(1st Update)

Yanayev stood on the podium, his gaze casually swept over the audience, he was facing these people from all over the world for the first time as the leader of the Soviet Union. Yanayev inhaled slowly, his chest heaving slightly, calming his uneasiness and beginning his speech.

"Dear friends! We are here today to warmly welcome all our visiting foreign guests and to express our sincere gratitude to the representatives of those countries that are fighting against Nazism and Japanese militarism! ”

There was warm applause at the scene, and Yanayev bowed his head slightly to the representatives of each country, expressing respect and respect. And the representatives of those countries also applauded Yanayev.

"Today, representatives of six countries, together with us, appeared on Red Square in Moscow. The delegates came from China, Vietnam, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Mongolia, Cuba. Their ancestors, both on the front and in the rear, fought side by side with the enemy. ”

"Soldiers from China, the main front in the fight against militarism in Asia, China, like the Soviet Union, lost millions of lives in this war. The soldiers of Czechoslovakia also fought fearlessly against the Nazis on the European battlefield. The people of the Korean Peninsula also put up resolute and uncompromising resistance to the Japanese fascists. Throughout the war, Mongolia gave our country its full support. That's all, like all the delegates here, I would like to give the warmest applause. ”

Yanayev applauded on the podium, and Yanayev from the audience burst into applause.

"Now in the joint review phalanx, there are already the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the soldiers who participated in the war at that time. Victory Day is our common holiday, because the Great Patriotic War was a battle for the future of all mankind. Our fathers and grandparents have endured unbearable pain, poverty and loss. They worked with all their hearts and fought bravely at the cost of their lives. A noble example of patriotism was set. ”

"We salute those who defend every street, every house, every border of the Motherland to the death! Pay tribute to those who died in the brutal battles of Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk and Dnieper! Hats off to the indomitable Leningrad who died of hunger and cold! Salute to those who suffered from captivity and enslavement and torture in concentration camps! ”

"We carry the vivid memories of these sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, comrades-in-arms, relatives and friends. We remember all those who never came back from the battlefield. We remember all those who can no longer be with us. ”

Yanayev finished. He also looked at the World War II veterans who came back alive from the battlefield in the audience, and said affectionately, "Dear veterans! You are the heroes of the Great Victory Day. It is your deeds that have created a peaceful and stable life for future generations, so that future generations can create and move forward bravely. Your deeds may be unknown to anyone, but your vision lives on! ”

"Today, your children and grandchildren will be honorably honored to serve the Motherland for the present and future of the Motherland. Confidently respond to the challenges of modern times and contribute to the smooth development and prosperity of our motherland! Glory to the victorious people! Belong to the Great Soviets! ”

As soon as the words fell, five Su-27 fighters were high above the Kremlin's bell tower, and the colorful wake clouds were reflected in the clear blue sky above the Kremlin, which was particularly dazzling.

The next link was to award the medal of victory in the War of Resistance to the veterans of the Second World War, which is the supreme honor that Yanayev gave to the veterans of the Second World War on this special day. He stepped down from the podium and personally came to the seats of the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, and pinned the medal of victory in the Anti-Japanese War to the chest of their military uniforms for those who lost their loved ones and loved ones in the war. After each award of medals to veterans, Yanayev bowed deeply to them. Say thank you.

"Thank you for everything you gave in the Great Patriotic War."

Yanayev brought medals to veterans who had lost both hands during the war and helped him put them in order. For the first time, he was received by the leaders. The veteran was so excited that he kept repeating thank you.

"Thank you for your bravery and fearlessness back then, so that today's stability and peace can be achieved."

The veteran in front of Yanayev lost his eyes because of the war, but he still held his head high and waited for the call of the Motherland. Just as Yanayev finished saying this, he whispered, "General Secretary Yanayev, do you know that those soldiers who died on the battlefield with me back then, they have been waiting for this day for a long time. There were only six of us left in a building, and my comrades asked me if they would be heroes when they died. I didn't answer him at the time. Later, Nazi tanks bombarded the entire building, and I was the only one who survived and was rescued, and their bones were buried under the unknown rubble. ”

"But now I want to tell him that you are all unsung heroes."

Yanayev held his hand tightly and said in a calm voice, "The motherland has not forgotten you, thank you, we will take over the banner in your hands, inherit your will, and move on." ”

After the medal was issued, Yanayev met the fiery gaze of the veterans, and just turned around and prepared to return to his seat, but before he had taken a few steps, the voices of World War II veterans suddenly came from behind him. This was not scheduled at the ceremony, but was entirely out of the personal will of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War.

"The 62nd Army, the 4th Infantry Division, Private Vasily, the soldiers of the whole company who died on behalf of Stalingrad, salute the motherland!"

"The 15th Guards Division, Private Ivanov, on behalf of the comrades who died in Stalingrad, salute like the great Motherland!"

"The sixty-first Panzer Division, Private Slitchenkov, on behalf of the fighters who died in Stalingrad, salute like the great Motherland!"

……

The voices of all were sonorous and moving, and Red Square became silent at this moment, except for the sound of hunting and flying as the wind blew through the red flag.

These names, which may have been canceled in the integration of the army, are indelible memories in the hearts of this group of people, and they symbolize the struggle and faith of the past. When everyone had reported their identities, in the end everyone took up their positions, looked at the fluttering red flag, and said in a unified, firm and neat voice, "All the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War here, salute the great Motherland, the great Soviets!"
