today the whole country celebrates one of the most important holidays, which for us is sacred victory day. there is so much in these words: bitterness, tears of loss, joy, meetings of achievements and deep gratitude to our dear veterans for their greatest feat.

on may 9, 1945, we won, we broke the back of world evil, we forced the enemies to capitulate, it was the soviet people who played a key, decisive role in the fight against fascism, against the ideology of extermination of the slavs, against the attempt to make us slaves, and today we honor our heroes, bow our heads in front of the memory of the victors, in front of tens of millions of people who, with their feat... at the cost of their lives, defended peace and tranquility in their native land. the television news agency bel tv and radio company continues its big festive information day, there are many congratulations ahead, emotions of the brightest inclusions from different platforms in belarus. in the studio sergey lgovsky, hello, let's celebrate may 9th together.

today our president shared the joy of the great victory with the heads of state of the post-soviet space; a parade was held in moscow red square. this is a tradition established by the heroes back in the victorious forty-fifth year. and even the snow that kept falling from the sky could not extinguish the fiery hearts of the participants in this grandiose action. the heads of state arrived in the kremlin in the morning, vladimir putin. i warmly greeted each of my colleagues personally, we still look good, then the leaders of the countries joined the spectators of the victory parade and took their places on the central stand. in his speech, vladimir putin emphasized: the west is trying to distort the truth about the second world war, because it interferes with colonial policy, but the truth is also historical memory. this is part of the general policy

of western elites to incite more and more regional conflicts, interethnic and interreligious hostility, and to restrain sovereign, independent centers of world development. we reject the claim of exclusivity by any state or alliance. we know what the exorbitance of such ambitions leads to. russia will do everything to prevent a global conflict, but at the same time we will not allow anyone to threaten us. our strategic forces are always in combat readiness. in the west, they would like to forget the lessons of world war ii, but we remember that the fate of humanity was decided in grandiose battles.

near moscow and leningrad, rzhev, stalingrad, kursk and kharkov, near minsk, smolensk and kiev, a minute of silence is declared for victory, hurray, hurray! on june 24, 1945, the first victory parade took place, when defeated german banners and standards were thrown at the walls of the mausaleum. and today, in front of the veterans and guests, again the foot crews of all russian troops, from the cadets suvorov and nakhimov schools to border guards. marines, tankers and cossacks. all the strength and might of the modern army is on red square. there are 75 pieces of equipment in front of the audience,

more than 9 participants. the parade of military equipment was traditionally opened by the legendary t-34 tank, the main combat vehicle. great patriotic war. armored personnel carriers, tigers, triumph and iskander anti-aircraft systems, and the yars nuclear deterrent complex passed on the paving stones. victory day is one of the main holidays for belarusians and russians. another important constant tradition - laying wreaths and flowers. to the tomb of the unknown soldier, together with the heads of other states in the alexander garden, our president. journalists did not miss the opportunity to ask questions to the two leaders, in particular regarding the second stage of response measures. as stated, the general staffs of the armed

forces of belarus and russia provide for a check of the forces of the joint regional grouping of troops. the first stage we carried out was, one might say, beneficial. we have already started execution, so there is nothing unusual here, this is a planned work. in honor of the heads of state invited to the celebration.

who crushed fascism and saved the future of humanity, the head of state noted. in every corner, in every family of belarus, generated by hatred of the ideas of world domination, the war left unhealed wounds from the monstrous crimes of hitler’s executioners and their minions. the unity of our ancestors, their love for their homeland and sincere faith in victory forever became moral guidelines for the grateful generations of the peaceful and independent belarusian state. years later, the truth about the great victory protects our land from the threats of modern times, all of humanity, from the revival of the destructive ideas of nazism. the belarusian people sacredly honor the memory of those who died and will never consign to oblivion the names of innocent martyrs and the glory of courageous

defenders of the victors,” alexander lukashenko emphasized. and today it is important for us to preserve historical memory. this is part of our state policy towards memorials. the honor of the heroes of the great patriotic war does not cut off the flow of people. monuments to our defenders are surrounded by flowers, and this is no coincidence. it is here that the most emotional and main words. a great, greatest holiday with a hint of grief and sadness. i wouldn't want this to happen again. but you must remember, this is our victory, we simply must not give it to anyone, we have not forgotten, we will also remind the heirs of the punitive forces how in the distant forty-first

the belarusian land turned into one big death camp, we see how the revanchists are trying to pull them out of the underworld. bankrupt nazi ideology. in these conditions, the truth about the crimes of fascism serves as a serious warning to humanity, preservation of historical memory takes on special significance. the main thing we must do is to preserve this truth and prevent the revival of the terrible past. don't even try to talk to us from a position of strength. belarus still stands as an indestructible brez fortress, in the path of any enemy. and may the memory of those who left us inspire us to create, for the sake of

the future of our peoples, for the sake of peace. we don't need war. we intend to use all reserves to restore stability and calm in the region. we are our native land, we will not give up independence and sovereignty to anyone. belarus remembers, as long as we come here, together with our children, belarus will always remember. festive victory marches can be heard in all regions of the country. thousands of people gathered in brest, a parade of equipment, a march of military personnel accompanied by a live orchestra,

military vehicles in a symbolic number of 79 units drove along the central street of the city from the very morning, for the first time a soviet heavy tank, the prototype of which took part in the parade of allied troops in berlin in september 1945 . traditionally, belarusians marched in a solemn procession to the brest fortress. this is always the main holiday location in the city. the memory of the defenders of the legendary citadel was honored with a minute of silence, these are truly words, with tears in my eyes, i already burst into tears, this is joy, this is happiness.

gratitude to the heroes of the great patriotic war has become part of our genetic code; it is our duty not only to honor the fallen, to take care of veterans and children of the war, but... also to preserve the sacred memory of the heroic deeds of the people, passing it on to future generations. senator dmitry
