The memory of the Holy War is sacred. It has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 70 years. Yesterday's children have grown up and are raising their own children today. Life goes on.
It continues also because in every family, both young parents and grandparents tell their children about the most important day in the history of our Motherland - the holiday of May 9.
Memory has no expiration date
As long as we remember and honor our great-grandfathers, who won Victory in that terrible war, we will be able to pass on to our children the highest mental values - patriotism and love for our Motherland. By doing this, we create a solid foundation for the formation and development of the personality of each child - parts of the new generations coming behind us.
The memory of the war is also a reminder of our heroic mentality. It was during the war that it manifested itself most clearly - in the mass heroism of the Soviet people, in the unsurpassed dedication and contribution of every citizen of our country to the cause of victory. In difficult times for our people, the Russians really demonstrated the principle of life when the survival of society is more important than personal survival.
That is why we, adults, make a huge contribution to preserving peace on Earth when we tell the younger generation about the Great Patriotic War. We give them an understanding of our mental values and do not allow these values to fall into oblivion. Common memory consolidates society, which means it makes it stronger and able to withstand any difficulties.
We are doing this for the sake of our children, for the sake of the peaceful future of the country, for the sake of world peace. Children will learn about that terrible war from our stories, books, films, songs, and cartoons. Every year in Russia and other countries of the world, children participate in various literary theatrical compositions and art competitions of drawings, songs, and dances dedicated to the Great Patriotic War.
Children watch with us broadcasts of the parade in honor of the Great Victory on May 9 and carry portraits of their great-great-grandfathers in the columns of the Immortal Regiment. Many preschoolers and schoolchildren know and sing “Katyusha”, “Victory Day”, “Three Tankers”, “Smuglyanka”, “Oh, roads!”, “We need one victory”, “First of all - airplanes” and other well-known songs about war.
“A holiday with tears in our eyes” is like an endless wave that unites all generations into a single whole. Modern children sing new songs about the Great Patriotic War. Gratitude to the great-grandfathers for saving the Motherland:
“Great-grandfather, he risked his life,
So that the birds sing in the sky again
And the sky became blue, and the laughter did not fade away,
And so that I can be born into this world.”
(from the song “Great Grandfather”)
The words sound like alarm bells in the mouths of children:
“Happy May, beloved land, meet your soldiers soon!
From wounds and insults the earth trembles with the warmth of the soul, let us warm it!..
...I remember the light of distant years.
I will believe in my country!”
(from the song “About That Spring”)
We carefully entrust the memory of the greatest heritage of our great-grandfathers into the fragile hands of our children, into the open souls of new generations.
“There will be an eternal flame that burns at the Kremlin wall,
keep our memory like a strong thread that connected us with the years of war...
...So that Russia does not forget its heroes, so that there is no more war.”
(from the song “So that there is no more war”)
The heartfelt voices of children help all of us living in the 21st century to feel like we are part of a great people who saved the world from fascism, and to be responsible for the peaceful future of Russia. And these are not just words, because only a people with a mentality in whose values justice and mercy occupy a leading place are capable of saving the world from destruction.

Essay “Memory of the War” by a 7th grade student at secondary school No. 7
Arbit Anna.
The war has passed
The suffering is over
But pain calls to people.
Come on people never
Let's not forget about this.
A. Tvardovsky
May 9... Victory Day is a holiday that has become a national holiday, because there is no family in our country that has not been touched with its black wing by the most terrible of wars - the Great Patriotic War! On this day, to the sounds of a brass band, those to whom we owe our lives and the peaceful sky above our heads will come out onto the square in front of the monument. And then poems and songs will be sung in their honor. But, in my opinion, there are no words with which one can convey one’s gratitude to the old gray-haired warriors, for whom the war has become a new point of reference, against which they are accustomed to verify the meaning and price of their actions.
War means grief and tears. She knocked on every home and brought misfortune: mothers lost their sons, wives lost their husbands, children were left without fathers. Thousands of people went through the war, experienced terrible torment, but they survived and won. We won the most difficult of all wars. And the people who defended their Motherland in the hardest battles are still alive. The war emerges in their memory as the most terrible and sad memory. But it also reminds them of perseverance, courage, friendship and loyalty.
We are lucky, we live in a relatively peaceful time, and for this - a deep bow to all those who fought for the liberation of our country from the fascist invaders: in the rear and at the front, people did not spare their strength and lives, “everyone simply had a choice: I or Motherland." And people chose their homeland, so that their children and grandchildren would have a future, so that the Russian land would not disappear. It is thanks to such true patriotism that we exist.
Many works, newspaper articles, and films have been produced about the terrible national misfortune. But the most vivid and truthful in my memory for the rest of my life will be the stories of eyewitnesses.
Many of the heroes, on whose shoulders the most difficult trials fell, belonged to the generation of those young people who went to the front, barely graduating from school. Young men and women, who only yesterday were making plans for their beginning lives, instead stepped towards danger and death, facing the inhuman and cruel forces of fascism.
A man of amazing destiny lives in our city. His name is Shulgin Vladimir Mikhailovich. In 1941, he voluntarily went to the front. Its part defended the famous Road of Life, which ran along the ice of Lake Ladoga. Food and weapons were transported along it to besieged Leningrad by car. It was very difficult for the fighters. It was impossible to leave the trench either day or night. They slept and ate at the post. Enemy air attacks provided no respite. One night a boy found himself in a trench, barely alive. The soldiers picked him up and fed him. Vladimir Mikhailovich accompanied him home, covering him with himself during the bombing. As a souvenir, he gave him his belt and all the soldiers' food rations, which were given only to soldiers. But they were fed no better than the blockade survivors, and they always went hungry.
One day, when the Nazis were especially fierce, the fire was heavy, and a shell hit the trench, in the place where Vladimir Mikhailovich was located. Everyone fell asleep, screams and moans were heard. Vladimir Mikhailovich came to his senses when a young, short nurse dragged him across the field where they were shooting. She dragged me and persuaded me to be patient.
Vladimir Mikhailovich was wounded by many shrapnel. A military surgeon fought for a soldier’s life for a long time. Vladimir Mikhailovich survived, but his legs... they can barely move. Every step comes with pain. After the hospital he was demobilized. The medals “For Courage”, “For Military Merit”, “For the Defense of Leningrad” still shine on a soldier’s dress jacket. After the war, Vladimir Mikhailovich worked as a history teacher at school in Kazakhstan. After the death of his wife, he, already old and sick, was taken in by his own sister, and now he lives here, in the city of Kirzhach. Vladimir Mikhailovich is an amazingly kind and modest person. He doesn't like to talk a lot about himself and doesn't like to be the center of attention. He claims: “I didn’t do anything special, I just fought and defended my Motherland just like everyone else.” And awards speak of the soldier’s courage and valor.
The famous Admiral Ushakov once said this about such defenders of the Motherland: “The native land can do everything: feed you with its bread, give you drink from its springs, surprise you with its beauty. But she can’t defend herself. Therefore, protecting their native land is the responsibility of those who eat its bread, drink its water, and admire its beauty. People are given honorary and respectful titles. The highest rank of all is Defender of the Motherland..."
People of the military generation are special people. From the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, they brought faith in the future and a willingness to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others into the difficult life of the country. The height of human achievement is determined by the power of love in life. The stronger this love, the more incomprehensible the dimension of the feat performed by a person for the love of life. We will never forget those who died in the war, we will always remember those who sacrificed themselves to save and defend their Motherland.
Soon May 9th. This means that fireworks will sound over Red Square for the 65th time. For 65 years now, the Russian people have been celebrating a great holiday - Victory Day! It’s just a pity that there are fewer and fewer participants in the battles, veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Unfortunately, real heroes will soon pass away, who do not even consider themselves heroes, and, like Vasily Terkin, talk about their exploits somehow casually, by the way, they say, “everything has happened.” And it’s scary to imagine what lies beneath this “stuff”! The death of comrades, the loss of loved ones as a result of bombing and captivity, the first shot at a person... And I want to say a huge thank you and bow to the ground to the people who gave us a chance to simply live. And I will take the liberty to say that many of us, young people, have not lost our love for the Motherland and are grateful to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. And I also want each of us to at least occasionally think about whether he is using this chance to the fullest, so that someday, looking back, look at the life he has lived and with a clear conscience tell you, the people who defended our Motherland, that everything you have done did not go to waste and will never be forgotten, because “there is a memory that will never end”!
And let the war alarm be silent,
Flowers bloom in my native land,
But the soldier will live forever,
That he died a brave death in battle.
He saved you and me
And to all of humanity,
Peace and happiness of peaceful days.
You stand up and bow to him.
And in this peaceful time of the century
I'm ready to ring that alarm:
“People, it’s vile to forget a person,
whose name is a Russian soldier!
No one should forget all the horrors Great Patriotic War. The price that hundreds of people gave in this fight. To forget means to betray the present and the past. Our task now is to remember and honor the memory of those people thanks to whom we can be here.
Of course, the war claimed millions of lives, but there are those who returned. Those who still live in this country for which 70 years ago struggled desperately. These are the ones who provided us with life and future.
Why can't we forget the war? Memory is the only thing, besides words, with which we can say thank you. Remembering the misfortunes that the war brought, we prove that the sacrifices made were not in vain.
When children, fathers, husbands went to fight in 1941, they were prepared for the fact that someone was not destined to return, but they looked to the future. To our world. We were not there and we cannot imagine what the relatives of these fighters went through. What it was like for a mother who saw off her son to war, knowing that she would see him for the last time. Or a wife, a young mother whose child was left without a father. They grew up and lived out their lives in a liberated country. They lived for themselves and for those who did not return from the battlefield. And now we live for them.
Almost every family has its own hero. There are those families whose heroes managed to return. Who went through all the horrors of war and passed on their story to others. The feat of each of them should remain an imprint on our souls.
I’m ashamed of those guys who waste the life given to them in vain. By taking life for granted, we eventually remove the feeling of gratitude from ourselves. Seventy years ago people, without hesitation, gave their lives for the sake of the future for new generations. They did not think about the memory and honor that they ultimately deserved. The most important thing was to liberate the country and people. End the domination of one nation. And they succeeded.
This is why it is important to remember those days when part of the population was erased from the Earth forever.
About those families who have lost their loved ones forever.
About those children who, just being born, lived in endless fear.
And, of course, about those who have survived to this day.
Don't forget about the past and look to the present.
And, as proof of our memory, every year, in every family, there comes a moment of silence and gratitude.
It is known that a person lives in the past, present and future. A person’s comprehension of these three components has a significant impact on the formation of consciousness and worldview. The war became for the peoples of the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War of the peoples of the USSR for their freedom and independence. Precisely – the Great Patriotic War.
At the final stage, we wrote an essay with the guys.
Essay (from French essai “attempt, trial, sketch”, from Latin exagium “weighing”) is a literary genre, a prose work of small volume and
free composition.
Here are our works:
"Do we need a memory of the war?" Of course it is necessary! Today it is difficult for us to imagine what hunger, cold, bombing, death are...
Thanks to those who died defending their Motherland 70 years ago, today we can study, work and be happy!
Stories about that war will not allow you to make mistakes that could lead to a new world war.
Thank you, veterans, for the victory! Lisa Sh.
Someone today may say: “No, it’s not necessary! It’s scary!” And I will say “Yes! It is necessary to remember and honor those people who gave their lives for their family, their Motherland, so that we can all live in peace now!
We must also remember because people went to fight not for glory and orders, but for freedom, peace on earth! Eternal glory to them! Lisa P.
I was lucky to be born in peacetime. The horror of war is not easy for us to imagine! We watch films, read about the war, talk about the events of the Second World War...
My great-grandfather, like many then, went to the front to defend his homeland and family. He died in Ukraine, in the village of Syrovatka.
We must remember the war and be proud of our great-grandfathers! Sasha B.
We weren't at the war. But we must know about it and remember this event in our history. Our troops fought for their homeland, they were not afraid to look death in the eye. The Nazis crippled millions of destinies. But our people did not break! We won! The memory of the war is in our hearts. Masha Sh.
Shots, fierce battles, hunger, disease, death of ordinary people... War is a terrible time!
Today, thanks to our heroes, we do not know the sounds and taste of war. Only thanks to them, we understand the value of a peaceful sky above our heads.
Nowadays, there are very few veterans left; we must say thank you to all those who did not spare their lives for ours.
I think we need to preserve the memory of the war.
Thanks to all the participants of the Great Patriotic War for the peaceful sky above our heads, for our happy childhood! Sofia P.
I, Alyosha Sveshnikov, a 3rd grade student, believe that the memory of the war is necessary! So that we remember and thank all those who did not spare their lives for our future. Now we have everything - food, beautiful clothes, technology, peace. And what then, 70 years ago, during the war years? They probably dreamed about it. Did they want to die? I think no! Was it scary? Probably yes!
But our people did not give up, they persevered and endured all the hardships.
Our country won thanks to the fortitude, courage and courage of our people. We are proud of it! We need a memory of the war! Alyosha
