Happy Victory Day!

Dear compatriots! Veterans, seafarers, colleagues, friends! I heartily congratulate you on the Great Victory Day!

9 of May is a holiday that unites all the inhabitants of our great country. We remember the events of the Great Patriotic War, which many of us have not witnessed, but it vividly resonates in our hearts, no matter how much time has passed. The selflessness of the Soviet people in the fight against the fascist invaders, the enormous sacrifices that every person and every family had to suffer – this is an inseparable part of our history, which we remember with tears in our eyes. But at the same time, it is a joyful holiday, a day when peace has triumphed and the war that has brought so much suffering is finally over.

This was made possible thanks to the superhuman efforts of all Soviet people. Someone contributed to the victory by fighting on the front line, someone worked in the rear to ensure that the army and the common people had everything to survive. The workers of the fleet, of course, also did not stay away. They delivered the necessary food and supplies in convoys, risking their lives and exposing themselves to the danger of shelling, joined the Navy and there did everything to protect their compatriots.

Thank you, dear veterans, for your endless courage and indomitable valor, without which the outcome of this terrible war, full of tragedies, could have been completely different! Good health and long life! Happy holiday, dear seafarers, friends, colleagues. May there always be a peaceful sky above our heads!

The Chairman of the SUR Yuriy Sukhorukov
