"When I'm asked what I remembered most of all from the war I always say: The battle for Moscow!
The grateful children will never forget the brave, the hard work and the courage of the Soviet people. And the perpetrators of the war not only of the individual soldiers, but also of the various divisions and unions in those terrible times of our nation. In the battle in the Moscow region, the basis for the defeat that later came to Nazi Germany was laid. "
Governor of the Soviet Union Zhukov Georgi Konstanovich
(Commander of the First Belarusian Front)
"I bow down before you my brothers and
sisters- citizens of Stalingrad, I can't continue without saying some warm words to the women.
I am sure that in the same symphonies, oratorios and cantatas that composers wrote for Stalingrad the high and soft notes will be for you, brave women. "
Marshal of the Soviet Union Jerominko Andrey Ivanovich.
(Commander of the fourth front line of Ukraine)
"We didn't win the war easily. The enemy
was strong and treacherous and because of that the soviet soldiers deserve a THANK YOU for the victory on the Nazis.
The word soldier is a collection: it’s a private, also a sergeant, also a Sergeant major, also a officer, Both general and governor and front line soldiers and the partisans.
The power of the soviet soldiers was similar to power of the Nazis soldiers despite that the soldiers were extraordinary and unusual."
Marshall of the Soviet Union Koneev Ivan Stepanovich
(commander of the first front line of Ukraine)
