🇺🇲Today is a great day for Russia. May 9th, Victory Day over fascism. I congratulate all my compatriots on this great holiday and wish them all the best, health, happiness and a peaceful sky above their heads. Happy Victory Day, comrades!!!
When your hometown is small and young and its story isn't as exciting as that of the other cities - it takes a great pride in every event or famous people it was related with, no matter how big or small.
Main things regarding the Great Patriotic War my town is proud of:
1) Home front activities: as one of the mainly textile-oriented centres of Soviet Union, during the GPW it took on its shoulders the responsibility for producing military clothes and medical textile goods such as bandages, cotton wool and gauze; gave a shelter to the refuges and wounded soldiers;
2) Relation to the famous Normandie-Niemen regiment: in fact, my hometown was the first place of dislocation and training of Normandy's pilots and this is where they started their dangerous yet glorious journey. For now, there is a monument and a street named after them in my town. When i studied at school, it was a necessary topic during the country history or region history lessons.
3) People, such as artist Boris Ivanovich Prorokov (you can visit house museum with his works) and poet Mihail Alexandrovich Dudin (at least once in the year there are literature events in his honor at the schools, universities, libraries, etc.)
You can’t have a Victory Day parade in Moscow these days. It might just remind Russians that Putin is far from victory on Day 422 of his three-day “special operation” in Ukraine.
Not only does Russia look bad for its poor overall military performance in Ukraine, but it also just bombed one of its own cities, Belgorod, which was never part of Ukraine.

Because of tight media censorship, tens of millions of Russians don’t understand what an international embarrassment Putin and his armed forces really are.
Russia is becoming the military equivalent of the Zune, the Edsel, and New Coke.
