Thank you, Michael for such an interesting topic! Just recently the whole Russia celebrated the victory day and I always has a lot of thoughts about this day. Our people paid for the Victory in the great Patriotic war of such victims, and a fraction of the cost! Therefore, it is important not only for one country, but also for the entire world community. But it is in the historical aspect.
As for the simple human emotions, then the Victory is spring, the sun, the flowers, the happy faces of those who are not from books and films knows what war is. It is the pride. Because of man, for the country, not becoming to his knees. Not in vain this holiday is called light, despite the tears, without which it is not complete, is the pain of those old losses makes itself known. In our family of seven had gone to the front men returned home only one - my grandfather.
Yes, I really agree with you that this holiday is related to the complete "entering" of the spring. We all should remember the price which your grandfathers paid for our peaceful life. We should never forget about their everlasting courage, their victims, and should be ready to protect them from the difficulties of the life in new Russia with new problems.
