Victory Day May 9th, Forever in Our Memory

Xristos Voskress

To all our veterans, my deepest thank you. Without you, we would not be here, or if we were, we would be slaves to a Nazi Reich that promised out people nothing but terror and suffering.

To the eight million men and women who gave their lives, to the twenty million who risked theirs and survived, our eternal thanks, not just as a single person but as a people. Regardless of what the West wants to portray our heroic forefathers as, there are many people quite happy to thank us. From Jews in Israel, to Greeks, from Poles to Slovaks and Czechs. The Red Army bled to first stop the Nazis and then free our enteral Orthodox Motherland, and then to throw out the plague from the rest of land. Eight out of ten Nazi soldiers fell under the arms of the Red Army. Of the German allies, all of the Fins, the Romanians, Bulgars, Hungarians, Slovaks who died, died under our arms. Fascist Italy lost half her army against us. What would have been of the Western Allied invasions of Italy if those divisions had been in Italy in 1943, instead of rotting on the fields of Stalingrad? Even the lone Spanish division to fight in that war, the Blue Division, was destroyed in Russia.

Equally, we were a direct contributor to the defeat of the Japanese, something that will, no doubt come as a shock to the American readers of this. We defeated the Samurai in 1939, destroying a Japanese army on the edges of Mongolia and then defeated another in 1945, in Manchuria. Over all, almost a million Japanese died or were taken prisoner at our hands, well almost a fourth of their army. It is fair to say, more Japanese soldiers died or surrendered at the hands of our forefathers then from all the landings the Americans conducted on all the little islands.

As for Russia, no land paid a higher cost in human life and yet no land is more maligned by the present revisionists and neo-Nazis sheltering in the skirts of the EU and US. From the Baltics to Hungary, Neo-Nazi parties are on the rise. Equally, in our own midst, the Nazis of Other Russia's main participant: The National Bolshevik Workers' Party and the Ukrainian Una-Unso are both on the direct payroll of America's Congress. Hay Yanks, why not save your money and protect your own borders?

As for remembrance, the nation is in full swing. Delegations from Ukraine, Belarus, Israel and Poland are coming in, as well as other former Soviet Republics and Mongolia, who also bravely fought with us against the Nazis. Everywhere, where those veterans still alive, walk, the young thank them, the adults thank them. Without them, there would not be a Russia today. Placards are everywhere, specials on television, more so this year then others, as it is the 65th anniversary, but any year is an important year to remember. The children are taken to war museums to learn patriotism and the sacrifices made by this truly great generation.

On the 9th, in great parades, will march the grandsons of these heroes, to commemorate their great accomplishment and the life and freedom we owe them and to swear before Holy God, that should our call come, we will do no less our selves, be we 18 or 38 or 58.

And so dear readers, I ask you, in your countries, do they even remember these veterans?
