Kiev-2005
Almost 60 years ago our Motherland
was burning and shaked from the blows of tanks, powerful weapons, etc. 4 years
these actions occurred on the Ukrainian territory, million of people suffered
and died. But not looking on these, people reconciled with everything, went
through the trials and reached the victory, reached the independence and
freedom from the fascism. And it was the most important achievement that they
could to get.
The May 9 is well-known day for all
Ukrainians. Even little children know this day – the day of the victory under
the German fascism.
We all have grandparents who took
part in the Second World War, which was the Great Patriotic war for us of
1941-1945 years. Of course, some of them are not alive but we love, remember
and respect them very much. They endured terrible sufferings and, listening
them, we convinced more and more in that fact that these courageous, strong
people are the real great heroes.
Our grandparents always like to talk
about these actions. They have a lot of memories and different stories. It’s
very interesting to listen to them and to image the pictures of that hard life.
I’d like to tell about my
grand-grandmother Ann. She is the real hero for our family. She died some years
ago? Her age was great. She was very strong woman, she’s never cried and always
helped o other families. When her family perished and her dear husband too, she
perceived it without emotions, but I’m sure that granny was very, very upset,
and simply did not showed it. She was religious woman. Everybody, especially my
father, always heard her opinion. Our family always remember her as the strong
and very clever woman. And we try to be like she was.
My granny Luda, her daughter, often
tells me about her life and her exploits. They together went through the
blockade of the Stalingrad. There was a famine. Hundred of people died on their
eyes. Granny Ann got used to this and didn’t pay a great attention. On the
front granny worked as a driver. She transported milk to the solders on the
front-line and the bombs and the hail of lead were flying under her head. My
granny Luda was a little girl at that time and was near the mother whole the
time.
Everyone of us can tell many stories
like this one. And every time, listening them, we feel the proud of our heroes.
I must say that not only men fought for the freedom, but also women showed
themselves as the courageous persons with strong will and character. There are
a lot of soviet films about the war which evoke such feelings. We are proud of
these people and are full of respect. No one of us did not go through that
trials.
Our country does not forget about
them and every year we can watch the parade in the center of the Kiev to the
honour of the perished solders. It is a great pleasure for veterans that they
are remembered and beloved. This kind of the praise is the best for them. The
fighters for independence will be remembered forever and for always. They are
the heroes of Ukraine.
