Reports of military commissars from defeated Berlin - in the editorials of Soviet and foreign newspapers dated May 9, 1945. The main organ of the Soviet press, The Pravda newspaper, reports with a multimillion circulation of unconditional surrender of the German armed forces. "Long live the day of the nationwide celebration - Victory Day!" The main news - next to the name, on the first page.
Pridnestrovians were able to learn about the victory from the distant 1945 in this year 2018 to feel themselves eyewitnesses of fateful events. One of the organizers of the new patriotic event was the Supreme Council. It was proposed to distribute the triumphant number of The Pravda in all cities and countries of the CIS on the Victory Day at the All-Russian Forum of the Young Guard, which was held in April this year in Kazan. The event started during the traditional "Zemlyanka" in Tiraspol. Everyone who read it could feel themselves to be real eyewitnesses of those fateful days.
This issue of the newspaper became a real gift for those who witnessed the war, who met and remembered the very first Victory Day.
After Levitan, the newspaper at that time is the second most popular source of information. On the first page of The Pravda on Wednesday, May 9, 1945, a signed document on the military capitulation of fascist Germany, a statement by Comrade Molotov at a press conference in San Francisco, an operational summary from the Soviet Information Bureau and an overnight report from the main square of the country.
Only a copy of this number is kept in the city museum. The pre-war archives were burnt, the new ones began to be launched after the war.
The multi-million circulation of the triumphant issue of The Pravda was printed on the night of May 9 in Moscow, in the largest Soviet printing house. The so-called deep method of printing involves typing almost manually. One and a half thousand copies of the newspaper for the patriotic campaign are published today on modern equipment a few days before the start of the mass event. A copy of the newspaper is half the size, but it is more like the military press of those years. This is a real symbol of time, the opportunity to feel at the place of their grandparents for high school students who distributed the newspaper within the framework of the action.
The President supported the mass event. In his opinion, such patriotic action is of interest to everyone and, above all, to the modern generation.
Whether it is a portrait of the great-grandfather in the series of the Immortal Regiment, the St. George's ribbon on his chest as a symbol of Victory, or the newspaper's number from the victorious 1945 is all that helps to maintain the connection between the past and the future. No one was forgotten.
