“People are singing on the street,
He makes noise and carries on conversations.
So here it is - the hour, and the day, and the year
Achieved victory!
S. Ya. Marshak
8 May 1945 at 22:43 Central European Time (9May at 00:43 Moscow time) in the Berlin suburb of Karlshorst, the Act of Military Surrender of the German Armed Forces was signed. On behalf of the German Supreme High Command, the act was signed by the Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command of the Wehrmacht, Field Marshal W. Keitel, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral of the Fleet von Friedeburg, and Colonel General of Aviation G. Yu.Stumpf. The Soviet Union was represented by the Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Marshal of the Soviet Union G. K. Zhukov , Allies - British Air Chief Marshal A. Tedder. Present as witnesses were the commander of strategic air force USA General K. Spaats and Commander-in-Chief of the French Army General J. M. Delattre de Tassigny.
8 May 1945 even before the signing of the act of surrender I.V. Stalinsigned a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the proclamation of 9 May Victory Day.
"On the night of 9 May 1945 Muscovites did not sleep. AT 2At 1 am the radio announced that an important message would be broadcast. At 2:10 a.m. Dr. Yuri Levitan read the Act of Military Surrender of Nazi Germany and the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the announcement of 9May Day of national celebration - Victory Day. People ran out of their houses... joyfully congratulating each other on the long-awaited victory. Banners appeared. There were more and more people, and everyone moved to Red Square. A spontaneous demonstration began. Joyful faces, songs, dancing to the accordion. In the evening there was a fireworks display: thirty salvos from a thousand guns in honor of the great Victory” (war correspondent Alexander Ustinov).
That day the newspaper"Is it true" wrote: “The ninth of May! Soviet people will never forget this day. How will he not forget June 22, 1941 A century passed between these dates. And as happens in folk epics, during this time the Soviet people grew fabulously. He grew up so that a Red Army soldier standing by a waving banner in Berlin is visible to the whole world. We did not wait for the twenty-second of June. But we longed for the day to come when the final blow would knock down the black monster that had insulted life. And we dealt this blow... My soul is incredibly joyful today. And the night sky over Moscow seems to radiate a reflection of the joy that the Soviet land is full of. We witnessed events about which volumes could be written. But today we fit them all into one word: victory!..”
June 24, 1945 The first Victory Parade took place on Red Square in Moscow. The parade was hosted by Marshal G.K. Zhukov, the parade was commanded by MarshalK. K. Rokossovsky. Regiments of the Belorussian, Leningrad, Karelian, Ukrainian fronts, as well as a consolidated regiment, marched along Red Square Navy. The columns were headed by the commanders of these regiments. Heroes of the Soviet Union carried flags and banners of units that distinguished themselves in the war. At the end of the parade, 200 soldiers carried fascist banners bowed to the ground and threw them onto a special platform at the foot of the Lenin Mausoleum.
From 1948 to 1964 9 May was a normal working day. In the year of the 20th anniversary of the Victory, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree declaring 9May is a non-working holiday; On Red Square in Moscow, for the first time since the end of the war, a parade of troops and military equipment of the Moscow garrison was held
Until 1995, parades on Red Square on Victory Day were held only in anniversary years - in 1965, 1985 and 1990. Then they began to be held annually; Since 2008, military equipment began to participate in parades again.

Sometimes people perceive the bright holiday of May 9 as a reason to drink, laugh and tear their shirts on their chests out of pride for their grandfathers. Life advises to spend this day in such a way that you do not feel painfully ashamed in front of the veterans.
Do not do it this way:
Don't tie yourself with a St. George's ribbon from head to toe. No bows, laces, or black and orange ties.
Don’t decorate your car with stickers with ridiculous inscriptions: “To Berlin!”, “I’m going to ram,” “You can’t see a dirty tank in battle.” There is nothing worse than a Volkswagen with the sticker “Friends! Don’t shoot! Captured car!”
Don't watch modern war films: in most cases this is not art, but commerce. Better watch the classic films: “Ivan’s Childhood”, “Twenty Days Without War” or “Ordinary Fascism”. They will never become outdated.
Don't knock back front shots at the dacha. By drinking like a pig, you are unlikely to honor the memory of your ancestors. Better stay in the city and congratulate the veterans.
Do not warm your hands by the Eternal Flame and do not light a cigarette from it, like a resident of Armavir, who was arrested for 12 days because of this.
Don't twerk near memorials. Remember the famous dance of girls from Novorossiysk near Malaya Zemlya. This cost them 15 days in prison.
Don't take pictures on a tank with a duck face.
Do not celebrate Victory Day at a discotheque whose poster depicts half-naked girls in military uniform, as in the announcement of the Tatarstan club.
How to correctly:
As a sign of remembrance and as a symbol of pride at the start of the weekend, tie it to your bag or attach it to outerwear one St. George's ribbon. And go study military equipment at the Kubinka Tank Museum. Here are collected the best examples of armored vehicles of various sizes, shapes, colors and countries, for example, Soviet, German, Japanese and American. You will learn about the exploits of tankers, what the T-34 is famous for and what its shortcomings are, what kind of slogans were written on the tanks.
Another film that deserves attention is “The Ballad of a Soldier” by Grigory Chukhrai, which will be shown at 15:00 in “Illusion” on May 7. A film about how wonderful person could become main character and how the war cut short his plans.
Much has been told and shown about the hostilities, but what is known about how and where fateful decisions for the country were made? The historical and documentary exhibition "1941. At the Victory Headquarters" in the New Manege reconstructs the interiors of the offices of top officials, where their strategic battles took place. Feel like one of the commanders at a meeting at the headquarters of Supreme Commander Stalin, where his correspondence with the leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition Roosevelt and Churchill, documents on the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, maps of military operations with the leader’s notes are kept.
Spend the second day of the weekend at one of the main venues of this weekend - Victory Park. Start with the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War, whose exhibition covers all stages of the fighting and will help you understand their chronology thanks to a computer database that provides comprehensive information about each battle and feat. The museum contains weapons, awards, uniforms, front-line letters and photographs that once belonged to Soviet soldiers.
On Poklonnaya Hill holiday events will begin with a traditional festival where they will perform creative teams Armed Forces Russian Federation.If you meet any veterans here, give them a happy holiday and thank them, and ask them a few questions about their service during the war. They will be pleased that people are interested in their fate.
And from 17:00 watch the performance of the Cavalry Honorary Escort of the Presidential Regiment until late evening sing along with the performers of war songs at the holiday concert.
On May 9, go straight to Tverskaya, to the very heart of the parade. First, get off at the Pushkinskaya metro station, where a huge crowd will be waiting for you. Your goal is to get through it and get as close as possible to the road along which military equipment will move to Red Square. The rule “I sit high, I look far” works here: a year ago the most desperate citizens climbed lampposts, to get a better look at tanks and armored vehicles. If you are not ready to become an urban climber, perch yourself on a truck - from there all the parade tanks will be clearly visible.
After the parade, buy carnations; there are plenty of flower shops on Pushkinskaya, and when you meet veterans along the way, give them flowers with words of gratitude.
Dining on this day is allowed only in the military field kitchen, which is located on Old Arbat. The menu includes soldier's porridge and naval pasta. Have time to have lunch by 13:00 - the beginning of the “Immortal Regiment” campaign. Don't forget to arrange the banner in advance. If there are no war veterans in your family, you can still join the procession to honor the memory of fallen soldiers.
And from 18:00 until the fireworks in Novopushkinsky Square, remember the feat of ordinary soldiers to the songs of the war years at the “Songs of Victory” concert in the company of the groups “The End of the Film” and VIA “Tatyana”.
Such a solemn day needs to be completed beautifully and traditionally - there are 15 sites in Moscow where you can watch the fireworks.
I consider the Immortal Regiment to be the best event in memory of the war. This is exactly what can unite people of any generation, political views or religious preferences. And, what is especially important, anyone can take part in this action; there is no elitism of traditional parades. Today in Moscow 750 thousand people took part in the march, this is a record for all the years of the action’s existence.
The Immortal Regiment campaign was invented in 2012 by journalists of the Tomsk Media Group. Only 6 thousand people took part in the very first procession, but since then the event has become nationwide. Over these few years, the TV-2 channel, which organized the first action, was closed for excessive opposition, and the Immortal Regiment itself (now taking place under the supervision of the state) turned into one of the main events of Victory Day.
Last year, in addition to Russia, the event took place in 44 other countries around the world. A year later, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan refused to hold the action, citing the “difficult political situation” and the traditions of Islam, but this did not stop it from being massive (and the action was still held in Tashkent, despite the authorities’ ban). And back in 2016, the search center of the Immortal Regiment began operating, which helps relatives of the missing restore the fate of their loved ones.
01. In Moscow, people lined up on Tverskaya several hours before the start of the action. To avoid a crush, the police divided the crowd into groups and did not allow everyone to pass at once. 
02. Red Square was tightly cordoned off. There were a lot of police, riot police and volunteers. Snipers are visible on the roof of the Historical Museum and on the right side of the Kremlin wall. Security was at the highest level due to the fact that Putin again took part in the action.
