Happy Victory Day - drink up :drinkup

holiday of a great victory? wtf

S dnem pobedi! Souz nerushmmih respublik svobodnih na veki spoltila velikaia rus! Za rodinu!!!

Thats right some people celberate saints...some people independence. We celbrate war vicotries!

The fighting of WWII tn Europe ended on May 2nd, 1945. The surrender of German troops was signed on May 4th and 5th but officially the war ended at midnight on May 8th 1945. To remember this important event, the Russians created a national holiday called Victory Day which is celebrated on May 9th in Russia.

When Nazi Germany attacked Russia or the Soviet Union, as it was known then, the Russian army pushed the Germans all the way back to Berlin which helped to defeat Hitler's forces.

The main reason for the celebration of Victory Day was to remember the people who died in the war. On that day, flowers are laid on their graves and veterans that are still alive go out on the streets wearing their medals and orders. There are few of them left now days and the number is getting smaller every year.

Russia mainly fought a war to defend itself, which is called a "patriotic war". That is what most Russians call WWII. In Russia almost all the families have at least one person who took part in the war. The other old citizens who did not fight during the war had to work in factories to make guns and preparations, which wasn't easier than fighting. They too are honored on Victory Day.

If it's a national excuse to get drunk, YAY Russians...

Even better when the national day to get drunk is backed by something credible like a celebration of a War Victory... nothing like drinking with a purpose.

:1orglaugh

was looking to do that myself haha

Vseh s Dnem Pobedy!!!

The capitulation pact was signed at 22:43 on May 8th according to CET, and at 0:43 on May 9th according to Moscow time. So the Great Victory Day is May 9th here in Russia.

You said "helped"? So helped to whom???

Congrats everyone,

it's interesting how history is taught differently in every country. In Russian - it's one of the biggest holidays (and rightfully so).. in US - nobody even heard about it :(

Vseh s prazdnikom! Day Bog vsem mira i lybvi!

klixxxgirl, it is interesting...

klixxxgirl.... people in the US have heard about it... its called "Memorial Day". you know... a day to remember. its not like Russia where its a day to gloat about losing 20-30 million people... about kids being forced to charge into german machine guns without weapons. st petersburg being blockaded for 3 years with people starving and dying to the point that dead litter the streets and they are resorting to cannibalism to survive. german soldiers executiing hundreds of thousands of russian prisoners of war. ukrainians and others siding with nazis and killing their own people. the list goes on and on and on...

its terrible watching people in russia get drunk and act like assholes all in "celebration" of what is undeniably the greatest human tragedy to ever occur on this planet, disrespecting all those that gave their lives and were just murdered.

maybe the world should celebrate "day of the liberation of jews" as a great holiday... afterall, they only lost 6,000,000 and thats quite an improvement over russia's losses.



a victory?

ceeeeelebrate gooood times cmon!

;)

Well this is a very disturbing thread

?My instinct as an individualist and artist has always warned me most urgently against this capacity of men for becoming drunk on collective suffering, collective pride, collective hatred, and collective honor. When this morbid exaltation becomes perceptible in a room, a hall, a village, a city, or a country, I grow cold and distrustful; a shudder comes over me, for already, while most of my fellow men are still weeping with rapture and enthusiasm, still cheering and venting protestations of brotherhood, I see blood flowing and cities going up in flames.?
