May 9 is not only a day off in the midst of spring, allowing you to spend time in nature, but also the Great Victory Day. It is the difference of this day from all others that should be decisive in deciding whether to celebrate it.
Instructions
Step 1
Spend the holiday on May 9 with friends in nature. You can go to the dacha, to a country house, or just have a picnic in the vicinity of the city. The program of the holiday can include barbecue or kebabs, fishing, sports games such as volleyball, friendly competitions and contests. The main limitations of such a pastime can be bad weather or thunderstorms.
Step 2
Take a trip, holidays allow for a short trip. You can visit one of the cities of the Golden Ring of Russia, go to large metropolitan areas, for example, Kazan or St. Petersburg. If your budget does not imply serious waste during this period, you can go out of town to the nearest stud farm and take horse riding lessons.
Step 3
Find the contacts of the Council of Veterans of your city and offer proactive assistance. You can also attract friends. Your assistance will be required when organizing special events, decorating banquet halls, congratulating veterans, wrapping gifts for them, and much more. Most likely, the help you provide will be purely mechanical in nature, but rest assured: it is truly invaluable.
Step 4
Find out in which squares of the city the mass celebrations will be held. Buy flowers and go straight there. Give flowers to the veterans you meet and congratulate them on Victory Day. Finish the evening with watching the festive fireworks, which are held in all cities of Russia.
Step 5
Gather your friends at home. If among the relatives of your acquaintances there are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, invite them too. Prepare a festive table or ordinary buckwheat porridge with stewed meat. Don't forget the front-line 100 grams. Congratulate the veterans, watch movies about the war, but try not to emotionally overwhelm the elderly. You will learn a lot of interesting things about that time, who knows, maybe next year you will no longer have a chance to hear these stories.
