User:MsGroovy11/The 75th Anniversary of the Great Victory

Their Red Banner, Their soldierly effort Are fondly-remembered For boundless valour And their martial ardor.

The Great Patriotic War lasting from 22 June 1941 until 9 May 1945 has handed both a victory and inalienable glory to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics getting ahead to a great extent of other countries by victory. Furthermore, the essential point to remember that the USSR has made a big difference by freeing Central and Eastern European nations from Nazism. A significant symbol of The Soviet Union was the Red banner of Victory. Banner of Victory takes the form of the red flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the USSR) with inscription «150th rifle order of Kutuzov 2 class Idritskaya division of the 79th rifle corps of the 3rd attack army of the 1st Belorussian front»

Despite the positive aspects of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, war claimed numerous casualties. The USSR was in need of money and efforts to recoup its losses. Nevertheless, the Soviet Union coped with all difficulties and got country’s economy back on its feet for 5 years. In memory of the Great Patriotic War installed lots of monuments, such as "The Motherland calls" in Volgograd, "Heroic defenders of Leningrad" in St. Petersburg, “Alyosha Monument” (“Monument of the Defenders of the Soviet Arctic during the Great Patriotic War”) in Murmansk, Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow; written many literary works, for instance, a novel “They Fought for Their Country” done by Mikhail Sholokhov, “The Dawns are Quiet Here” done by Boris Vasiliev, the story “Killed near Moscow” done by Konstantin Vorobyev, a novel “The Storm” done by Ilya Ehrenburg; composed a lot of songs, for example, “Holy war”( Alexander Alexandrov’s music, Vasily Lebedev-Kumach’s lyrics) “In a dugout”( Konstantin Listov’s music, Alexey Surkov’s lyrics), “We Need One Victory”(Bulat Okudzhava’s song), “Blue handkerchief” (Jerzy Petersburski’s music, Yakov Galitsky’s and Mikhail Maksimov’s lyrics).

When martyred by anguishes, Encouraged with bliss We hear world’s cheers And burst into tears!

Never forget Great Victory!
