One
of my favorite holidays is The Victory Day. It is the most memorable date in our
country. This holiday is celebrated on the 9th of May to commemorate [отмечать]
the Victory of
the Russian troops [войска]
over the Nazi
invaders [захватчики].
Love for freedom has been a national character of the Russian people. No enemy
has been able to conquer our country. When Russia was attacked by the German
army in the 22nd of June, the Russian people one and all, rose up in
defence of their Motherland. This war is called The Great Patriotic War. The War
lasted for four years and more then twenty million Russian people perished [погибли]
during this war. A magnificent memorial on Poklonnaya Gora has been in order the
Great Victory. Every year this day our family go to the Poklonnaya Gora. We
always have many flowers. We present flowers to veterans and make photos. We
must never forget this holiday because it is our history. I like this holiday
very much.
