Victory Day in Russia

On the 9th of May whole Russia celebrated its most significant holiday - the Victory Day - established due to the great victory in 1945.
During the long years of the war Russia experienced a lot, millions of people were killed...

This Day is a special Day for everyone.
How do the Russians celebrate it?

Almost every state organises a parade - mostly military technique is demonstrated.
Naturally, the most important parade is at red Square in Moscow. The President and all the civil servants are present there. Moreover, veterans, honoured heroes of the war, are present there and receive congratulations and enjoy this great for them holiday. However, almost every big park of Moscow becomes a place for celebrations (Park Gorkogo, Park Pobedi)

After it some veterans go to the Theatre Square, near Bolschoy Theatre, where festive, sincere atmosphere is set...You may here military songs and see dance.. A lot of people gather here, most of them are young, they come to congratulate veterans with their holiday and say "THANK YOU"...

In Russia there is a song "Victory Day" with the lines "Victory Day is the holiday with tears on your eyes..."
Yes, indeed, hardly no one can hold back their tear when then they hear military stories...

The day end with bright fireworks. People usually shout out loud "Ура!" (Ura!) which means "Hooray!"
