1945-20001945-2000
On June 24,1945, four years after Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, the banners of the defeated Nazi army were cast down by the participants in the Victory Parade on Red Square in Moscow. More than 26,000,000 Soviet people perished in this war. The world lost 50,000,000 people in this terrible carnage, which was started and abetted by the imperialist powers, desperately trying to defeat the USSR. It is necessary that young generations should know these facts!
On May 9th there took place celebrations all over the main cities of the former Soviet Union by veterans of the Great Patriotic War, proudly marching, wearing their well-earned medals. Although they are now 55 years older, their heroism and dedication to socialism is in their hearts, even though their hard-earned victories were sold by the traitors who instilled capitalism and the devastation that the Soviet people find themselves in now. These veterans knew who was the enemy during the Second World War... they also know who is their enemy now. These veterans, together with the young generation, workers communist and workers parties are heading towards unity to resurrect the Soviet Union.
