in general, there is a lot to do under the vtrars and dive into the water, but the most important thing is that at the finish line there is such a cool feeling that today is not a day for everyone to live in vain, of course today they received a medal, let’s listen to the emotions of one of the participants right now, we wish the veterans longevity, of course, it’s a pity that every year there are fewer and fewer of them, we are already starting to walk around with photographs of many of them ,

immortal of this regiment, citizens of a peaceful sky above the earth, play sports, explaining. all the best, well, now we are at the sports palace, so i’ll ask our operator, firstly, to show the panoramic row, starting right from our sports facility, so slowly, so that everyone can see how many people are here, everyone is walking, spending time, you see that it’s very worthy, there are a lot of people here, it’s nice to watch, and in both directions, but you... you can see this very well, but let’s also look at the brightest shots again so that all viewers can see what kind of celebrations there are today here in the city center, near the sports palace near this stage. according to tradition, the city authorities have organized everything so that you can have a comfortable time, period public catering is, of course, areas of entertainment activity, especially for people, of course, a great concert program, around which this has also been seen so far, around the stage there are people with

pleasure right now listening to songs of the war years, we managed to talk with elena today speredovich, our brilliant presenter, let's listen to her. turnover, there are more and more people, if the audience is watching us live right now in belarus alone, be sure to come, you can really have a good time here spend time, communicate with open-minded belarusians like us and once again say

a few beautiful words to those who achieved this victory, so peaceful skies to you, dear belarus, colleagues, the floor is yours, thank you colleagues for the atmosphere, see you in the next issues, katyusha came ashore, onto a high bank on a steep one. large-scale events are taking place today in pavlov park, where those interested can take part in competitions and receive a branded souvenir from the armed forces of belarus and city organizations operating field kitchen, with the participation of the ministry of defense this year, 10 sites have been organized in the capital alone, that’s when we remember, when we treat with such soul, when we pay tribute to our respected veterans and know at what cost we got the victory, i think

that we will all overcome all obstacles, all obstacles. it’s great that we together understand the importance of this holiday and celebrate this holiday together, preserve the heritage that our descendants, our ancestors passed on to us, preserve peace on the belarusian land, today. as the department noted, much attention is paid to targeted congratulations to veterans at home, and the celebration in the parks of the capital will last until the evening. despite the war's deprivations and horrific conditions, our ancestors during the war knew how to preserve human warmth through letters. several dozen such records have been preserved. to the present day. what stories, feelings and experiences are hidden behind these messages? report by sergei ladysev. today we can only

imagine with what trepidation our grandparents waited for letters from the front, how they they rejoiced when they learned that their loved one was alive and well, and how they felt when the funeral arrived. letters were written while sitting in the trenches and after battles. in them, the soldiers confessed their love and made plans for the future. he comes to the museum every year. new letters, new artifacts, objects, so it’s difficult to say the exact number, literally every month more than 2.5 thousand are received, a front-line letter is a very complex phenomenon for some unambiguous short description, it’s always a personal story, it’s a page personal life, wrote in difficult conditions, if front-line soldiers wrote this, they often wrote it in short moments of rest or while already in an evacuation hospital, while in the rear during a regrouping at the moment, well, moments of ignorance of combat operations. they wrote on ordinary pieces of paper, most often with a pencil, since there was no ink or pens in the trenches, there was no need to glue a postage stamp, and the address was written on the outside of the sheet. our days

of triangular letters may seem quite unusual, but during the second world war there simply weren't enough envelopes and so licks fell diagonally, it turned out to be such a triangle in which the soldiers wrote their experiences and feelings, all, absolutely all letters were censored, it controlled all correspondence of military personnel, forbade writing about the military... for example, about an upcoming offensive or a change of location. the list of information related to classified information was enormous, from data on the number of military personnel to combat alerts in military units. after this check, they were sent in various ways by trains and trucks. and here many letters could get lost because there is a war going on, bombing. back in 1952, the wife of lev mikhailovich davator, commander of the second guards cavalry corps west. front of the legendary defender of moscow, our fellow countryman. elena lavrentieva donated several documents and letters from her husband to the museum. in them, the man spoke about the war as about work, and

during the most intense battles he did not forget about his wife and children. in their stories of exploits, fighters were often accompanied by poems, newspaper clippings and drawings. veteran of the great patriotic war - son of the regiment, shashkov mikhail semyonovich fit all his memories of that terrible time into three books. all feelings and experiences in prose and poetry. mikhail shashkov met the beginning of the great patriotic war as a fifteen-year-old teenager, and ended up as a front-line soldier and medal bearer. during the war , he wrote to his beloved girl, confessed his love to her , and assured her that victory would come soon. firstly, each of us had a girl who was waiting and hoping. and she wrote letters back to her too. and we write these letters to each other. were life to their homeland - the most important features in these letters, but they have not survived. love for soldiers' letters, our duty is to preserve

the memory of these strong-spirited people, so through letters, notes from personal diaries, or directly through conversations with war heroes, we learn to understand and respect their experience, feelings of perseverance. sergey ladosev, sergey matveychuk, roman filiutich, telenews agency. three cheerful friends. the crew, the cars, that's it. today, on victory day, in the evening broadcast on belarus-1 and belarus 24, the premiere of a three-part documentary investigation into reserves and the fatherland. this a joint project of the television news agency of the state security committee and the belarusian orthodox church. the trilogy is based on archival documents about how the clergy rebelled against the plans of the third reich. the priests not only supported the people with prayer, but also took the path

of resistance themselves. to the enemy. after the war, a number of priests were awarded state awards. a trilogy about shepherds, patriots, watch today. we will continue our information channel dedicated to the day of the great victory at 18:00, at 7 pm bel tv and radio company will begin live broadcasting of the wreath-laying ceremony at victory square. will finish today. festive evening, concert on october square and colorful fireworks on victory day.

before the war, by the time i was in school in 1941, i had already completed eight grades, moved on to ninth grade, successfully, and was glad that i had only 2 years left to study at

school in order to... go or get some kind of profession, in general continue to study. before this case, my father was transferred from kaunaas to shouliai; the ninth was formed in shouliai. anti-tank artillery brigade of the reserve of the main command. on the twentieth, i think, he called us in kaunas, so get ready and come here and look at the apartment. you're going to move, well , you were ready, you arrived there, you spent the night in a hotel, your father came, he told me, you take a jug, go get some beer, well, i went out,

walked maybe 20-30 meters there, i saw planes spinning over the city, but i already knew that these were maneuvers going on there. this district, and then i look, it means he threw a bomb, i see that these are no longer maneuvers, this is something it smells like kerosene, as they say, we all our class... gathered in 2 days, and this time, remember what time, there were no telephones, my god, it was necessary to offend, find everyone, no, we collected for 2 days everyone went, we are building a military registration and enlistment office, i

applied four times, they didn’t take me because i am the daughter of an enemy of the people, then i went to the general party, my girlfriend worked there, she helped me, get a summons from the military registration and enlistment office, when the war started, people said , that, apparently, the nazis at least attacked, but the war will not last long because in the german army they are also working peasants and soldiers, so they are unlikely to fight on hitler’s side, so they thought.

we studied morse code for a month and a half, when we mastered it, when we passed the exams, i was assigned to the 63rd separate communications battalion, we went to the front for 41 days, why? because we passed through siberia in 4 days, when they began to move towards the front. the germans were raging in the air and they were constantly bombing railway stations, bringing

medicine for the wounded, instruments, beds to the front, we were going to the front line. there is a house leaking, a quiet, sholokov bridge, right in front this bridge was where we were met by a landing force

when this offensive took place, but it was so amazing when levitan said that the soviet army had retreated to pre-prepared lines, here these boys walked to school with wet tears, it was so disappointing.

the germans came to us, but we had not yet seen them , because our village is away from the main roads leading to smolensk, people immediately came running, a german came out, a translator in broken russian, milk, schnapps, egg, chicken, so that they brought it here to them, so i look, he’s such a german, tall, red-haired, i remember him appearance, dragging our girl by the hand, she rests on the girl, the mother grabbed hold of her and asks with tears, let her daughter go, this is my nurse,

such a burning hatred appeared in me,

why this burning hatred of the germans, i carried through the entire war. in 1941 in the month of december. our village was liberated from the fascist army, but the fighting stopped right on the borders of the kaluga region, battles took place there and they began to send us teenagers, especially schoolchildren, and minors from the kaluga region. to siberia, i ended up in tyumen, there we became

to train mechanics in the repair of carriages, they worked at the plant at that time. it was very hard there, too. i was 17 years old then, you know , that’s where they said these shells for processing , then on... but the whole thing, from morning to evening, about 12 hours, we probably worked, well, even seven days a week,

i i came to the military commissar, i said, why don’t they hire me, i have... my father, by the way, is at the front and so on, well, it’s too early for you, he says, well, this is the third time when i came to him, okay , says, by voluntary conscription you’ll go, well, that means my deadline hasn’t arrived yet, they gave me a direction to the urals, a dry ravine, that means odesskaya moved there.

everything, quiet, silence, here, i ’m telling this gun commander, they’re exhausted, of course, it’s great, i’m saying, but this very dugout, i’m saying, we still have to do it, here, well, let ’s do it, he says, back and forth , here they brought breakfast, so we are having breakfast, at this time a german tank comes out, turns a little out of... this and how he hit breakfast, everything flew by, although no one was hit, surprisingly, well, then they literally did this instantly dugout, you always think,

right here... i’m tormented, what about at home, and how is my mommy, and how is my daddy, i remembered my childhood, then i remembered something else, i really loved to dance, i studied at a dance school, ballroom dancing, i even danced the mazorka , so that no one would dance later, so i think, lord, now i wish i could dance, a mazurka and nothing else, i had such thoughts, we felt the turning point in the battle of stalingrad, when the germans also

felt these losses and they were very worried, that is, nah it wasn’t like that cheerfulness. spirit at first, when they were marching, and then finally the battle of kursk, they were so broken that the strategic initiative was seized by the red units.
