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?
