“There are many glorious milestones and memorable dates in our country, and, perhaps, only Victory Day changes the soul so much. This day is dear to each of us, because in Russia there is no family that was not affected by the Great Patriotic War. The war claimed many lives; here, on Poklonnaya Hill, the undying pain of these losses is piercingly felt. We remember those who fell in battle, were tortured in captivity, burned in the ovens of concentration camps, who died from hunger, disease and the hardships of military life. Eternal memory to them,” Marina Viktorovna Tretyakova, head of the Federal Tax Service of Russia in Moscow, addressed those present.

In her opinion, those who crushed Nazism set an example of heroism for all times. “This is a generation of winners, and we will always look up to them. Our heroic ancestors proved that there is nothing stronger, more powerful and reliable than our unity. There is nothing in the world stronger than our love for the Motherland. These are not just lofty words, they became the testament of our ancestors for our soldiers, participants in the special military operation (SVO),” said M.V. Tretyakov.

She also addressed the military personnel participating in the SVO. “You left your peaceful professions and went to the front to defend our quiet life.
