1.     Read the text (the first group, приложение 3).

One of the biggest Russian holidays, Victory Day, marks Germany’s surrender to the Soviet Union in 1945, ending one of the bloodiest wars in Russia’s history.

Many Russians celebrate Victory Day on May 9. On this day, TV networks broadcast World War II-inspired films, younger generations honor veterans, and the festivities culminate in a military parade at Moscow’s Red Square.

Many people attend a local military parade and watch the fireworks at night on Victory Day. The biggest parade is in Moscow’s Red Square. Most veterans wear their medals as they head to the parade or an event organized by a local veteran organization.

Another tradition is to give flowers, usually red carnations, to veterans in the street and to lay wreaths at the war memorial sites. Neighborhood schools may host a program prepared by the students, featuring wartime songs and poetry.

At home, families gather around a festive table to honor surviving witnesses of World War II and remember those who passed away. They may also watch a favorite Soviet film based on the events of World War II, which is also known as the Great Patriotic War. These films are repeated each year but the audience seems to never grow tired of them.

Background

Victory Day marks Germany’s surrender to the Soviet Union in 1945. It became the end of the Great Patriotic War for the USSR, which lost about 25 million citizens in the four years of fighting. Interestingly, until its 20th anniversary (May 9, 1965), Victory Day was not a major holiday, unlike, for instance, May 1, and was considered a work day. Apart from the anniversaries in 1965 and 1985, Victory Day celebrations in theSoviet Union did not feature a military parade. This tradition started in 1995.

Symbols

Common symbols of Victory Day in Russia are:

St. George ribbon – people wear this black-and-yellow ribbon on their clothes or tie it to car antennas as a sign of respect and remembrance.

Red carnations – blood red is the color of the Soviet flag under which the veterans had fought. Laying an even number of red carnations at war memorial sites signifies mourning and remembrance.

Red Star medal is a military distinction for bravery.

The St George ribbon, red carnations and the Red Star medal are seen on Victory Day.

1.Read the text (the second group, приложение 5).

The Ribbon of St. George (Russian: Георгиевская лента) constitutes one of the most recognized and respected symbols of military valor in modern Russia. It is widely associated with the commemoration of World War II and especially with the units who were awarded the collective Guard battle honors during the conflict. The ribbon consists of a bicolor black and orange pattern, with three black and two orange stripes. Its origins may be traced back to the Russian Empire.

The pattern of the Georgian ribbon is thought to symbolize fire and gunpowder.

While the Order of St. George was normally not a collective award, the ribbon was sometimes granted to regiments and units that performed brilliantly during wartime and constituted an integral part of some collective battle honours (such as banners and pennants). When not awarded the full Order, some distinguished officers were granted ceremonial swords, adorned with the Georgian ribbon. In 1806, distinctive Georgian banners were introduced as a further battle honour awarded to meritorious Guards and Leib Guard regiments. The pike (древко) on which these flags were mounted was topped by the St. George Cross and adorned with 4,44 cm wide Georgian ribbons. It remained the highest collective military award in the Russian military until the Revolution in 1917.

The Cross of St. George, or simply the George’s Cross (солдатский Георгиевский крест) was, until 1913, officially known as the Sign of Distinction of the Military Order of St. George. In 1856 it was split into four degrees. A person initially received the fourth degree, and would subsequently be promoted to higher degrees for further acts of bravery; one who received all four degrees was called (polniy Georgievskiy kavaler)) full Cavalier of St. George.

The Cross of St. George was abolished after the Russian Revolution, but was re-established on August 8, 2000 by the President of the Russian Federation. Moreover, during the Soviet times there was an equivalent decoration known as the Order of Glory.
