We can and must please the heroes

For several years now there has been a youth charitable foundation "V.N.U.K." in Moscow. The project activists themselves decipher the abbreviation as "Veterans need care and company" - and are ready to give the remaining veterans, those who have no grandchildren, both. On the eve of May 9, their main task is to do a general cleaning in the apartments of those old people who themselves can no longer cope with washing windows or shaking out carpets. And along the way, of course, to talk - many veterans willingly share their memories of difficult times, and volunteers willingly listen to them. Most of the enthusiasts are very young: schoolchildren and students.

If you want something more pathetic than a simple wet cleaning, then you can take part in the patriotic action “Thank you for the Victory”, which will be held on May 6–7. As part of this project, citizens can write any personal warm words of gratitude to veterans on postcards, and Moscow volunteers will certainly pass them on to the recipients. Special mailboxes will be installed in the largest parks in Moscow, and all the collected postcards will be sent to veterans' councils by May 9.

In addition, an excellent gift for a veteran would be a photo album - maybe already decorated with several cards of the war years - or something more practical. According to seasoned volunteers, older people can be happy with an LED lamp (a great way to save on electricity in the coming months), a blanket or a warm blanket, goodies like chocolate and fruit, or just a basket of groceries - what seems boring and unromantic to young people will be greeted with a bang. old people.

Veterans with whom you personally know can be invited to the cinema - especially since it will not cost anything. More than 40 films dedicated to the Great Patriotic War can be seen at charitable free film screenings from May 6 to 9 in cinemas and parks. Such well-known films as "The Ballad of a Soldier", "The Fate of a Man", "Twenty Days Without War", "The Dawns Here Are Quiet...", "Belorussky Station", "Soldiers", "Mashenka" and other films will be shown. However, if going to the cinema was not free, many Muscovites would gladly please the heroes. There is not even a doubt about it.

The option is no worse - going to the theater or to a concert, especially since on the eve of an important holiday, several youth volunteer associations have planned performances dedicated to the war, and also for free. For example, in the recreation center "Stimulus" (Sibirsky passage, 2, building 5) on May 4 at 20.00 there will be a concert of military songs "Let's bow to those great years", organized by an amateur vocal studio. And near the metro station "Volzhskaya" (Shkuleva street, 15/18) on May 6 at 19.00 the actors of the amateur theater "TeNer" invite everyone to the musical production "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", which will feature old pre-war songs performed by young actors, - also free.

Several special holiday concerts will be organized separately for veterans:

May 5 - in the territorial centers of social services "Yasenevo" and "Zyuzino", beginning at 10.00;

Listen to the Alexandrov Ensemble

The main festive celebrations in the city will, of course, fall on May 9th. But sitting at home waiting for fireworks and a parade is also not worth it. On April 28, the Moscow Spring acapella festival began in the city: a celebration of spring, music and good mood. Light white chalets decorated with fresh flowers appeared on the streets and squares of Moscow. The aroma from them is unearthly: you can’t even believe that you are in the center of a metropolis. Sometimes it is mixed with the smell of ice cream or kebabs: food at the festival for every taste. But the main character of this spring is music. They play everywhere and in every way. Jazz sounds on Teatralnaya Square, blues sounds a little closer to the metro... (By the way, the dots with the artists are placed very competently: far enough so that the songs do not merge, and close enough so that you can quickly move between venues). In total, 150 performers will play for Muscovites, which in total will give 1200 hours of live music.

On Pushkin Square within the framework of the festival, the famous director and choreographer Yegor Druzhinin will stage the musical "The Girl Without an Address" based on the Soviet romantic film. Last session will be May 5 at 16.00 and 18.00. In addition, thematic excursions will be held during the festival. Educational walks dedicated to composers, musical theaters and patrons of the capital, who took care of the musical life of the city, start Stoleshnikov Lane, house 6–8. For example, May 6 at 13.00 they will tell about the front and non-front Tverskaya, and May 7 at 13.00 will hold a musical in Moscow. Excursions about literature and history will start at Novy Arbat, 13. The final gala concert of the festival will take place on May 8th.

Special festive concerts dedicated to the Victory Day will start already May 8. At the entrance square of Victory Park, on Poklonnaya Hill, on this day at 17:00 there will be a defile of the Kremlin riding school - the show "Traditions of Russia". Cavalrymen will walk across the square with a slender step, a parade with the flags of hero cities will take place. In addition, riders will show tricks on horseback. The concert will start on the main stage at the same time.

May 9 at 13.00 in Victory Park will host a traditional concert of the Mariinsky Theater Symphony Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev. It will be the end of the Easter Festival, with which the maestro traveled all over Russia and visited Syria. Those who could not get to Red Square can start their morning there, on Poklonnaya Hill: at 10.00 the Victory Parade will be broadcast on large TV screens.

First on Poklonnaya Hill the action "Light of memory" will take place. A 10-meter construction will appear on the entrance square: an image of fire and a flower, war and the joy of Victory. The torch flower will change color from red to white to gold.

In general, concerts will be held in every park in the capital. On the square in front of the main entrance of VDNKh the Alexandrov Academic Song and Dance Ensemble will perform. Reborn after a terrible tragedy in December 2016, the ensemble has prepared a special repertoire. On May 9, an ensemble of military drummers will perform, and the choir will perform "Smuglyanka", "Oh, roads ...", "It's time to go, the road", "On a sunny meadow." The arch of the main entrance itself will turn into one huge screen, which will broadcast footage of the pre-war and post-war years of the history of VDNKh.

Gorky Park these days will be filled with music. It's better to come at 13.00, and immediately - to dance: everyone will be taught "Soviet retro". The lesson will last two hours. If you don’t have a soul for dancing, everything is to the French chanson performed by Philippe Dares: close your eyes and imagine the narrow streets of Paris in the setting sun ... Every half an hour from 16.30 they will tell unimagined stories about the war, and at 21.00 the screening of "Once upon a time there was a girl" will begin - a film about the life of besieged Leningrad.

theatre square- a traditional meeting place for veterans - 9th May will live up to its name and become a platform where scenes from performances about the war will be played. Literary readings from young actors and graduates of theatrical universities will also be held on Triumfalnaya Square. The most active will be able to participate in collective readings of poems dedicated to the war.

May 8 and 9 Pushkinskaya Square turned into an open-air cinema. A cinema will be installed near the monument to the poet: Muscovites will see musical numbers and films about the war. And at the end of the holiday there will be a concert with military songs.

At the Cathedral of Christ the Savior on Victory Day Artists of the Moskontsert will perform. Naturally, military songs will be performed.

How to watch the parade?

It will start at 10.00 on Red Square and will be broadcast on TV channels. An ideal option for those who want to look at the technique is to attend rehearsals or catch the technique after the parade. You won’t be able to get to Red Square - all invitations are only personalized and they are not on free sale. The parade will be broadcast at city venues and parks.

Flights of aircraft can be viewed from many points. Perhaps the best of them is Raushskaya embankment. And it will be possible to photograph the equipment above St. Basil's Cathedral. Tall houses do not block the view.

It is ideal to watch the technique along the route. At the same time, it is better to avoid Tverskaya Street from Pushkinskaya Square to Manezhnaya - this section will still be blocked. Alternatively, you can look at the equipment during the rehearsals of the parade - for example, on May 7 at 10.00 a dress rehearsal will take place with the participation of foot columns and military equipment, and on May 4 in the morning you can see the flight of aircraft over Moscow.

But things are more complicated with foot columns, because they usually approach Red Square from several directions - along Varvarka, Ilyinka and from Kotelnicheskaya embankment.

It is better to take places for viewing in advance, because, as practice shows, there will be a lot of people who want to see columns of military equipment and “boxes”.
