At what cost is happiness, please remember!

80th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War and the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland Primorsky Regional Public Library named after A.M. Gorky dedicates a memorial exhibition "No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten" (12+). Opening - March 12.

The Great Patriotic War lasted almost four years, or 1418 days. They became the most difficult, heavy and bitter in the history of our country. If material and economic losses can be more or less accurately calculated, then the number of destinies crippled and human lives shattered is incalculable.

From the very first day of the enemy attack on our Motherland, from June 22, 1941, all the long 3 years, 10 months and 17 days people waited for the Victory and believed in it without limit, exerting all their strength, and even beyond human strength, for the speedy defeat of the military armada of the Nazis. The Nazis waged a war of extermination against our people. After the defeat of Germany, many historians were horrified by the fact that German generals were enthusiastic about Nazi orders to treat the population of the Soviet Union “like animals.” Enemy aircraft barbarously bombed our cities and civilian facilities, and captured, including wounded, often simply killed. Punishers immediately appeared on the territory occupied by the Nazis of the USSR, robbing and destroying the local population.

But no matter how strong, no matter how cruel and insidious the enemy turned out to be, he could not oppose the boundless courage and heroism of the Soviet people.
