VICTORY DAY

The Great Patriotic War began on June 22, 1941 at 4am, when fascist troops who headed Adolf Hitler invaded the USSR without being warned. USSR not expect this attack because at the beginning of the Second World War in 1939 the USSR and Germany entered the pice. It was a vile and vile act on the part of Germany. But thanks to voluntary-forced appeals to the Army and faith in the country of the USSR were able to win.
May 8, 1945 war years. The whole nation rejoiced. But whether victory is victory with the loss of one million people? I don't think so.
All known began to celebrate victory day in world only in 1969.
Now this day, many honor in our country and those who do not honor the despise.
Personally my ancestors died during the war, but they went. I believe that to lose both legs and go blind a lot worse than to die.
Hitler thought so too on this after losing committed suicide.
I love and honor and victory day celebrate it every year!

The Second World War
The Second World War (September 1 1939-September 2 1945) - the war of two world military-political coalitions, which became the largest armed conflict in the history of mankind.It involved 62 of the 73 states that existed at that time.The fighting took place on the territory of Europe, Asia and Africa and in the waters of all oceans. This is the only conflict in which nuclear weapons were used.On October 25, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy conclude a cooperation agreement; November 1 announced the creation of the "Rome-Berlin Axis." November 25 (the same year), Germany and Japan conclude a pact directed against the USSR.August 6, 1945 The United States is dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima August 9, 1945.The United States is dropping the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.In 2 desember 1945 Japan capitulated.I believe that this is a holiday should be because it is a victory for which borolis on the sheep's great-grandfathers and this holiday is our blagodarodnost.

                                                              9 may VICTORY DAY

A terrible war with large-scale human losses begin in 1939. 06/22/1941: the war between the USSR and Germany began. On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union. In the battles and during the occupation, each of the five
 Ukrainians perished.   Ukraine recalls the victims of the Second World War, the country will limit entertainment activities, on the buildings the state flags have lowered the government.  The consequences of this war we observe daily, huge cemeteries of soldiers. All this is the price for our quiet life. Although I'm not a patriot, but I'm proud of my country.

                                                   Victory day

 One of the most remarkable public events in Russia is the Victory Day. It is traditionally celebrated on the 9th of May. The holiday marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in the Second World War in 1945. It became the end of the Great Patriotic War for the USSR, which lost about 25 million citizens in the four years of fighting and starvation.
     Almost every family in Russia has a person who didn’t return from the battlefield. A great number of people were seriously injured and became disabled. On this day we are grateful to our saviors, to those who sacrificed their lives for us. That’s why we try to celebrate this day with honors.
      I think this event is more sad than happy. Many people in our country can't understand it. They use this event to get drunk. Many people also say "we can repeat" they can't comprehend the price of this Victory. And it's really sad.

Dear Ann,
   Thank you for your last letter, I was glad to hear from you. Sorry, I haven`t written you for a long time, but I was busy at my school lately.
   Now, I am ready to answer your questions. The most popular indoor sport with teenagers in my country is MMA. It is some kind of wrestling. I think, teenagers often do extreme sports because they are young and they want to try everything in this life. As for me, I like figure skating most of all.
   Sorry, but I have to go and help my sister with her homework. I`m looking forward for your reply.
   Best wishes,
   Kseni

Dear Ann,
   Thanks for your last letter, and sorry I couldn’t answer you earlier.
Don’t worry about your brother, I’m sure he knows what he is doing. In my country many young people and adults choose different indoor sports to be strong, such as: pool, climbing, parkour so on.I think that the reason why teenagers usually choose dangerous sport is that they have to obtain adrenaline and they have too much energy to spend .Sport in some sense can be dangerous, but if you are a professional, then the sport will likely give you only good.
   Actually, I also like extreme sports: I do mountain ski every season also i like free riding.
 Write back soon.
  Yours friend,
 Misha
