What are the symbols of the Victory Day - May 9? Victory holiday Soviet army and the Soviet people over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War is widely celebrated throughout Russia. Victory Day, established by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of May 8, 1945, is celebrated on May 9 of each year. Primorye, as well as residents of the whole country, associate Victory Day with a parade, demonstration, fireworks, front-line porridge and other symbols. RIA PrimaMedia has prepared a review of memorabilia, without which it is impossible to imagine this Day.
St. George Ribbon
St. George's ribbon - a bicolor of orange and black - traces its history from the ribbon to the soldier's order of St. George the Victorious, established on November 26, 1769 by Empress Catherine II. This ribbon, with minor changes, was included in the USSR award system as the "Guards Ribbon" - a sign of special distinction for a soldier. She covered the block of the honorary "soldier's" Order of Glory.
This year, the St. George's Ribbon campaign celebrated its 10th anniversary. The action was conceived and carried out in the year of the 60th anniversary of the Victory. Black and orange ribbons became a symbol of memory of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a sign of eternal gratitude to the veterans who liberated the world from fascism.
This year, from May 5 to May 9, in Vladivostok, volunteers distribute ribbons to everyone in shopping malls and other public places. In total, about 70,000 St. George ribbons are planned to be handed out to residents of the seaside capital.
front porridge
Soldier's porridge is a porridge made from cereals, vegetables and meat. Groats: buckwheat, pearl barley or millet. Vegetables: onions, carrots. The meat is usually stew. Porridge is easy to prepare, prepared from available products and turns out to be nutritious, satisfying.
During the war years, it was cooked in the field kitchen KP-130. It is a mobile mobile kitchen designed for 130 people. Cooking can be done both stationary in the field (with and without a chassis) and while on the move (on a chassis).
On May 9, in Vladivostok, the cooks of the Pacific Fleet will cook more than 200 kg of soldier's porridge. About a thousand people will be able to taste porridge. It will be made from buckwheat and stew. To prepare it, you will need 100 kg of buckwheat, 100 kg of stew, 10 kg of butter and 20 kg of onion. Each will cook 120 kg.
People's Commissariat one hundred grams
People's Commissariat (front) one hundred grams - an unofficial term that was in circulation in the 1940s during the period of the Red Army's hostilities, which denoted the rate of issuance of alcohol (vodka) to military personnel.
Back in January 1940, during the Soviet-Finnish War, People's Commissar of Defense K.E. Voroshilov turned to I.V. Stalin with a request to issue soldiers and commanders of the Red Army 100 grams of vodka and 50 grams of fat per day due to severe weather conditions.
During the Great Patriotic War, vodka in the troops began to be issued already in July 1941, although I. V. Stalin signed the official decree of the State Defense Committee (GKO) under the heading "secret" only in August:
Decree of August 22, 1941 No. GKO-562s "On the introduction of vodka for supply in the active Red Army." Establish, starting from September 1, 1941, the issuance of 40 ° vodka in the amount of 100 grams per person per day to the Red Army and the commanding staff of the first line of the army in the field. Chairman of the State Defense Committee I. Stalin.
The cancellation of the issuance of vodka in the army took place in May 1945 after the victory over Germany.
red carnations
Since childhood, May 9 has been associated by many with red carnations. The red carnation is a symbol of spilled blood, which is why there is so much of it on Victory Day, because it is also a day of remembrance for all those who died. Red is the color of the banner of the invincible Red Army. Carnations also symbolize fragments of fireworks.
Throughout the post-war period, it was carnations that were handed over to the heroes of the war on May 9th. Therefore, for them there are no flowers "kinder" than these, because these seemingly ordinary flowers carry a certain meaning, being a kind of reminder of youth, of those moments of joy on the day of the long-awaited Victory.
Eternal flame
The first "Eternal Flame" in the USSR was lit in the village of Pervomaisky, Shchekino District Tula region May 6, 1955 in memory of the fallen in the Great patriotic war. However, it cannot really be called Eternal, since its burning regularly stopped. The first truly Eternal (never stopped burning) fire was in the USSR on the Field of Mars in Leningrad (November 6, 1957).
In Vladivostok, the eternal, constantly burning fire, symbolizing eternal memory located at the memorial Battle Glory Pacific Fleet". On solemn days, the townspeople lay flowers to him.
Parade
Now the usual attributes of the holiday did not appear overnight. For example, in the first 20 post-war years Only one parade was held in honor of the Victory - June 24, 1945. During these 20 years, celebrations were limited, for the most part, to fireworks, but the whole country, along with veterans of the past war, celebrated Victory Day, despite the absence of an official holiday.
There was also no parade in Vladivostok for a long time. However, on May 9, 1945, the townspeople, together with the whole country, came out to celebrate the end of the Great Patriotic War.
Salute
Victory Day is hard to imagine without a solemn salute. Traditionally, the sky over Vladivostok will be painted with multi-colored lights at 22.00. They will salute from several points at once: Revolution Fighters Square, Russian Island, Trudovoye village. And the military will fire several volleys in the area of the Sports Harbor embankment.

May 9 is called Victory Day, named after the victory in the Second World War won by the people of the USSR over Nazi Germany. On the territory of the former union states (in Ukraine, Moldova, Transnistria, Kazakhstan, etc.), this day, as well as in Russia, is non-working.
Story
On May 9, 1945, at the end of the war, which lasted from 1941 to 1945, the act of unconditional and complete surrender of the Wehrmacht was signed. Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, Air Marshal A. Tedder of Great Britain, who represented the Allies, and Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command, Field Marshal V. Keitel from Germany, took part in the signing of this act.
By Stalin's decree, May 9 was declared a public holiday called Victory Day and became a day off. On the first Victory Day, joyful people with tears in their eyes congratulated each other on the victory, hugged and kissed, and on the evening of May 9, the Victory Salute thundered in Moscow (it became the largest for the USSR - out of 1000 guns they fired 30 volleys). After 3 years, the war and Victory Day were ordered to be forgotten: priority was given to restoration National economy affected by the devastating war. The holiday returned only in 1965, with the advent of the era of Brezhnev's rule - from that moment they rumbled again holiday fireworks and there were parades.
Europe celebrated May 9, 45 no less popularly - in almost every European city congratulations were ordinary people and soldier. In London, citizens received congratulations from the king and queen.
Symbols and traditions of the holiday
- Laying flowers and wreaths at memorial monuments and cemeteries. Both adults and children bring flowers to the places of memory of WWII soldiers who died in battles for their homeland. The President and Prime Minister of Russia also lay flowers at the grave unknown soldier in Moscow.
- A moment of silence. Every year, a minute of silence is announced in memory of the dead - this is a tribute to everyone who did not survive those terrible years.
- St. George Ribbon. This is a two-tone ribbon that includes black and orange. Black symbolizes smoke, orange is a symbol of flame. Previously, orders of soldiers were decorated with such ribbons, but today there is a tradition to tie a ribbon on clothes, thereby expressing respect for the heroes of the Second World War, the living and the dead.
- As a symbol of the holiday, you can buy gift medals.
The most important actors Victory Day are veterans. On May 9, they are congratulated, given flowers, expressed gratitude for the fact that they liberated the world from fascism and defended our land. Veterans are invited to parades, celebrations and fireworks.
On the eve of one of the most important holidays for every Russian, HP asked about this.
St. George's ribbon - and gunpowder, and fire,
And the bitterness of tears, and the joy of Victory Day.
Not just a proud symbol, but a silk epaulette,
Per good world that our grandfathers got us.
The author is Natalie Samoniy.
Vladimir Burlakov, Chief Editor"Novorossiysk Worker":
- For me, this is a thin book by my father Mikhail Grigorievich Burlakov “In the days of the war”, published in early 1942. Our troops then retreated on all fronts, and he was confident and convinced his readers that victory would be ours.
Natalya Duyunova, teacher, pensioner:
- For me, this is the image of a veteran - with such beautiful gray hair, with wrinkles, in orders and medals, with sad and very wise eyes, but happy and with a bouquet of lilacs. I worked at the school for many years, and every year I encouraged my students to go to the parade on May 9, take part in honoring veterans, lay flowers with them and be sure to take pictures as a keepsake. Every child should have a picture with a veteran in their photo album. They are a whole era, a living legend, they are our heroes. And children should know about their feat and about the cost of winning happiness on Earth.
Ivan Potapenko, Deputy Chairman of the Novorossiysk City Executive Committee in the 1980s-1990s:
- Of course, this is the Banner of Victory. I saw him in the museum, they took us at the institute. It, of course, is not the same as it is shown on TV, it is shabby, dilapidated ... But this is greatness! My father fought, he was wounded on the Southern Front. He was an artilleryman and for one feat he received two military awards at once: the medals "For Combat Valor" and "For Courage". He was carrying ammunition to the battery, and a German shell hit the cart, and the horse was killed. The father harnessed himself to the cart and dragged the shells to his own.
Sergey Panchenko, candidate of philosophical sciences:
- Since childhood, for the boys of my generation, the Order of Victory - the star - has been such a symbol. As for the St. George Ribbon, I think the people accepted it because it connects Russian, Soviet and modern Russian army. It personifies all the victories of our great-grandfathers, grandfathers and contemporaries, their awards - from the St. George Cross to the Order of Glory. Now the St. George ribbon has become a fashionable thing, but in any case, it has not lost its sacred meaning. Although I do not approve when some people tie a ribbon on a dog's collar, for example.
Nikolai Zagorodniy, Chairman of the City Council of Veterans:
“Our veterans are the real, living symbol of the Great Victory. Now in Novorossiysk, 196 participants of the Great Patriotic War are still alive, of which no more than twenty are still able to travel by transport, share their memories and life experience with young people. These great people are the best generation that has ever lived on Earth. How many hardships they endured with honor, with what dedication step by step they approached the Great Victory! And at the same time they remained clean, unclouded, unembittered. In our veterans are collected best qualities that only exist in the Russian people. And we must not forget for a second what a feat they accomplished. I want to quote lines from a poem by Nikolai Zinoviev: “He is both scarier and more beautiful than all the celebrated years. One such holiday in Russia. And, thank God, that one.
Olga Mazurenko, teacher, class teacher of class 2 "B" of school No. 27 in the village of Myskhako:
- For me, the symbol of Victory is our great story, our memory of the events of the Great Patriotic War and our monuments.
By Victory Day this year, my students and I, together with their parents, created documentary"From Frontier to Frontier".
The idea arose after talking with her compatriot - she is the director of a weekend school for Russian-speaking children in Ireland. It turned out that the children there had very meager knowledge about the Great Patriotic War and the role of the Soviet people in the Great Victory. In our film, the guys talk about what monuments are located in the hero city and its environs, what events they are associated with, a whole historical panorama is given.
Moreover, it is very valuable that this film covers memorial places located in the mountains of the village of Myskhako (for example, a mass grave with a red star, made by local sculptor Alexander Camper), and many other memorial points that are little known, say, to the guests of our city.
By the way, our project is open to all residents, this film, according to our plan, can be replenished. And there are new reporters who have expressed a desire to continue the story started by the children.

Or rather, the truth about her. In short, we are raking up the mess that the liars and demagogues have littered.
The other day, a man who considers himself a communist reproached me: “You replaced the symbols of Victory with your ribbon, and now you want your neighbors to swear allegiance to this fake,” it was said about.
And he cited as evidence an exemplary performance by Nevzorov, which can be considered the quintessence of all the lies about this. Below is the excerpt from the recording and the text, and full version you can read and see:
“The definition of the ribbon that people tie on themselves on May 9 as "Colorado" , according to the color of the coloring of the Colorado potato beetle, I really once gave on the air of Channel Five. Naturally, I have nothing against May 9th. But if you take it so seriously, if it is extremely important for you, then you should be extremely accurate and serious, including in symbolism .Now let's disassemble this nonsense. By the way, Alexander Glebovich can say “thank you” for summing up almost all the main distortions, omissions and outright lies about the St. George ribbon so briefly and sensibly.St. George ribbon, was not known in the Soviet Army . The Order of Glory was established only in 43, not very popular, not even famous at the front , the award must have a certain historical path for it to become popular and famous, and just the opposite, General Shkuro, General Vlasov, many the highest ranks of the SS supported the cult of the St. George ribbon . It was a tape and Vlasov, and the highest ranks of the SS.
Understand, no matter how we treat the Soviet state, but the color of victory, and we must treat this calmly and courageously, the color of victory is red . The red color has been raised banner over the Reichstag , under the red banners people went into the Patriotic War, not under any others. And the one who treats this holiday attentively and with pain, probably, should be accurate in observing this symbolism too.
And I know, of course, that in the Soviet system of awards and signs there was no concept of " St. George Ribbon».
But do we want to plunge into the wilds of faleristics every time like: “the ribbon is a golden-orange silk rep moire ribbon with three longitudinal black stripes applied on it with a 1 mm wide edging”?
Therefore, for simplicity of presentation, let's conditionally call it the "St. George's Ribbon" - after all, everyone understands what we are talking about? So…
Symbol of victory
Question: when did your St. George ribbon become a symbol of Victory?
Medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945"
It looked like this:
and like this:
Soviet naval guards at the Victory Parade
Guards ribbon on a postage stamp of the USSR ( 1973 !!!)
and, for example, like this:
Guards ribbon on the Guards naval flag of the destroyer "Gremyashchiy"
Order of Glory
A. NEVZOROV:And further:
My friend Minaev, don't forget about my former profession. I was once a reporter, after all. That is, I must be absolutely shameless and unprincipled.
S. MINAEV:And finally, to dot all the "i" - one more quote:
Listen, this is amazing because you are completely cynical in answering questions around which usually everyone starts picking their fingertips and saying that it was just such a time.A. NEVZOROV:
Yes, there was no such time. We all sat in one way or another on gold chains from various oligarchs, they boasted about us, they bought us out. We tried to leave, taking with us, if possible, the golden chain.
“That Berendey hut, which was built on the ruins of my homeland, is not a shrine for me”Therefore, listening to arguments about orders, about glory, about war and exploits, about Colorado beetles and “a serious attitude to symbolism” - do not forget (just for the sake of objectivity) WHO EXACTLY talks about all this.
"Vlasov Ribbon"
Like many inspired liars, Nevzorov, looking for figures to confirm his speculations, forgot about common sense.
He himself said that the Order of Glory was established in 1943. And the guards ribbon - and even earlier, in the summer of the 42nd. And the so-called "Russian Liberation Army" was only officially established six months later, and operated mainly in the years 43-44, while officially submitting to the Third Reich.
Tell me, can you imagine that the official military orders and insignia of the Wehrmacht coincide with the awards of the enemy army? For German generals to create military units and officially fix the use of insignia of the Soviet army in them?
It is authentically known that the "Russian Liberation Army" fought under the tricolor, and used a kind of parody of the St. Andrew's flag as symbols.
The land fleet in the steppes of Ukraine turned out to be, as you can see, not a joke at all ... :)
And it looked like this:
And that is all. They received awards from the German Wehrmacht in accordance with the regulations established by it.
Order of the Patriotic War
During the war, this order were awarded 1.276 million people , including about 350 thousand - the order of the 1st degree.
Think about it: also more than a million! It is not surprising that he has become one of the most popular and recognizable symbols of the Victory. It was this order - along with the Order of Glory and the medal "For Victory" that was almost always seen on front-line soldiers returning from the war.
It was with him that they returned (for the first time in a while Soviet power!) orders different degrees: Order of the Patriotic War (I and II degrees) and later - the Order of Glory (I, II and III degrees), which has already been discussed.
Order "Victory"
The title is speaking. And why he became one of the symbols of victory later, after the 45th year, is also understandable. One of the three main characters.
His ribbon combines the colors of 6 other Soviet orders, separated by white gaps half a millimeter wide:
- Orange with black in the middle - Order of Glory (along the edges of the tape; the same colors hated by Nevzorov and some modern "communists")
- Blue - Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky
- Dark red (Bordeaux) - Order of Alexander Nevsky
- Dark blue - Order of Kutuzov
- Green - Order of Suvorov
- Red (central section), 15 mm wide - Order of Lenin ( highest award in the Soviet Union, if anyone does not remember)
Today, when people like to rewrite history, it will not hurt to remember with what respect these orders, which were awarded to the allies, are kept abroad:
- The Eisenhower Award is located at the 34th President's Memorial Library in his hometown Abilene (Kansas);
- Marshal Tito's award is on display at the May 25 Museum in Belgrade (Serbia);
- Field Marshal Montgomery's decoration is on display at the Imperial War Museum in London;
“The Order of Victory, as the highest military order, is awarded to persons of the highest commanders Red Army for the successful conduct of such military operations on the scale of several or one front, as a result of which the situation is radically changing in favor of the Red Army.Symbols of victory
And now let's make simple as three pennies and obvious conclusions.
Tens of millions of soldiers are returning home from the front. There is a certain percentage of senior officers, a little more of junior officers, but mostly privates and sergeants.
The medal "For Victory" in general for everyone. Many have Orders of Glory, and some also have 2-3 degrees. Clear, full cavaliers especially honored, it is their portraits in the press and at meetings, concerts and other public events- there they are, too, with all their orders.
The Navy Guards, too, naturally wear their insignia with pride. Like, not a bast of shields - the guard!
So what, pray tell, is it surprising that three symbols become the main, most popular and recognizable: the Order of Victory, the Order of the Patriotic War and the St. George Ribbon?
Who is not satisfied with the St. George ribbon on today's posters? Well, let's all come here, we'll watch the Soviet ones. Let's see how they "changed history."
"Arrived!"
One of the most famous posters. Drawn shortly after the Victory. And it already contains the symbolism of this Victory. There was a little backstory.
In 1944, Leonid Golovanov on his poster "Let's get to Berlin!" depicted a laughing warrior. The prototype of the smiling hero on the march was a real hero - the sniper Golosov, whose front-line portraits formed the basis of the famous sheet.
And in 1945, the already legendary “Glory to the Red Army!” appeared, in the upper left corner of which the previous work of the artist is quoted:
So, here they are - the true symbols of Victory. On the legendary poster.
On the right side of the chest of the Red Army soldier is the Order of the Patriotic War.
On the left - the Order of Glory ("unpopular", yeah), the medal "For the Victory" (with the same St. George ribbon on the block) and the medal "For the Capture of Berlin".
The whole country knew this poster! He is still recognized today. More popular than him, perhaps, only "Motherland is calling!" Irakli Toidze.
Now someone will say: "It's easy to draw a poster, but it wasn't like that in real life." Okay, here you go"in life"
Ivanov, Viktor Sergeevich. Photo taken in 1945.
Here is another poster. What is the edge of the star?
Okay, this is the end of the 70s, someone will say that it’s not true. Let's take something from the Stalin years:
Well? "Vlasov Ribbon", Yes? Under Stalin? Seriously?!!
How did Nevzorov lie there? "The ribbon was not known in the Soviet Army."
Well, we see how she "was not known." Already under Stalin, it became both a symbol of the Red Army and a symbol of the Victory.
And here is a poster from the Brezhnev era:
What's on the fighter's chest? One only “an unpopular and even little known order”, as far as I can see. And nothing more. By the way, this emphasizes that the fighter is a private. There is no cult of "commanders", it was a feat of the people.
(By the way, most of the posters are clickable).
And here is another one, for the 25th anniversary of the Victory. The year 1970 is written on the poster:
And the glorious date is written "a ribbon not known in the Soviet army", which"is not a symbol of victory."
You look what's going on! What is our current government? And she reached out until 1945, and in the 60s her "Fakes" slipped, and in the 70s!
And here they are again for their own! Again "their" ribbon:
