Ever-lasting memory of our people's contribution to the Great Victory Remember! In centuries, in years – remember! About those who has never come Remember!

On the 9th of May, we celebrate Russia’s greatest holiday – the Victory Day. Our country paid a great price for the Victory in the Great Patriotic War where we lost over 20 million people. We should remember names of the all heroes who died for a peaceful sky overhead. We should speak about their heroic deeds because it is said that as long as memory is alive, so is the feat of soldiers.

Residents of the Kostroma city remember the feat of ancestors. The most visited place on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War is a Victory Park. Victory Park in Kostroma is a tribute to the memory of soldiers who fought in the Great Patriotic War and the victory that were paid for so dearly by Soviet people. Although Kostroma was not attacked during the war, it still had to deal with a lot of difficulties between 1941-1945.Thousands of Kostroma people died during those dark years. Victory Park has become a kind of gift from the modern generation to the veterans of that dreadful war. It was opened at the time of the 65th anniversary of the Great Victory. It has a wonderful collection of military equipment: tanks, cannons, airplanes and other weapons. There is also a battlefield path equipped with trenches, anti-tank hedgehogs and a monument to air defense missile crewmen and combat engineers. Concerts, festivals and firework displays are held in Victory Park on different holidays. However, the most important date is the 9th of May, Victory Day, on which the park becomes crowded. The traditional patriotic festival known as “the Voice of Victory” attracts thousands of visitors every year.
