Great Patriotic War vs II World War

The Victory Day of the “Great Patriotic War” (Russian II World War), 9 of May, in the former republic of Soviet Union shows how by using collective memory a government is able to change the perception of the biggest tragedy of humankind. One of the most popular holiday in Russia, when just a few veterans are marching among the big crowds of young people and children. They are celebrating the heroism of their grandfathers, forgetting to remember the victims. They have replaced the greatest sadness by the high joy. But is there any place for celebration on the land, where millions were lost unfair sentenced to death?
