In this article, we are going to consider three exceptional monuments in memory of the heroes of the Motherland.
The majestic Victory Memorial on Poklonnaya Gora (Moscow) is an obelisk flying towards the sky. He ascended Pobediteley Square in the Victory Park of the memorial complex in the Russian capital. The Victory Monument is one of the most important monuments of Russia. It reminds humankind of the great victory over fascism and the key role of the Soviet Union in the destruction of this global evil. The authors of the monument were L. V. Vavakin, V. M. Budaev and sculptor Z. K. Tsereteli. The Victory Memorial is an obelisk with a height of 141.8 meters (1 decimetre per day of war, which lasted exactly 1418 days). According to the authors of the monument, each decimeter of the obelisk symbolizes one day of that terrible war. They are a reminder of the tragic and heroic days when our multinational people not only survived. He defended his liberty and independence by beating the enemy in a fierce and brutal battle.
The monument to the militia of the Proletarian district was opened on May 6, 1980 on Avtozavodskaya Street, not far from the lobby of the metro station of the same name, in honor of the 35th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The inscription on the monument says: "The exploit of the proletarians who fell for the freedom and independence of the Homeland will forever remain in the memory of the people.Eternal Glory to the heroes! Sculptors: F. D. Fiveysky, N. G. Skrynnikova, architects: P. P. Zinoviev, I. M. Studenikin, engineer B. M. Dubovoy.
The monument to the militia is an architectural and sculptural composition, a majestic, peculiar and memorable monument. The complex sculptural form in the form of a symbolic banner up to 15 m high bears high-relief groups of soldiers and militia going to the front. Made of forged sheet copper, on a steel frame, with a polished granite stepped base, it stood at the head of the boulevard, in the alignment of tall residential buildings.
In the very first days of the Great Patriotic War, the workers of the Proletarian district of the capital, as well as hundreds of thousands of Muscovites, stood up to defend the Motherland from fascist invaders, joining the ranks of the Soviet Army and the People's Militia. In the autumn of 1941, thousands of proletarians, including 1,855 communists and Komsomol members, went to the people's militia to defend the capital. More than 11 thousand workers of the Proletarian district participated in the construction of defensive structures around the capital.

Victory Day is a great holiday
Victory Day is the most important holiday for everyone, because the Victory
of 1945 prevented the establishment of fascist rule on our land. At the lessons of
English students learnt a lot about the history of Victory Day in a broad
geopolitical context.
On the eve of the holiday, students of grades 3 "A", 3 "B" and 7 "B" had the
opportunity to listen to Winston Churchill's speech. British Prime Minister
announces Victory over fascists in Europe.
The children learnt that the citizens of Western Europe celebrate the Victory
not on May, 9, but on May, 8 as on that very day the Act of Surrender of Nazi
Germany was signed. It is interesting that the British call the holiday "VE Day" –
Victory in Europe Day, because the victory over fascist Japan was won later.
The students watched videos and photos of the May days of 1945 with great
interest. In the 77-year-old documentary films and chronicles, residents of London
and York, Chicago and Boston are joyfully welcoming the news of the long-
awaited Victory, they are dancing, having fun and celebrating VE DAY in the
streets and squares, houses and courtyards.
At the lesson, students also examined printed sources about Victory Day.
The front pages and headlines of English–language newspapers from May 8-9,
1945 reported: "Germany surrendered", "War ends!", "The war is over!",
"Nightmare has passed, we can breathe again".
It was very important for modern children to learn the fact that the Victory
of 1945 was the most important event not only for the people in the USSR, but also
for its English–speaking allies in the anti-Hitler coalition - the United States and
Great Britain.

Cambridge Fest is a place of power!
As part of the large-scale school holiday "Heirs of the Great Victory", which took
place on May 5, the educational platform «Cambridge Fest» was one of the busiest
places.
At the open class, children had the opportunity to play with a ball, guessing words,
and act out various scenes. First-graders took part in educational games, repeated
letters, numbers, colours, as well as words on the topics "Animals" and "FOOD".
The children talked, sang, played, painted, guessed, and most importantly,
developed and enjoyed themselves.
Schoolchildren's parents were watching the course of the lesson with great
interest. They noted progress in learning English, and also willingly participated in
dialogues themselves.

The Role of Music during the War
The role of music during the war years was extremely high. It evolved about everything that happened at the front and in the rear, which warmed the souls and glorified the great feat of the Russian people. They talked about patriotism, about soldier friendship, about love. Music supported people in difficult times, comforted their exhausted souls. It was necessary for a person like air, with it the human heart did not get stale and found new strength in itself to keep hope. Each song of this time has its own story, its own path, and its own destiny. I'll tell you about one of the most powerful works. About the Leningrad symphony.
Shostakovich was repeatedly offered to evacuate, but despite these proposals, the composer remained in the besieged Leningrad. In the summer of 1941, the first part of the work was completely finished. Then the composer began work on the middle parts, which were completed by the composer before the evacuation.
People went to rehearsals hungry, and dying right in front of them. some died at concerts. But people continued to work hard because they knew how important it was. They knew how the fascists would be suppressed and how our people would triumph!
The symphony was first performed on August 9, 1942 in the Great Hall of the Philharmonic. By that day, in the besieged city, the commander of the Leningrad Front was ordered to suppress enemy artillery with a fire strike so that the cannonade would not interfere with listening to music. The date of execution was not chosen by chance, because this particular day was the "final" according to the German plan - the capture of Leningrad was implied. Thus, the Germans became involuntary listeners of this work. On the day of the premiere, it became clear to everyone who would win the battle for the city and who would win this terrible war.
The Leningrad symphony was written in a besieged city as a response to the German invasion. She demonstrated the resistance of Russian culture to the invaders, the reflection of aggression at a high, spiritual level, at the level of music. The Seventh Symphony immediately after its first performance created a huge resonance in the world. This composition, along with the song Holy War, became the banner of the faith of the Russian people in their victory.
