Artist’s Description
 
Этот День Победы  
Порохом пропах,  
Это праздник  
С сединою на висках.  
Это радость  
Со слезами на глазах.  
День Победы!  
День Победы!  
День Победы!
 
[English translation]  
This Victory Day  
Air saturated with gunpowder,  
It’s a celebration  
With temples already gray,  
It’s joy  
With tears upon our eyes  
Victory Day!  
Victory Day!  
Victory Day!

С Днём Победы!

Today is Victory Day - the end of Great People’s War, which is a part of World War II - a war between USSR and Nazi Germany in 1941-1945. It is one of the main celebrations here in Russia - day of glory, day of sorrow, day of memory. I can even call it sacred in a way.
 
My own grandfather was a lieutenant of Red Army and was seriously wounded under Konigsberg (modern Kaliningrad). My great-grandfather was a major, was fighting at Moscow, Kursk and was wounded by Kiev. My “grunkle” (greatuncle) died during breach of blockade of Leningrad at the age of 20.
 
I felt like drawing something to honor the memory of my ancestors, who were fighting and sacrificing themselves, so that we could have peaceful skies above our heads.
