The war that ended decades ago was then part of the surrounding reality.Īnd the war, instead of the tragedy of millions of people, began to be presented to the audience as a fun adventure and a cool action movie. In children’s war games, we were always divided into “ours” and “Germans”.
Photo: īack then, the Second World War, or as it was called in the USSR, the Great Patriotic War, surrounded us literally all the time – films about the war were broadcast on television almost every day, as well as television programs, there were plenty of books about it and almost all the older generation were living veterans and witnesses of the war.
However, those who caught a glimpse of the Soviet era, even if only in their childhood, remember well that May 9 at that time was a rather modest holiday – veterans were congratulated, children prepared performances at the Eternal Flame, and solemn programs were broadcast on television. This date is the main state holiday of Russia, which has long turned into a personal brand of President Vladimir Putin. Despite the ongoing bloody war in Ukraine, this year, Russia celebrates May 9, the Day of Victory over fascism with a military parade.
