Many Russians celebrate Victory Day on May 9. On this day, TV networks broadcast World War II-inspired films, younger generations honor veterans, and the festivities culminate in a military parade at Moscow’s Red Square.
Victory Day marks Germany’s surrender to the Soviet Union in 1945. It became the end of the Great Patriotic War for the USSR, which lost about 25 million citizens in the four years of fighting. Interestingly, until its 20th anniversary (May 9, 1965), Victory Day was not a major holiday, unlike, for instance, May 1, and was considered a work day. Apart from the anniversaries in 1965 and 1985, Victory Day celebrations in the Soviet Union did not feature a military parade. This tradition started in 1995.
My favourite sport
My favourite sport is tennis.I have tennis lessons every Saturday morning at my local sports centre .In the summer I play tennis with my friends every day.I like tennis because it is great fun and you do exercise at the same time.
You need a racet and special tennis balls to play. There are two players or four players.I sometimes play with my dad.He is terrible and I always beat him.
