Quotes about the Great Patriotic War
Dear Colleagues!
In less than a month we will celebrate one of the main holidays of our country - MAY 9th. It is still one of the spiritual bonds for society and for the country as a whole.
I know from my own experience how difficult it is sometimes to quickly find the right quote for an exhibition or speech or message. I bring to your attention a selection of quotes about the Great Patriotic War, which includes both poetic and prose quotes. I hope they will help you in preparing exhibitions and events for the holiday date - MAY 9th. Previously, there was a similar selection of quotes about the Battle of Stalingrad.
No government could have resisted such terrible cruel wounds that Hitler inflicted on Russia. But Soviet Russia not only withstood and recovered from these wounds, but also dealt a blow to the German army with such power that no other army in the world could inflict on it ...
Winston Churchill
In the first months of the war, German soldiers in their helmets, green overcoats, with their machine guns, tanks, dominance in the sky inspired fear. They seemed irresistible. The retreat was largely due to this feeling. They had the superiority of weapons, but also the halo of a professional warrior. We, the militias, looked pathetic: blue cavalry breeches, instead of boots - boots and windings. The overcoat is not tall, there is a cap on the head ...
Three weeks passed, a month, and everything began to change. We saw that our shells and bullets were also destroying the enemy, and that the wounded Germans were also screaming and dying. Finally we saw the Germans retreat. There were such first private, small fights when they fled. It was a discovery. We learned from the prisoners that, it turns out, we - the militia, in our ridiculous riding breeches, also inspired fear. The steadfastness of the militias, their fury stopped the rapid advance on the Luga line. The German units are stuck here. The depression from the first staggering blows was gone. We are no longer afraid.
During the blockade, military prowess equalized. Our soldiers, hungry, poorly provided with shells, held their positions for all 900 days, against a well-fed, well-armed enemy, already by virtue of their superior spirit.
Daniil Granin
Do we have the right to forget what peace and freedom cost us? Wouldn't such oblivion be a betrayal before the memory of fallen soldiers, before the grief of inconsolable mothers, lonely widows, orphaned children? This must not be forgotten in the name of our stubborn struggle for peace, which is unthinkable without the bitter memory of the disasters of the past war.
S.S. Smirnov "Brest Fortress"
It is known that the British lose every battle except the last one. This saying speaks of the stability of the country. We were also losing the war, according to all calculations, the Germans had to fulfill the Barbarossa plan, reach the Urals. In military terms, they were stronger than us in all respects. It's really unclear why they lost. We won because we fought against the invaders, our war was a just war, from the very first day we knew that we would win. Moral superiority was more important than aviation superiority.
Daniil Granin
I will take the opportunity to repeat tomorrow in the House of Commons what I said earlier, that it is the Russian army that has gutted the German war machine and is currently holding back an incomparably greater part of the enemy forces on its front.
letter to I. Stalin on September 27, 1944, "Correspondence of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR with the Presidents of the United States and the Prime Ministers of Great Britain during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." M., 1967. T. 1. S. 260
Winston Churchill
On the European front, the most important event of the past year was without a doubt the crushing counter-offensive of the great Russian army against the powerful German grouping. Russian troops have destroyed - and continue to destroy - more manpower, aircraft, tanks and guns of our common enemy than all the rest of the United Nations put together.
Franklin Roosevelt
Under the leadership of Marshal Joseph Stalin, the Russian people showed such an example of love for the motherland, firmness of spirit and self-sacrifice that the world has not yet known. After the war, our country will always be happy to maintain good neighborly relations and sincere friendship with Russia, whose people, saving themselves, help to save the whole world from the Nazi threat.
Franklin Roosevelt
In all my work, the most precious thing is what is dedicated to our Victory. In the 70s, director Carmen invited me to voice the 20-episode documentary film "The Great Patriotic War", where for the first time the true figures of our terrible losses were heard. I remember a close-up of people of different ages who went to the front from besieged Leningrad, and the words: “Look at these faces. Remember them. None of these people will come back alive…” I started voicing and… couldn’t hold back my tears. I had to stop. Only after a week I learned to cope with a lump in my throat and rising tears.

I know it's not my fault
The fact that others did not come from the war,
The fact that they - who is older, who is younger -
Stayed there, and it's not about the same thing,
That I could, but could not save, -
It's not about that, but still, still, still ...
A. T. Tvardovsky
Crossing, crossing!
The guns are firing in pitch darkness.
The fight is holy and right.
Mortal combat is not for glory,
For life on earth.
A. T. Tvardovsky
Yes, you can survive in the heat, in a thunderstorm, in frost,
Yes, you can be hungry and cold
Go to death ... But these three birches
You can't give it to anyone while you're alive.
K. M. Simonov
Only the nation that honors its heroes can be considered great. (Rokossovsky)
Victory! This is the greatest happiness for a soldier - the realization that you helped your people defeat the enemy, defend the freedom of the Motherland, restore peace to it. The consciousness that you have fulfilled your duty as a soldier, a heavy and noble duty, higher than which there is nothing on earth!
Rokossovsky
Not a single country, not a single people of the anti-Hitler coalition suffered such heavy losses as the Soviet Union, and no one exerted so much strength to defeat the enemy that threatened all of humanity. Not a single bomb was dropped on American soil.
G. K. Zhukov
Time has no power over the greatness of everything that we experienced during the war. And the people, which once survived great trials, will continue to draw strength from this victory.
G. K. Zhukov
After Stalingrad, the army became like a hardened blade, capable of crushing any force. The battle on the Kursk salient confirmed this perfectly.
G. K. Zhukov
The war demanded many sacrifices from all the peoples of the world. I am happy that I was born a Russian person. And he shared with his people in the last war the bitterness of many losses and the happiness of Victory.
Zhukov
The greatness of the feat near Moscow lies in the fact that we did not outnumber the Germans by force ... Now it's hard to believe, but at the end of the fighting near Moscow, the rate of shells was set: one or two shots per gun per day.
G. K. Zhukov
I believe that the youth made the main sacrifice in the war. How many wonderful young people we have lost. How many mothers did not wait for children from the war!
Marshal G. Zhukov
The hero is the one who died smartly and bravely, bringing the hour of victory closer. But twice the hero is the one who managed to defeat the enemy and survived. (V. I. Chuikov)
And Russia - dear mother -
Honor all will give in full.
Another fight, another time
Life is one and death is one.
A. T. Tvardovsky
The truth is that, despite the hardest trials, we won. (A. Chakovsky)
Like a child born in labors, -
There will be twice the road
Us the land liberated
From a sworn enemy. (S. Ya. Marshak)
Let the living remember
and let generations know
This harsh truth of the soldiers, taken with battle.
And your crutches, and a mortal wound through
And graves over the Volga,
Where thousands of young lie...
S. Gudzenko
People!
As long as hearts are beating
Remember!
At what price is happiness won, -
Please remember!

forties fatal,
Lead, gunpowder...
War walks across Russia...
D. Samoilov
In Europe, journalists said to my face: “What are you doing in Russia with your Victory? We already forgot." I asked them: “How many days did your countries resist Hitler?” They are silent. Then I continued: “Poland was conquered in 28 days, and in the same 28 days in Stalingrad, the Germans were able to capture only a few houses. Denmark lasted exactly one day. And the whole of Europe submitted in three months. And our soldiers had to free her. And at what cost! A million lives of Soviet soldiers who gave up for the liberation of Europeans from fascism. But Europe chose to forget about it!
Vasily Lanovoy
Now many want to belittle the importance of our country in the defeat of fascism. It's fine if Western ideologists do it, but it's disgusting to see how our homegrown toadies sing along with them for opportunistic reasons. These people encroach on the sacred.
Vasily Lanovoy
Blooming May! Such as in the forty-fifth ...
Holy Ninth!
I bow down low to the waist to the soldiers,
That they brought us Victory a long time ago.
And on Victory Day I'm ready to hug
All veterans! God, let them live!
Let's not forget their feat, and again
We will thank them for life!
War, it is war...
And those who are scorched by the fierce breath,
That bitter cup that is drunk to the bottom,
Not even sweeter... with festive fireworks.
War, it is - war ...
And to this day, the old wounds ache.
And yet - put on the orders!
And Happy Victory Day, veterans!
For the ninth number, let's drink to all hell out of spite !!! For the victory in this world and for the tank - T-34, FOR "Katyusha", FOR a soldier ... let's drink standing up, guys!!! Let's say THANKS to grandfather for the Great Victory!!!
We are RUSSIAN and let the enemy remember forever that only then do we kneel when we kiss the RUSSIAN flag!
Thanks to grandfather for the Victory, for every house that stood, for the clear sky, for the faith, for the fact that we now live!
I don’t know why, it’s somewhere inside me, but for some reason I cry on Victory Day. This is really a holiday for me with tears in my eyes. Especially when I hear the song "Victory Day". But at the same time, the mood is still festive. Probably the tears of memory are combined with pride for their people and joy from a difficult, but still Victory.
There are almost none left - WAR VETERANS ...
That distant and strong SOVIET COUNTRY ...
But burst into their youth... Without asking the war...
Who reached the Victory ... Well, someone left names at the graves ...
How they defeated the enemy, they themselves knew GOD ...
Boots trampled kilometers of roads ...
And believe me, more than once, death looked in the face ...
And in the hand the ring froze from the grenade ...
We know firsthand about that terrible misfortune ...
From fathers and grandfathers about the great war ...
You are all in the memory of our WAR VETERANS ...
That distant and strong... that SOVIET country...
Let's quietly bow our heads... Just keep quiet...
Thank you for the VICTORY, you loved ones, relatives ...

“The second front was opened by a Russian woman. In 1941, when she took on all this male, backbreaking work, when the front, the army, the war leaned on her with their might. Well, I'm not talking about the feat of the same Russian woman after the war, the hearth is homely, warmly homely, the song - all this was warm. And a new generation grew up primarily around women. This must never be forgotten. And, of course, a Russian woman, a Russian woman, is worthier than the greatest monuments.”

In my eyes the last star -

What to do. Memory is to blame.

We have enough deeds and glory,
Victory under the bloody enemy

For the happiness of the earth through the smoke and troubles,
Scarlet dawn spots on the dry land
Like a memory of the heavy price of victory.

How clay smells in the trenches,

Thanks to everyone who gave their lives
For native Russia, for freedom,
Who forgot fear and fought,
Serving the people you love.
Thank you,
Your deed is eternal
As long as my country is alive
You are in our souls
In our heart
Heroes will not be forgotten, Never!
Come on, the ninth, let's remember them,
Who is no longer alive today ...
Who never returned in forty-five,
Remaining in our memory as a soldier ...
And those who returned, but soon left -
In the light of that refuge I found ...
Blame it all - a brutal war,
Giving posthumous orders,
Wounded souls and bodies,
Brought so much evil to the living !!!
Defenders! We will honor you sacredly
And keep those terrible years in memory,
I found several quotes from the war and I want to bring them to your attention.
It would be nice to recall these statements to the current smart people in Europe and overseas, who deny the role of Russia in World War II and the Great Patriotic War!
70 years of the Great Victory
W. Churchill, About the war:
The monstrous machine of fascist power was broken by the superiority of Russian maneuver, Russian prowess, Soviet military science and the excellent leadership of Soviet generals. Apart from the Soviet armies, there was no such force that could break the back of the Hitlerite military machine...
Winston Churchill, On War:
No government could have resisted such terrible cruel wounds that Hitler inflicted on Russia. But the Soviets not only withstood and recovered from these wounds, but also dealt a blow to the German army with such power that no other army in the world could deal it with ...
W. Churchill, About Russia:
In the east of Europe is the great power of Russia, a country that strives for peace; a country that is most deeply threatened by Nazi hostility, a country that at the moment stands as a huge background and counterbalance to all the states of Central Europe that I have mentioned. There is absolutely no need for us to bow to Soviet Russia or to rely in any way on the action of the Russians. But what short-sighted fools we would be if now, when the danger is so great, we would create unnecessary obstacles to the joining of the great Russian masses in the cause of resistance to the act of Nazi aggression.
W. Churchill, About the war:
It was a Russian bear that emptied its guts from Nazi Germany.
W. Churchill, About people:
Russians may seem narrow-minded, impudent or even stupid people, but one can only pray to those who stand in their way.
C. Hell, US Secretary of State, On the war:
Only the heroic resistance of the Soviet Union saved the Allies from the shameful separate peace with Germany...
E. Stettinius, US Secretary of State, On the war:
The American people should not forget that in 1942 they were not far from disaster. If the Soviet Union could not hold its front, the Germans would have the opportunity to capture Great Britain. They could also take over Africa, in which case they would be able to establish their foothold in Latin America...
F. Roosevelt, US President, About Russia:
From the point of view of grand strategy, it is difficult to get away from the obvious fact that the Russian armies destroy more soldiers and weapons of the enemy than all the other 25 states of the united nations combined ...
F. Roosevelt, On Achievements:
On the European front, the most important event of the past year was without a doubt the crushing counter-offensive of the great Russian army against the powerful German grouping. Russian troops have destroyed - and continue to destroy - more manpower, aircraft, tanks and guns of our common enemy than all the rest of the United Nations put together.
F. Roosevelt, About Russia:
Under the leadership of Marshal Joseph Stalin, the Russian people showed such an example of love for the motherland, firmness of spirit and self-sacrifice that the world has not yet known. After the war, our country will always be happy to maintain good neighborly relations and sincere friendship with Russia, whose people, saving themselves, help to save the whole world from the Nazi threat.
Robert Kershaw, About Russia:
The Germans did not seriously think about the defeat, what defeats could be after so many victories! However, victories are victories, but they have not yet seen such losses as in Russia. Here you had to win and pay for the victories with your own lives.
Völkischer Beobachter", About people:
The Russian soldier surpasses our enemy in the West in his contempt for death. Patience and fatalism keep him going until he is killed in a trench or falls dead in hand-to-hand combat...
Albert Einstein, On War:
The war has been won, but not the peace.
B. Franklin, About the war:
The high-road robber, whether he joins a gang or robs alone, is still a robber; and a nation that starts an unrighteous war is nothing but a big gang of robbers.
C. De Gaulle, About the war:
At the moment when the Free France becomes an ally of Soviet Russia in the struggle against a common enemy, I allow myself to express to you my admiration for the unshakable resistance of the Russian people, as well as the courage and bravery of its armies and generals. Throwing all its might against the aggressor, the USSR gave all the currently oppressed peoples confidence in their liberation. I have no doubt that thanks to the heroism of the Soviet armies, victory will crown the efforts of the Allies and the new bonds created between the Russian and French peoples will be a cardinal element in the restructuring of the world.
C. De Gaulle, About colleagues:
At a moment when a long European war ends in a common victory, I ask you, Mr. Marshal, to convey to your people and your army the feelings of admiration and deep love of France for her heroic and powerful ally. You created from the USSR one of the main elements of the struggle against the oppressor powers, it was thanks to this that victory could be won. Great Russia and you personally have earned the gratitude of all of Europe, which can live and prosper only when it is free.
I. A. Grishin, M. G. Emelyanov, About Russia:
Russian vodka defeated German schnapps, as it had the best warming effect, and also added obsession to the drinker. After spanking, you want to sing, and after vodka, you want to fight.
S.S. Smirnov, About the past:
Do we have the right to forget what peace and freedom cost us? Wouldn't such oblivion be a betrayal before the memory of fallen soldiers, before the grief of inconsolable mothers, lonely widows, orphaned children? This must not be forgotten in the name of our stubborn struggle for peace, which is unthinkable without the bitter memory of the disasters of the past war.

The roots stretched to the water at the cliff,
And the lily of the valley, rising on a toe,
I looked into the funnel from the gap. (M. Dudin. Nightingales)
Spring has also come to us.
The soldiers were not up to sleep -
Not because the guns hit.
And because they sing again
Forgetting that there are fights going on here,
Crazy nightingales sing. (A. Fatyanov "Nightingales")
They say posthumously
Our bodies will become earth.
I'm ready to believe
In this simple rumor.
Let me become a particle
Land reclaimed in battle
The land on which
Now I live with all my heart. (R. Gamzatov)
And I, until death is extinguished
In my eyes the last star -
I am your soldier, waiting for your orders.
Lead me, Great Russia,
For labor. To death, to a feat - I'm going! (N. Gribachev)
What to do. Memory is to blame.
Like a bayonet she scratched,
That on such a day a long time ago
(Do not get rid of this date from the heart!)
The war rose in black smoke. (E.Asadov)
For the rest of my life
We have enough deeds and glory,
Victory under the bloody enemy
For the rest of my life.
(from song)
O my generation! We walked with you
For the happiness of the earth through the smoke and troubles,
Scarlet dawn spots on the dry land
Like a memory of the heavy price of victory. (E.Asadov)
How clay smells in the trenches,
I walked from the Volga itself
to Berlin
soldier
Motherland (V. Poltoratsky)
Do not forget, do not forget us, soldiers,
Those who were buried by the war ...
Dates are still being answered
To their immortal names (I. Rzhavsky)
The brave strives for victory,
Bold road ahead.
A bold bullet is afraid
Does not take a bold bayonet. A. A. Surkov, "Song of the Brave"
And silence surrounds us with you
The stronger and more clearly audible
Her peals, raising the earth. (V. Sidorov)
They lay down on the battlefield
Those who have barely begun to live
And the sky was blue
There was green grass (Casanova)
Glory will not cease these days, it will never fade. (S. Alimov)
Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten. (O. Bergholz)
Glory to the fighters who stood up for the truth
The banner of freedom was carried high. (S. Mikhalkov)
He did not spare himself in battle,
And saved the Motherland. (M.Isakovsky)
The war is over, the suffering is over
But pain calls out to people:
Come on people never
Let's not forget about this. (A. Tvardovsky)
I was born unexpectedly
Born uninvited
Into a hellish conflagration
In fire crumble (N. Ryabinina)
I don't need to worry
So that that war is not forgotten,
After all, this memory is our conscience,
She is like a force, we need Y. Voronov
And in the memory of the past comes to life,
And war echoes
(A. Pyanov Victorious Spring)
“We drank the cup of sorrow to the bottom ...” (V. Suslov)
"War is over. But with a singed song
She is still circling over every house ... ”(M. Nozhkin)
And again, memory haunts us. (M. Nozhkin)

A little about War. Song about T-34
A song about the T34 tank, dedicated to the fallen soldiers in the Great Patriotic War. T34 - Soviet tank, during the Great Patriotic War, was mass-produced and was the main tank of the Red Army. The best medium tank of the Second World War. The last modification of the tank, produced before 1958, the T34-85, is in service with some countries to this day. Currently, the T34 tank, of various modifications, can be seen in the form of monuments and museum exhibits.
The most common tank of that great war
In it from mortal wounds, people like us died
Placed on a pedestal, at a crossroads
So that anyone can touch him
I'm sure you liked these lines. Dear readers, I suggest listening to a wonderful nostalgic song about the Great T-34. Songwriter Sergei Bardoshin. : Here is a link to the original song.
Quotations and aphorisms.
1 War will be repeated as long as it is not decided by those who die on the battlefields. A. Barbus
2 War equally taxes both men and women, but only takes blood from some, and tears from others. W. Thackeray
3 War is not a real feat, war is a surrogate for feat. At the heart of a feat is the richness of the connections that it creates, the tasks that it sets, the accomplishments that it encourages. A simple game of heads or tails will not turn into a feat, even if the stake in it is life or death. War is not a feat. War is a disease. Like typhoid. Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
