We can and must please the heroes

For several years now there has been a youth club in Moscow charitable foundation"GRANDSON". The project activists themselves decipher the acronym as “Veterans need care and company” - and are ready to give the remaining veterans, those who do not have grandchildren, both. On the eve of May 9th their the main task: do general cleaning in the apartments of those old people who can no longer cope with washing windows or shaking out carpets themselves. And along the way, of course, talk - many veterans willingly share their memories of difficult times, and volunteers willingly listen to them. Most of the enthusiasts are very young: schoolchildren and students.

If you want something more pathetic than simple wet cleaning, then you can take part in the patriotic event “Thank you for the Victory,” which will take place on May 6–7. As part of this project, citizens can write any personal nice words gratitude to veterans - and Moscow volunteers will definitely pass them on to the recipients. Special mailboxes will be installed in Moscow's largest parks, and all collected postcards will be sent to veterans' councils by May 9.

In addition, a photo album - perhaps already decorated with several cards from the war years - or something more practical would be an excellent gift for a veteran. According to experienced volunteers, an LED lamp (a great way to save on electricity in the coming months), a blanket or a warm blanket, treats like chocolate and fruit, or just a basket of groceries can please the elderly - what seems boring and unromantic to young people will be greeted with a bang old people.

Veterans with whom you personally know can be invited to the cinema - especially since it will not cost anything. More than 40 films dedicated to the Great Patriotic War can be seen at free charity film screenings from May 6 to May 9 in cinemas and parks. They will show these famous films, like “The Ballad of a Soldier”, “The Fate of a Man”, “Twenty Days Without War”, “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet...”, “Belorussky Station”, “Soldiers”, “Mashenka” and other films. However, if going to the cinema were not free, many Muscovites would be happy to please the heroes. There is not even a doubt about it.

The option is no worse - going to the theater or concert, especially since the day before important holiday Several youth volunteer groups planned performances dedicated to the war, also for free. For example, at the Stimul recreation center (Sibirsky proezd, 2, p. 5) on May 4 at 20.00 there will be a concert of military songs “Let us bow to those great years,” organized by an amateur vocal studio. And near the Volzhskaya metro station (Shkuleva St., 15/18) on May 6 at 19.00, the actors of the amateur theater "Tener" invite everyone to the musical production "And the Dawns Here Are Quiet", in which old pre-war songs will be performed by young actors, - also free.

Light white chalets decorated with fresh flowers appeared on the streets and squares of Moscow. The aroma from them is unearthly: you can’t even believe that you are in the center of a metropolis. Sometimes it is mixed with the smell of ice cream or barbecue: there is food at the festival for every taste. But main character this spring - music. They play everywhere and in all modes. Jazz is heard on Theater Square, blues is heard a little closer to the metro... (By the way, the points with the artists are placed very competently: far enough so that the songs do not merge, and close enough so that you can quickly move between venues). In total, 150 performers will perform for Muscovites, which will total 1,200 hours of live music.

On Pushkin Square as part of the festival famous director and choreographer Yegor Druzhinin will stage the musical “Girl without an Address” based on the Soviet romantic film.

The parade of the cadet movement, like all other performances by boys and girls in uniform, will be held under the motto “The connection between generations will not be interrupted!”

How to watch the parade?

It will start at 10.00 on Red Square and will be broadcast on TV channels. The ideal option for those who want to look at the equipment is to attend rehearsals or catch the equipment after the parade. You won't be able to get to Red Square - all invitations are personal only and are not available for free sale. The parade will be broadcast at city venues and parks.

The flight of aircraft can be seen from many points. Perhaps the best of them is Raushskaya embankment. And it will be possible to photograph the equipment above St. Basil's Cathedral. Tall buildings will not obscure the view.

It is ideal to look at the equipment along the route. At the same time, it is better to avoid Tverskaya Street from Pushkinskaya Square to Manezhnaya - this section will still be blocked. Alternatively, you can look at the equipment during parade rehearsals - for example, on May 7 at 10.00 there will be a dress rehearsal with the participation of foot columns and military equipment, and on the morning of May 4 you can see an aircraft flying over Moscow.

But with foot columns things are more complicated, because they usually approach Red Square from several sides - along Varvarka, Ilyinka and from Kotelnicheskaya Embankment.
