This year in comparison with the last year there were more portraits of I.V. Stalin and many more red flags and banners, including flags with the emblem of the USSR.

poem
Immortal regiment dedicated
Goes in formation "Immortal regiment",
And in it fathers and our grandfathers!
All who saintly performed duty
In the name of righteous Victory!
For each - its own war,
Its a difficult way, its fatigue!
But the Motherland is always the same
And we got it peaceful!
At the cost of innumerable ills
At the cost of losses and heroism ...
The world grew by the number of victories
And the Fatherland was famous for them!
They fought to the end:
So honor and conscience understood!
While their hearts were beating,
They gave themselves a victory!
Few came from the war
They are so young!
"Immortal ..." great-grandsons are strong,
We look at the eyes of the living!
Eyes - in the eyes, face - in the face,
In order not to know spiritual laziness!
We look at the eyes of the Fathers
Great power of generations!
We are in the years of peaceful silence,
We meet heavenly dawns ...
Thank you, sons of war,
Heroes of the righteous Victory!
We vow to preserve the fragile world,
And your feat of praise for centuries!
Carry the thread
And light, holy MEMORY!
Happy Victory Day!
Lysenko E.M., May 9, 2019, Leningrad
