“The people are singing in the street,
Noises, conducts conversations.
So here it is - an hour, and a day, and a year
Completed victory! "

8 May 1945 at 22:43 CET (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 High Command, the act was signed by the Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command of the Wehrmacht, Field Marshal V. Keitel, Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces, Admiral of the Fleet von Friedeburg, 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 - Air Chief Marshal A. Tedder. The commander of the strategic air forces United States General K. Spaats and the commander-in-chief of the French army, General J. M. Delatre 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. IN 2at midnight the radio announced that an important message would be broadcast. At 2 h. 10 min. 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 homes ... happily 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, dances to the accordion. In the evening there was a fireworks display: thirty volleys from a thousand guns in honor of the great Victory "(war correspondent Alexander Ustinov).
That day the newspaper"Truth" 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 it happens in the folk epic, during this time the Soviet man has grown fabulously. He grew up so that a Red Army soldier standing at a waving banner in Berlin is visible to the whole world. We didn’t wait for June 22nd. But we longed for the day when the final blow would knock down the black monster that offended life. And we struck this blow ... Incredibly joyful in my soul today. And the night sky over Moscow seems to radiate a reflection of the joy that the Soviet land is full of. We have witnessed events about which volumes can be written. But today we put them all in 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 commanded by MarshalK. K. Rokossovsky... The march on Red Square marched the regiments of the Belorussian, Leningrad, Karelian, Ukrainian fronts, as well as the consolidated regiment Navy... The columns were headed by the commanders of these regiments. Heroes of the Soviet Union carried flags and banners of the units that distinguished themselves in the war. At the end of the parade, 200 soldiers carried fascist banners bent to the ground and threw them on 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 announcing 9May on a non-working holiday; for the first time after the end of the war, a parade of troops and military equipment of the Moscow garrison was held on Red Square in Moscow
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 again began to participate in the parades.

Sometimes people perceive the bright holiday of May 9th as an excuse to drink, poke around and tear the shirt on their chest out of pride for their grandfathers. Life advises to spend this day so as not to be painfully ashamed in front of veterans.
Do not do like this:
Do not tie the St.George ribbon from head to toe. No bows, laces, black and orange ties.
Do not decorate your car with stickers with ridiculous inscriptions: "To Berlin!" There is nothing worse than a Volkswagen with a sticker "Own! Do not shoot! Trophy car!"
Do not watch modern war films: in most cases, this is not art, but commerce. Better revisit the classic films: "Ivan's Childhood", "Twenty Days Without War" or "Ordinary Fascism". They will never become obsolete.
Do not overturn front-line shots in the country. Having drunk like a pig, you can hardly honor the memory of your ancestors. Better stay in town and congratulate the veterans.
Do not warm your hands at the Eternal Flame and do not light up a light from it, like a resident of Armavir, who was arrested for this for 12 days.
Don't twerk near memorials. Remember the famous dance of girls from Novorossiysk near Malaya Zemlya. It cost them 15 days in prison.
Do not take pictures on a duck-face tank.
Do not celebrate Victory Day at a disco that features half-naked girls in military uniform, as in the announcement of the Tatarstan club.
How is it correct:
As a token of remembrance and pride at the start of the weekend, tie on a bag or pin to outerwear one St. George ribbon. And go to 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 slogans were written on the tanks.
Another film that deserves attention is "The Ballad of a Soldier" by Grigory Chukhrai, which will be shown in "Illusion" on May 7 at 15:00. A film about what a wonderful person you could become the 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 the fateful decisions for the country were made? Historical and documentary exhibition "1941. At the headquarters of the Victory" in the New Manege reconstructs the interiors of the offices of the first persons, where strategic battles were fought. Feel like one of the commanders at a meeting at the headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Stalin, where his correspondence with the leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition Roosevelt and Churchill, documents on the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, maps of hostilities 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, the exposition of which covers all stages of hostilities 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, letters from the front and photographs that once belonged to Soviet soldiers.
On Poklonnaya Hill festive events will begin with a traditional festival, which will include creative teams The armed forces Russian Federation.If you meet veterans here, congratulate and thank them, and ask 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 Honor Escort of the Presidential Regiment and sing along to the performers of military songs at a festive concert until late in the evening.
On May 9, go straight to Tverskaya, in the 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 away" works here: a year ago, the most desperate citizens climbed onto lampposts, to get a better look at tanks and armored vehicles... If you are not ready to become an urban climber, perch on a truck - from there all the parade tanks will be visible at a glance.
After the parade, buy carnations, there are enough flower shops on Pushkinskaya, and, meeting veterans on your way, give them flowers with words of gratitude.
Lunch on this day is allowed only in the military field kitchen, which is deployed on the Old Arbat. The menu includes soldier's porridge and navy-style pasta. Hurry up to have lunch by 13:00 - the beginning of the "Immortal Regiment" action. Don't forget to get your banner out in advance. If there are no war participants in your family, you can still join the march to honor the memory of the fallen soldiers.
And from 18:00 until the fireworks in Novopushkinsky square, remember the feat of ordinary soldiers accompanied by songs of the war years at the Victory Songs concert in the company of the End Film and VIA Tatiana groups.
It is necessary to end such a solemn day beautifully and traditionally - in Moscow there are 15 venues where you can watch fireworks.
I consider the Immortal Regiment the best action 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 procession, this is a record for all the years of the action's existence.
The action Immortal Regiment was invented in 2012 by the journalists of the Tomsk Media Group. The very first procession was attended by only 6 thousand people, but since then the event has become a nationwide event. Over the past few years, the TV-2 channel, which organized the first action, was closed for excessive opposition, and the Immortal Regiment itself (now under the supervision of the state) turned into one of the main events of Victory Day.
Last year, in addition to Russia, the action took place in 44 other countries of the world. A year later, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan refused to hold the action, referring to the "difficult political situation" and the traditions of Islam, but it did not cease to be massive (and the action was nevertheless carried out in Tashkent, despite the ban of the authorities). And in 2016, the Immortal Regiment search center began work, which helps the relatives of the missing to restore the fate of their loved ones.
01. In Moscow, people lined up on Tverskaya a few 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 many police officers, 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.
