“…No one has been forgotten
and nothing has been
forgotten”.
Olga Bergholts.
When the soldiers performed
their heroic deeds, they did
not think of honours. They
thought of their Motherland.
Listen to the tale of those
who did their best for our
Great Victory. This will never
be forgotten!

For Russia World War II
started on 22 June 1941.
Leningrad was of great
importance for the Nazi
command. They planned to
take the city by storm. The
siege of Leningrad began by
the 8 - the of September
1941.Every day a great
number of civilians were
killed or died from hunger.
The main inhabitants of the
city were women, children
and old people.
The blockade of Leningrad lasted about 900 days from the 8 – th of
September 1941 till the 27-th of January 1944.The history doesn’t know the
other example of such a blockade.

The Tanya Savicheva’s Blockade Diary.
In large child’s script, Tanya
wrote on the pages of her ABC book
the dates and times as each member
of her family-sister, brother,
grandmother, uncle and mother-died
one after another. Finally come the
tragic lines: “The Savichevs have
died. Everybody has died. Only
Tanya is alive”. Tanya Savicheva
was evacuated from the blockade
Leningrad, but she was too weak to
recover from the effects of
starvation.

5.

Khatyn was a small Byelorussian village. On March 22, 1943 Khatyn
was no more. 149 Khatyn people were exterminated, 75 children among
them. The village has not only become a monument to itself but a symbol
of a terrible human tragedy. Khatyn is a reminder and a warning.
186 Byelorussian villages were burned down together with
their population . Khatyn makes people think well and look back at the
Mankind’s life experience.

6.

Josef Kaminski was the only villager who escaped death. He
stands there, his son in the arms, to remind people of unforgettable
grief. All should go to Khatyn. All should see Khatyn. All should
remember Khatyn.

The memory of the heart
calls us to the sacred soil of
Stalingrad.
It
is
sixty
kilometres long. Its houses,
plants and factories are built
from north to south along the
right bank of the Volga.
The battles here and in the
region lasted from 1942 till
1943. People were defending
Stalingrad
and
its
surroundings to the last drop
of blood despite heavy
bombing
and
artillery
bombardment. It was a
turning point in the history of
the war.
Komarova Z I, the World War II veteran, remembers well the difficult time of
that battle.

We can see the famous Tchkalov’s staircase (Nizhny Novgorod) that leads to
the Volga. Its construction started in 1943 to mark the victory in Stalingrad
(architects Yakovlev, Rudnev and Muntz) and was completed in 1949.In 1985,
during the 40th Anniversary of the Victory festivities, the “Gueroy” boat, once a
combat ship of the Volga Military Flotilia in the W.W.II, found its eternal anchorage
at the foot of the staircase.

The battle near Kursk (the 5th
of July the 23d of August 1943) was
of great importance for our country.
Six Russian fronts took part in
combat operations. The battle of
tanks near Prokhorovka took place
on the 12th of July. It was another
step to the disgraceful crash of the
German Army.
Boris Ivanovich Sharov, the
World War II veteran, took
part in combat operations near
Kursk. He was badly
wounded being only 19 years
old. He was awarded an order
and a medal.

10.

Gorky proved to be a real arsenal of victory. Every third cannon , tank, selfpropelled
machine came from Goky . More than 16 thousand planes, 22
submarines were produced in the plants of the city. The memorial “Gorkovites
supporting the Army” was opened in the 1975 . Tank T- 34 was recognized as
the best of WW 2.It was developed in Krasnoe Sormovo Plant.

11.

The majority of able – bodied men went to
the front. The main inhabitants of cities and
villages were women, children and old people.
Cities and towns produced cannons, tanks,
planes, other machines. Village people also
tried to support the Army. LI Streknyova
(photo2, in the middle), a 14 – year girl had to
leave her school and work hard. She was
awarded a medal for her labour prowess .

The World War II veterans,
former
defenders
of
our
Motherland recall their comrades
–in- arms and tell the stories of
their own fates. All of them have
been awarded orders and medals.

In Russia, traditionally, the Victory
Day is celebrated on the 9 – th of May
and on that day we remember all those
who gave their lives for future
generations. We go to the Unknown
Soldier’s tomb to lay flowers and to
honour the memory of all the soldiers
killed in the war.
We listen to war stories.From our
veterans we learn how courageous and
faithful common people can be, how
much they love their Motherland and
how selflessly they fight for its
independence!
