Victory Day

            There are several main events which citizens of Uzbekistan celebrate every year. These holiday days are marked on the calendars with the red type and are the rest days. Of course, the New Year's Day is the most important holiday. Formerly multinational Soviet people celebrated this holiday. Now this event is celebrated in all republics of the ex-Soviet Union. Not long ago the New Year's Day in the Asian calendar was remembered in the republics of Middle Asia and Kazakhstan. This holiday falls on the 21 March called "Navruz" that is translated as "spring holiday" in English. But there is one special holiday yet which the people of republics of the ex-Soviet Union celebrate. It is Victory Day of the Soviet people over fascist Germany. The Day of Victory is a day of memory and thanks to the people who fought against fascism. I believe that the Victory Day is one of the important events for not only people of the ex-U.S.S.R. This holiday remains the important day for people of Uzbekistan. We would like to save this tradition as the part of the culture of Uzbek people. .
             The Day of Victory is celebrated on May 9 in the honour of victory of the Soviet people and peoples of other countries over fascist Germany in World War II. In the Soviet Union this war is named the Great Patriotic War, which began on June 22, 1941 and finished on May 9, 1945. The holiday of Victory began from military parades and further continued by civil parades. These parades passed in Moscow, the capitals of Soviet republics, and the hero-towns of the Great Patriotic War. Some Soviet towns were named as "hero-towns", because the Soviet soldiers fought especially persistently and enemy suffered big losses there. In other towns and settlements this holiday began from meetings and civil marches. Now the civil parades remain only, and military parades were forgotten. In this day people go to the graves of the people who perished in the War or to the monuments with flowers.
