Victory Day in Russia

Military Parade in Moscow, May 9, 2014
Victory Day in Russia has been observed on 9 May since 1945. This day is memorable especially for those who was born in the USSR. The day commemorates the great victory of the Soviet Russia over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. Millions Soviet soldiers perished during those severe years of war (1941-1945).

Russian people feel grateful to their ancestors who did their best to defend the independent future of their country.

Traditionally military parades are held in most towns of the country. At the celebration, which unites the whole country, you can see smiling people with St. George ribbons pinned to their jackets. These ribbons serve symbols of the Great Victory. You can notice numerous cars with stickers “Thank you for the victory”. After a wreath-laying ceremony people enjoy watching concerts in the afternoon and fireworks at night. 
The translation: Thank you for the victory!
Every family of the former Soviet Union has its own hero of WWII.  9 May is the day ‘scented with gunpowder’, ‘with grey haired temples’ and the day of happiness ‘with tears in the eyes.’
 
Eternal Flame in Honour of the Soviet Defenders
                           “No one is forgotten, nothing can ever be forgotten”

I wish I could read a personal profile Love is beautiful - smiling, laughter, a loving thrill of the heart, excitement. However, the fairy tale  requires hard work . What if at a meeting with a new person who could potentially become the love of your life there were opportunities to view his/her personal file, like a profile of a character in a computer game? Could this help later avoid unnecessary acquaintances and any related hassle? For example, the file would introduce not only the positive aspects of a person (loving, tender, great hugger), but also the essence of his daily habits which
