Victory Day: star concerts, tank exhibition and festive fireworks. Victory Day is a very large-scale holiday for residents of the capital. Victory Day is a field kitchen.

23.11.2019

I remember that in Soviet times, participation in festive events on May 1 and 9, as well as November 7, was voluntary and forced. It was necessary to show how the Soviet people were happy about these holidays, especially May 1 and November 7. May 9 stood apart; nevertheless, people sincerely gathered and rejoiced at meeting friends, especially veterans. To create mass participation at other events, people were simply given time off for participating in such demonstrations, and if they did not come alone, but brought friends or children, then the number of days off increased in proportion to the number of participants brought.

How do demonstrations differ from demonstrations (based on materials from the Soviet-era school curriculum)

Back at school, I remember they explained to us how demonstrations differ from demonstrations. In short, in the USSR - nothing. A manifestation is what we called a demonstration, that is, a peaceful procession in honor of something. A demonstration is a protest against something. But since there are no protests in the USSR and there cannot be, then in our country it’s the same as a manifestation or a demonstration. It just so happened that peaceful marches were also called demonstrations. That's it in a nutshell.

May 9 - Victory Day

Now May 9 has turned into a real Victory Day. People come to festive events with pleasure, and the organizers invite veterans or people who experienced war, congratulate them, and organize concerts.

Congratulations to veterans on Victory Day in Kuzminki Park

Like, for example, in a Moscow park. In the center there is a large concert venue,

where live music is played, there is also a small tent where veterans were invited,

They set the table for them and give them flowers.

Holiday coins are being forged nearby.

Victory Day - field kitchen

And of course, on Victory Day you can’t do without a field kitchen.

There are more than enough people willing to try the soldier’s porridge.

The festive mood is felt everywhere.

About the Victory Parade

After Kuzminki we went to a cafe where we often go. A saleswoman I knew asked: “Have you been to the Parade?” To which we replied that we were in Kuzminki for a festive program. “Can you imagine, a friend of mine has been standing in line since the evening to get to the Parade.”

May 9 at Day of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory On the territory of Kuzminsky Park, namely in Kuzminki Park (part of the park from the side of the Vysota cinema - Yunykh Lenintsev St., 52), a festive program for all ages will take place.
