May 9. Ok, guess why I am making this article.. Because it is the day the Allies declared victory in Europe. In the English speaking world, it is called: "Victory in Europe or VE Day". In Serbian which I am a big fan, it is called "Pobeda nad fašizmom" or "Victory over fascism".
Mainstream media has the impression Russia is trying to revive the Old Soviet Union but, besides from the historical flags the soldiers used for the parade or the war veterans themselves appearing, is it really to revive the Soviet imperialism? I will say NO! Big NO! I hope one day, mainstream media will find itself to be enlightened that it is to celebrate the triumph not just by the combine Russians, Ukrainians and other nationalities of the former Soviet Union but also by the Western powers that liberated the Western and Central parts of Europe. The Soviet forces suffered a lot along with the civilians during 4 years of war: 30-40 million or more combined including Orthodox Christian priests that went through the battlefield as soldiers to protect Russia despite the atheist Josif Staljin's brutal regime. Setting side personal matters for the protection of your country with God's promise of future freedom for your descendants is priceless that doing nothing.
Hope everyone in the world, victors or enemies back in those days will celebrate the event worldwide as a solidarity of hope and redemption by everyone for working together to defeat the common enemy regardless of the suffering they or we will be feeling through the generations. Let's not forget the souls and the current survivors of the Great patriotic war. Hvala Vojska Rusije!
