones. I like old cars that, despite their age, proudly move around the square. Soldiers in the clothes of those times are sitting in these cars, and it seems as if those years since the great victory did not exist.

Veterans are always present at the parade. They have so many medals, they are all our heroes. The moment when children give them flowers is especially touching.

In our family, May 9 is a special holiday because my grandfather died in the war. He did not live to win 8 months. Grandma cries when she talks about him.

After the parade, we walk around the city. First along the bay, then we go to the center. There are interesting events in the parks. We return tired but happy.

I think that the people of our planet should not forget the lesson that those difficult times taught us.

Reasoning What is victory day, OGE 15.3, in the city.

Solzhenitsyn, as a writer-philosopher, was always concerned about eternal questions, the problems of the present. All disturbing thoughts could not help but find their reflection in his work.

More than 70 years have passed since the explosions of the Great Patriotic War died down. We have an idea about that war only from books and films, and few of us have already communicated with living participants in the battles. But here comes May 9th.

What are your feelings on this day? What does Memorial Day mean to you personally?

It means a lot, and the feelings are exciting. Thanks to our God and great veterans for the fact that we live in peace! Unfortunately, only on May 9 we think about it and remember! Olga

For me, this is a personal and family holiday - my paternal grandfather went through the entire war, and then fought with the Japanese. This is a day of special memory that my homeland was protected from the most terrible enemy of those years. This day shows that any of us must and can stand up for loved ones at the right time. This is a day that everyone should remember. Eugene

Both of my grandfathers were in the war. My father's father was a tanker, he fought on the Neva patch. My mother's father lived in besieged Leningrad. Both order bearers, heroes. For me, May 9 from a very young age was a special day. On this day, we often went over the orders and medals of both grandfathers. And I still didn’t understand their meaning, but I knew that my grandfathers were very strong and courageous. Now that I'm an adult, I regret that I didn't get to meet them.

Every year there are fewer and fewer veterans. Many have forgotten what the warmth and love of their children is. And we are mired in the turmoil of the earth.

There was an article on the Internet that said how one young man saw a grandmother with a half-empty basket at the checkout of a store, who was looking for money in her pockets to pay for the purchase, and who did not have enough money to pay it in full. And he did a truly noble deed. Taking her by the hand, he led her back to the store, bought her a full basket of food, drove her home, thanked her and left. On May 9, many people help veterans, give flowers, and on the rest of the year they are not even remembered. In my opinion, there is no fixed date for helping people. It doesn't matter if it's a veteran or just a passer-by, May 9 or any other day. If we have humility and humanity in our hearts, then each of us, at the sight of the same grandmother, will act like that young man. Nicholas

On this day, since childhood, I have been feeling a special thrill, I think what this victory meant, at what cost it was given. "Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten". When my children grow up, I will certainly tell them about the parades that I saw, and about the veterans with whom I was lucky to meet. They are living history. Appreciate those who are still alive, because soon they will be gone forever. And with them an entire era... Ekaterina

In childhood, in school years, Victory Day was not felt the way it is now. It is now that you understand what he really means to me and to the whole nation as a whole. I especially began to understand this in the alternative service. In boarding schools there are still war veterans, oddly enough. I remember one grandmother, whom I looked after, named Lyuba. During the war, she worked at a defense factory. So, her children were sent to a boarding school, and perhaps, thanks to such institutions, abandoned / abandoned / forgotten people have, I’m not ashamed of this word, a calm old age.

I remember there was a case when we celebrated the New Year with the staff of the orphanage. Fireworks rang out in the street. During the volleys, we suddenly hear from grandmother Lyuba’s room: “War, war, war!” At first it was funny to us, but when we went to visit her, we were not laughing - she was lying in bed and crying (at that time she was in the mental ward, and she was 99 years old!) After this incident, I became even more serious relate to this significant date and to everything connected with it. Yes, with age, you start to look at many things in life differently. Daniel

For me, Victory Day means that there was a war. And it's terrible. It is terrible that people had to endure such grief, it is terrible that they had to kill and see mass bloodshed. Therefore, on May 9, I rejoice in the world and pray that humanity will never again know such periods of history. Masha

For me personally, this is the day of the end of the war, a day that I do not know, since I am from a different generation, but it is a joy. It is sad that on May 9, veterans and the St. George ribbon symbol have become political weapons in our time. It is sad that under the guise of patriotism and calling the fraternal people fascists, politicians are unleashing a new war. It is sad that many facts of the murder of our own under Stalin overshadow this bright date. But it's better to know the truth, no matter how sad it may be.

Veterans need to be protected and separate this date and symbols from politics. Veterans need to be visited and paid attention not only on May 9, because they need communication. Sergei

To celebrate it or not is everyone's business. But be sure to remember it! On this day, we remember the dead and the living, soldiers and civilians - all thanks to whom victory was won in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. The whole country salutes the soldiers who fought for our freedom against the Nazi invaders, so remembering this day is a must. We were not ready for war, but we won it. This holiday is a gratitude to those people who gave their lives for their homeland. Although I do not agree that on this day they have a disco in our park. Concert, rally, parades, fireworks - it's good. But to arrange ordinary dances is stupid. Previously, as far as I remember, there were demonstrations where columns with balloons and flags marched, now these traditions are returning, columns of military equipment are marching in many cities, demonstrating their power! It is very important to remind people that they live in a strong country that can defend itself just as much as before.

Maria, 19 years old

For me, May 9th is a great holiday. A holiday for all who owe the fallen and survivors of the battlefield of those times that we live a free life. This is a great holiday, indeed the most significant for all people around the world. The facts about the cruel and bloody Great Patriotic War went down in history and took root in the memory for many generations to come. And there is no way to let the current generations forget about this day. After all, witnesses of those monstrous events are still alive. Each of the veterans keeps the memory of the events of the war. Experiences about the loss of comrades-in-arms, the memory of torture in concentration camps and hunger are alive. Do not count all the tragic stories that the participants in the war experienced. Each of them has their own unique memories. It’s even scary to imagine what would have happened if we had lost the Great Patriotic War. After all, it is only thanks to our veterans that we live today and enjoy the peaceful sky above our heads. We have a future! So let's once again lay flowers at the Eternal Flame, in memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the victory. And we will say words of gratitude and sincere wishes of health and long life to the surviving veterans. We, the younger generation, remember and honor their deeds.

Alexey, 23 years old

The Day of Victory over fascist Germany in the Great Patriotic War is not in vain one of the most revered holidays - both in Russia and in the CIS countries. But is it still necessary to celebrate this day so widely? Especially considering the fact that Germany signed the surrender on the night of May 7-8. And in general, a lot of time has passed, there are fewer and fewer people who remember the events of those days. And we, who did not feel the hardships of the war years, do not understand the joy of victory to the same extent that they feel. There are many wars in the history of Russia, many victories, but we do not celebrate them all! Then you can celebrate the Battle of Kulikovo and the defeat of Napoleon. But we no longer celebrate the victory in these battles so widely, although they are no less significant for the history of Russia. Do not forget how the state treats the participants of past hostilities. I heard that this year the president has allocated personal cards and symbolic cash payments for veterans of the Great Patriotic War. The congratulations of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief in honor of the 67th anniversary of the Victory will be limited to this, although many of the veterans live in crumbling huts and are in dire need of better living conditions. And instead of helping those who gave us freedom, we throw fireworks, concerts, parades. This holiday turns for many into an ordinary day off, on which you can go to a concert without thinking about what efforts our soldiers gave us this holiday. We forget about them - about those thanks to whom and for whom this holiday is.

Zinaida Fedorovna, 55 years old

May 9th is a big holiday in Russia. We have celebrated and will continue to celebrate. My father is a front-line soldier, many medals remained from him as a keepsake to his descendants. We always go with my family to his cemetery on May 9th. And my uncle survived the siege of Leningrad, he is no longer alive either. But the bright memory of them and their feat will live in my heart all my life. They did something for us that cannot be overestimated. They gave us freedom. They gave us a peaceful sky overhead. Thanks to them, you can not be afraid of tomorrow. I can't help but celebrate Victory Day, because it's the second birthday of my father and my uncle. The second birthday of the entire Soviet people. I consider it my duty to visit the cemetery and lay flowers on this great holiday as a token of gratitude for the future that has been given to us. I believe that those who do not respect the May 9th holiday do not respect themselves, their ancestors, or history. Everyone should know the history of war and victory, because as long as everyone remembers, as long as everyone is grateful to the fallen and the living, we are invincible. And I consider attempts to rewrite history to please fascism immoral and unprincipled. Such acts must be nipped in the bud.

Valentina Semyonovna, 49 years old

I want to say heartfelt thanks and wish health to all veterans and bow low to those who are no longer with us. Thanks to you we live! And this is already a lot. My father went to war in 1942 as an eighteen year old boy and returned home. On May 9, he always considered his second birthday, and, ironically, we buried him on June 22 - the day the terrible war began. He has always been and will always be my role model. How those who fought serve as an example for future generations. Thank you, warriors-liberators, and those who worked in the rear! Thanks to you, we are alive. Thanks to you, we are free. Thanks to you, our children wake up calmly and calmly go to school. Without you, there would be neither us, nor our country, nor our independence. May 9 is your holiday! We will keep him in our hearts and hold him sacred. And we will cultivate respect for him in our children and grandchildren.

And yet the reduced number of hours devoted to studying it today is taking its toll on the current generation of youth. Children do not know the names of pioneer heroes, Komsomol members of the Young Guard, famous military leaders, the chronology of great battles. These topics are either simply not in the school curriculum, or they are given in a truncated form.
Vlada Belyaninova, 5th grade:
May 9 is a solemn and significant day for my family and for many people. Everyone knows that the Great Patriotic War began 72 years ago. It was very scary to go into battle, but people went, fought, gave their lives. We, the modern generation, remember, must remember this! I don't know my great-grandfathers who fought and won this war because they died. But my family remembers them. We live thanks to their feat. This must be remembered and appreciated!
Angelina Khatizova, 5th grade:
May 9 is a great and solemn holiday. After all, if it were not for the Victory that Russia won in the Great Patriotic War, there would probably be no us. It was attended by people who fought for our country. These are veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Nowadays, on May 9, rallies, concerts are held, and fireworks are launched in their honor. I am very proud of my country and this great holiday.
Oleg Kushnarev, 5th grade:
Victory Day is a great holiday. Today, there are few people left alive who defended our Motherland. My great-grandfather Viktor Nikiforovich Korolev went to the front as a young man. He fought, was captured, but returned home. My mother told me that my grandfather never talked about the war. Only the fact that in those years the war touched every family. Millions of people have gone through these terrible trials.
It is a pity that I did not manage to find him alive, because much could have been heard firsthand.
Ekaterina Golubeva, 7th grade:
Victory Day is a great holiday. On this day, we express great respect and gratitude to those people who for several years fought, not sparing their lives, for the Motherland, so that we now live well and freely. We must remember veterans not only on Victory Day! Dear veterans! Thank you for fighting for our bright future. Happiness and health to you!
Vasilina Vasilyeva, 9th grade:
Often the older generation asks the question: what does the Victory Day holiday mean for today's youth? There are a lot of discussions on the Internet about this topic. Someone thinks that it would be better if the Germans won, that we live in an uncivilized country. I, like most of my peers, do not think so. After all, if the Russians had lost this war, then we would not have been born, or Russia would have been in slavery to Germany. Veterans must be honored! And every time we come to a rally in honor of Victory Day, we pay tribute to Russian soldiers, not only to those who are alive now, but also to those who gave their lives defending their Motherland.
Chernechkin Ivan, 9th grade:
I don't have grandparents who could talk about the war. My generation does not know all the horrors that the older generation had to endure during the war. A great feeling of gratitude lives in my heart to those who brought us peace, won that terrible war - to our veterans.
With my family and class every year, on May 9, I go to a rally dedicated to Victory Day. Among all the inhabitants of the village, veterans with military awards on their chests stand out on this day, but every year there are fewer and fewer of them. It is sad to see now the infirm old people, remembering their glorious youth, weeping for their dead comrades.
We have no right to forget them, who defended the freedom and independence of peoples. And not only to remember, but to be worthy of their feat, to prevent the repetition of a modern war.
Vika Lukyanova, 10th grade:
This holiday is very important in my life. The people who gave their lives for the future of the country make me feel proud of the feats they have accomplished. Without them, who knows, maybe our world would look very different. A story that is very large is difficult to convey to the younger generation. It is important to remember people to congratulate the veterans on the great holiday, to try to do something nice for them.
Vlad Lesnov, 11th grade:
I understand why you asked this question. Adults believe that for our generation this holiday has long gone down in history and has ceased to be significant. This is not true! We live in peace, we are not in slavery - thanks to the veterans for this!
