We used to celebrate birthdays of our family members and Soviet Holidays - 1st May, 7th November [October Revolution Day] [45], Soviet Army Day [46], New Year's Eve, but the most festive occasion for us was 9th May, Victory Day [47]. The whole family goes to the Grave of Unknown Soldier, where we meet with front-line soldiers. My grandson has attended since the age of three. The rest of the holidays were just mere days-off - an occasion to get together with friends and have fun. We danced, sang, and enjoyed having a chat with dear people. Neither Elena nor I thought of the gist of the holiday.
