What is victory and how do we win every day?

We adults have deafened in the noise of everyday life and often do not hear the music and the real meaning of Russian words, missing the joy of many small victories, which themselves imperceptibly daily reach. We do not understand how much our every, even the smallest, victory means.

Just listen

The meaning of the word has become so strong in our minds that we no longer think about the depth of its semantics, and our life because of this becomes completely ordinary, no matter what we do. For the answer to the question "What is victory?" There is no need to go too far. It can not even be searched on the Internet, it is so obvious. It's enough just to listen to the word to understand its meaning. Proceeding from the very composition of the lexeme, victory (the meaning of the word) is life after the BED. Especially well it is felt by children from two to five years. The little girl speaks of a family drama: "My mother and I had a long time, but now my father has returned, and we have a victory." Or a boy of the same age about his conflict in the yard with a friend: "I took it, took my gun and took it home. And today his grandmother returned me. And now I have a victory, and he has a problem. "

Emotional component of victory

The written word carries the actual information, but in order to reflect the real human emotion, it must sound. There are a lot of examples, and many of them are in the literature. In Pushkin's drama Boris Godunov, the protagonist before his death tells his son Fyodor that the word royal should not be wasted. It must either solemnly announce the victory, or sound a tockle in the time of great national ills. And the poet ends his work with a scene when, after the murder of Fedor and his mother, the boyars came out and told lies to the people. An eloquent response followed - the people are silent in anticipation of trouble. True, from the original manuscript the poet deleted the last three words, leaving only the first two, emotionally reinforcing what the crowd was silent about on the summer morning of 1603 near the Red Porch. In the next decade, the Russian people learned well what the word victory means. Time of great trouble, which followed one after another, when the Tsar of Moscow swore allegiance to the Polish king in vassal loyalty with a kissing hand, which he gave and took away. "I will give you reign," Stanislav Stanislav told Shuisky, "so that you will pacify your people." But he did not understand what victory was, and the false-Dmitrii were growing like mushrooms after the rain. And then the weighty word was said by the people: "Do not look for misfortunes, then victory will not be required."

Absence of trouble

Probably, people are so arranged that life without trouble they seem fresh. Always after the "quiet" period there are violent times when people want and even actively seek to feel on their own skin what victory is. They cease to appreciate the benefit of a gradual but passive development, when creators and not thieves or revolutionaries become the core of society, when the calls of the "Pugachevs" do not find any response in the mass of the masses. Representatives of the ruling elite are beginning to get bored and get fat, believing that their fatness is their personal merit, and not a consequence of the absence of people's ills. But even these people sooner or later too begin to look for "after-disasters". Yes, actually, every person lives this way personally. For some reason, the constant food on the table and the warmth in the house, people quickly become jaded, and rushing to the trouble. Quiet, measured life of very few people are interested in, and young people and does live a continuous adventure, risking withering without constant bursts of violent emotions. Perhaps, therefore, dudes are looking for the attention of women not yet conquered, and busy beauties shoot eyes even in company with their young people - they do not have enough new victories.

The Greatest War

In the late 30-ies of the last century, all Soviet people lived a premonition of great misfortune, but not just doomedly waiting for unhappiness, and feeling a secret emotional rise. People had time to forget what victory was, and therefore almost unconsciously sought to change the situation. The military suffered particularly badly from the expectation. Of course, for the victory it was necessary to look and troubles. A misfortune is an unpretentious one, and it always comes if they are looking for it. And so, on June 22, 1941, the war began and lasted for four long years. This war was imposed on fascist Germany by the Soviet Union. Frenzied invaders supported many European countries - Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, Finland, Croatia. To call the "Great Patriotic War" the war began at the moment when Stalin addressed the people on radio air on July 3, 1941, and these two words were used separately. Previously, this phrase was used in the newspaper Pravda, simply as a beautiful name, along with such words as "sacred" and "folk". After the Order of the Patriotic War was introduced (May 20, 1942), approved by the Decree of the Presidium, the name became official, but only in the USSR. In other countries, the name was not used or used. For example, in England the war is called "Eastern Front of the Second World War". And in Germany - "Russian campaign", "German-Soviet war", "Eastern march". Now very often the incorrect term was used: the Great Patriotic War is simply called the "Great", the so-called war in 1910, the First World War.

Very few reliable sources remain, as witnesses of that war, and there is no need to distort the names in our history. We, the descendants, can only cherish the memory of the holy war, not forgetting what price the long-awaited victory for the Soviet people was.
