Decades separate us from that May day in 1945, when the whole world applauded the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. It was won thanks to the courage and heroism of the Soviet people, the soldiers of the Red Army, who made the main, decisive contribution to the defeat of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and its allies. The heroic achievements of our people and its Armed Forces during the war were and remain an inexhaustible source of patriotism and love for the Fatherland. The modern generation of Russians also turns to this spiritual potential, demonstrated during the fateful period of our history. The legacy of Victory is a powerful moral resource for the development of modern Russia.
