Happy Victory Day: we remember and we are grateful to you!

“Katyusha” is sung all over the world, and in RUDN University we are also very fond of it. We decided to repeat the song, which has become a symbol of Victory. It is performed by students from different countries. 
 


They are students from different countries!  
They remember and are grateful!  
They know the great day — May 9, 1945 — the day of the Great Victory. The day the bird cherry blossomed...  
 


Soviet children grew up knowing the names of the heroes — Valya Kotik, Zina Portnova, Lyonya Golikov ... Are these names known to today’s youth?  

Elena Kryazheva-Kartseva, PhD of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Russian History at RUDN University, tells about the exploits of children and adolescents during the Great Patriotic War.
