Respecting the truth of Victory Day 9th May
Respecting the truth of Victory Day 9th May
8/5/15
This year, advanced humankind celebrates the 70th
anniversary of the Victory over Nazism 9th May. Russia will hold a
solemn meeting and parade with the participation of many heads of state in
Moscow. Ceremonial activities are also held all over the world. After 70 years,
the day of 9th May, 1945 is still an unforgettable landmark in human
history about the triumph of human dignity and conscience agaisnt savage and
cruel extremist nationalism forces. However, with various political motives,
incited by opposite forces, in some countries in East Europe, former member
states of Soviet, there are opinions of revision aiming to downgrade the
significance and importance of the Victory Day as well as the contributions of
the Red Army and Soviet people in the defeat of fascism.
At early
2015, in context of contradictions between Russia and the U.S. and Western
countries, there are some calls of boycotting the anniversary celebration of
the Victory Day in Moscow, removing the Red Army soldiers’ graves from
cemeteries in some East European countries and statues of Soviet Union leaders…
These calls base on allegation that the Soviet Red Army had abused the fight
against the fascism to invade East European countries. Another allegation
that’s so puerile suggest that Soviet didn’t play important role in the triumph
over the fascism but the U.S. and its allies did won the war.
Those
allegations have been rejected by famous historians and leaders of many
nations. President V.Putin, 26th January 2015, said any attempt that
trys to rewrite the history and downgrade Russian important contribution
towards the Great Victory in the World War II means recognization of the Nazis
and paves the way for this barbarous fascism. He added the world must protect
the truth related to the World War II and can not forget lessons to prevent
same catastrophe like the Jewish massacre and other peoples.
The truth is
that the war began from insoluble contradictions between imperialist countries
like Germany, Japan, Italy and compromise and concession of the West. Just
nearly one year, the Nazi had conquered almost Europe, even powerful France. In
June 1941, Hitler began to invade Soviet Union with the army of 5.5 millions
troops in attempt of building a German hegemony in the world. With their
superior advantages, the Nazi had entered deeply into Soviet land and caused
many casualties for innocent Soviet people. The Communist Party and State of
Soviet Union had led peoples in a great patriotic struggle against. Soviet
peoples sacrificed a lot to break the Nazist invasion and librated not itself
but all countries in Europe, even France. In April 30th, 1945, the
Soviet Red Army hung flag on the top of the Nazi’s Congress Building in Berlin.
A week after, the Nazi was forced to surrender, ending the World War II in
Europe. The surrendering pact came into effect early May 9th 1945,
and this day is chosen to be the Victory Day - the day marks celebration of the
triumph.
So, to save
itself and the world from the fascist genocide, the people and troops of Soviet
Union sacrificed 27 millions people. Today, if anyone trys to distort the truth
by echoing the role of the second front of the Allies (the U.S., Britain), they
should remember that this second front was opened too late (in May 1944) when
the Red Army had won many battles, defeated and cast nearly 80 per cent of the
German forces. At this time, Germany held no capacity to carry any attack, and
the end of war was so obvious. The second front just help make the victory come
more quickly.
Recently,
Russian Prime Minister D.Medvedev has asserted that distorting the truth of the
World War II and covering war crimes the Nazis will revive the
extremist nationalism and ignore lessons which the humankind has learnt from
the World War II.
The
Victory Day May 9th 1945 is not just the day the humankind was saved
from the fascist disaster but also the opportunity for colonial countries to
gain independence and freedom. Now, though the international socialism
temporarily suffers a setback, the Victory Day still carries a huge
significance for advanced humankind, help abolish the colonialism and
imperialism, bring freedom and independence for many countries and people in
the world. So that, the day will go into history as a truth which can not be
denied that the people and Red Army of Soviet Union have played a key role in
the triumph over the fascism in the World War II in May 9th 1945 - a
victory that opens a new era of the world development history./.

The world will and is not allowed to forget what the Soviet people and the Red Army have done to liberate mankind from the fascist threat.
Yeah, Russia is a great nation which has sacrificed many things for freedom and independence of many countries.
Let's pay respect to Russian people and soldiers who lost in the war.
I totally agree with you Pham Hieu, we can not forget, so we have to fight against hostile forces who are trying to reject the truth.
I think Russia could win the war alone without the U.S. and its allies .
The world must pay gratefulness to the Soviet and Russian people and soldier on this day, so great nation!
The world must protect the truth related to the World War II and can not forget lessons from that war.
The U.S. and Western countries are always trying to reject the historic role of Russia, so ashamed!
Western media have launched many propaganda campaigns to distort the truth, and make people misunderstand about the great heroism of the Soviet Union.
Either Socialism is bad or good, we can not reject that they have defeated one of the most barbarous regime in the world - the Nazi of Hitler, so historic event in humankind
I'm really admirable for the Soviet Red Army and Russia, they made a miraculous victory
without the Soviet Red Army, if the world is peaceful as today or not, we should respect and be grateful for them
