The parade of Heroes, the parade of Winners. Read this be sure and tell the children!

My father once expressed a shrill and terrible thought:

"In the main parade in honor of Victory Day 24 June 1945, was attended by ten thousand soldiers and officers of armies and fronts. The passage of the front "boxes" of troops lasted thirty minutes. And you know what I think? During the four years of war, the loss of our army amounted to almost nine million dead. And each of them, gave the Victory most precious — life! deserved to go in the parade on red square. Now, if all the dead to put in a parade, these "boxes" I went through Red square nineteen days..." And I suddenly daydream, introduced the parade.

The front "box" twenty-ten.

One hundred and twenty steps per minute.

In the windings and boots, greatcoats, "the suits" and jackets, caps with earflaps, "budenovka", helmets, caps, caps.

And nineteen days and nights through Red square would go this continuous stream of the fallen of the battalions, regiments, divisions. The parade of heroes, the parade of winners.

Think about it!

Nineteen days!..
