May 9 – The Great Victory Day
09-05-2021
In 1941-1945, Soviet troops won a brutal war against the policy of fascist Germany to conquer the world. In the ranks of the Soviet troops, twenty percent of the total population of that time – 1,196,164 Kazakhs participated in hostilities. 
More than six hundred thousand Kazakhs with mixed ages and beginnings, who went to the front for a million years, were shot. Many of those who have returned to the country are in a state with disabilities, are in a state with severe health consequences. It was a historic disaster that struck tens, hundreds of millions of people. 

It is the 76th anniversary of the end of a brutal war, the Victory of sweat and blood shed on the path of justice, the glorified image of heroes who defended their land. It has been more than a quarter of a century since the Soviet Union and most of the Union republics received sovereignty. 

The Great Victory Day is widely celebrated annually in independent Kazakhstan. After all, despite the fact that this victory belongs to the Soviet Union, which has long been lost from the scene, the skin, the pida, the soul, the spirit of the ancestors, the heroes who glorified the Union are on the way to it. 

The coronavirus pandemic is forced to limit large-scale events organized on the eve of the anniversaries of the Great Victory. In accordance with this, we would like to present to your attention attractive drawings and informative texts from the printed archives of the National State Book Chamber from the pages of the newspapers "socialist Kazakhstan" and "Kazakhstanskaya Pravda", published in 1945.
