Russia’s heavy attack on Ukraine this round There is only a day before Russia will hold its Victory Day parade on May 9 or tomorrow What is Victory Day and why is it important to Russia?
May 9 is one of the most important dates in the Russian political calendar. Because this was the day the Red Army of the Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany and led to the end of the Second World War.
The Second World War began in September 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded neighboring Europe. from Poland to France
Later, in June 1941, Hitler ordered hundreds of thousands of Nazi troops to invade the Soviet Union in a blitzkrieg called “Barbarossa,” with the goal of expanding the territory and eliminating communism.
Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union at the time Ordered the Red Army to be mobilized in response to the incoming Nazi troops. Battles in many battles such as the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Shev were fierce.
The Nazi army was at a disadvantage as winter approached. In the middle of the cold weather and a temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, causing problems in the supply of weapons, ammunition, clothes and food to the soldiers on the front line. Hundreds of thousands of Nazi soldiers were killed by the Red Army. some froze to death
The Soviet Union suffered many casualties. It is estimated that more than 27 million soldiers and civilians were killed.
However, the Soviets were able to defend the land. The Battle of Barbarossa, which lasted for more than 10 months, ended with the defeat of the Nazi army.
Later in April 1945, the Soviet Red Army, along with Allied forces in the United States, Great Britain, and France, besieged Berlin. the capital of Germany The Nazi army was cornered before April 30 Adolf Hitler decided to commit suicide.
After that, the US army Britain and France attacked West Berlin. before the Nazi army surrendered and only the eastern flank remained
Then, on May 8, the Soviet Red Army launched an attack against the Nazis from East Berlin.
Some Red Army soldiers advanced through the center of the city. Raise the hammer and sickle flag above the capital’s burning parliament building. Before Germany signed the Unconditional Surrender Treaty
The victory of the Red Army in 1945 is the proudest moment of modern Russia. There is no greater history than this moment.
This story is told through a grand celebration on May 9th every year. The atmosphere of this year’s Victory Day parade will not be as lively as in previous years, and ceremonies will only be held in large cities such as Moscow or St Petersburg.
Now the Russian news agency reports that governors from different states More than 21 regions in Russia have canceled the 2023 Victory Day parade for security reasons. After Russia was attacked several times in the last week.
According to the public opinion survey in Moscow. The Russian capital is about to host a Victory Day parade amid dangerous and vulnerable situations.
Russian citizens argue that the government should not cancel the parade. Because it is an important ceremony to commemorate the ancestors who sacrificed their lives to protect the Russian land. As well as being an inspiration and communicating to the people what the government is doing.
