This song is quite controversial:)) The term "Вежливые люди" ("polite people") have recently acquired a figurative meaning. It refers to all the Russian military men (or soldiers) who took part in the reunification of the Crimea with Russia. Try to find the conjugated forms of the verbs in the first verse of the song. Key words: лЮди (lyUdee - people) взгляд (fsglyat - look (n.)) прОсто (prOsta - just) вЕжливо (vyEzhleeva - politely) вЕжливый (vyEzhleevyi - polite (masculine), vyEzhleevyiye (plural)) смотрЕть (infinitive form) (smatryEt` - to look) просИть (infin.)

English true version of the song: As the morning mist over the river Fills the blooming orchards far and wide And the trees with a morning chill still quiver, Catherine walks out to the riverside. She comes singing songs about an eagle Soaring proudly in the sky above And the one in the service of his people Whom young Catherine genuinely loves. May her songs fly over the valley Rising high to ring out loud and clear. May they follow her letters she can't tally To that soldier on the far frontier. He will see her standing by the water. He will hear her songs from up above. As he keeps vigil to protect our borders, His sweet Catherine will preserve their love. As the morning mist over the

6 million people are considered to be unaccounted for (пропАвшие без вестИ - propAfshiye byez vyesteE) after the Great Patriotic War... This song reflects the anxiety and worries of a loving girl KatyUsha (endearing/affectionate form of Katya) who waits her sweetheart to return. The name of the song has double meaning: today, the name Katyusha is also associated with the name of the Russian superior missile combat systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mowe4ojo_iY

Public Life Victory Day is a national holiday in Russia. Public offices, schools and most businesses are closed for the celebrations. There may be changes in public transport routes due to parades and street performances. Neighborhood schools may host a program prepared by the students, featuring wartime songs and poetry. At home, families gather around a festive table to honor surviving witnesses of World War II and remember those who passed away. They may also watch a favorite Soviet film based on the events of World War II, which is also known as the Great Patriotic War. These films are repeated each year but the audience seems to never grow tired of them:))

Background Victory Day (День Победы - DyEn` PabyEdy) marks Germany’s surrender to the Soviet Union in 1945. It became the end of the Great Patriotic War for the USSR, which lost about 25 million citizens in the four years of fighting. Interestingly, until its 20th anniversary (May 9, 1965), Victory Day was not a major holiday, unlike, for instance, May 1, and was considered a work day. Apart from the anniversaries in 1965 and 1985, Victory Day celebrations in the Soviet Union did not feature a military parade. This tradition started in 1995. Some snapshots of the main Parade in the Red Square from RT (Russia Today)

I think this is one of the most touching ( I can`t help crying when I listen to it) and popular songs about the Day of Victory. I want to share this song with you. It will help you to understand the atmosphere of the Day. Текст песни Лев Лещенко - День Победы День ПобЕды ! День ПобЕды, как он был от нас далЁк, Как в кострЕ потУхшем тАял уголЁк. БЫли вЁрсты, обгорЕлые, в пылИ, - Этот день мы приближАли как моглИ. Этот День ПобЕды ПОрохом пропАх, Это прАздник С сединОю на вискАх. Это рАдость Со слезАми на глазАх. День ПобЕды ! День ПобЕды !
