Great Songs of the Great Victory Marathon

Dear friends,

The coronavirus pandemic that has swept the whole world has influenced the possibility of holding events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory over fascism. They will undoubtedly take place, but a little later. But nothing can prevent us from uniting today to congratulate dear veterans, remember all those who fell in World War II - giving their lives for you and me.

Most of us know about that war from the stories of veterans, books of recollections, and feature films. But nothing conveys the atmosphere of those days better than songs. Victory Day, Katyusha, Dark Night, Cranes, and dozens of other songs about the war are loved around the world and are translated and performed in many languages.

In the year of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in World War II, we are launching an international musical event #ПесниВеликойПобеды  #GreatVictorySongs.

Both professional musicians and amateurs from different countries and continents will perform famous songs and music from the Soviet Union, associated with the Victory in War World II - in their national languages or in Russian - as well as songs related to this victory from their own countries. 

Everyone can take part in this initiative by recording their performance on video (with a smartphone or camera). You can record a joint performance of songs in self-isolation mode, and in the case, restrictive measures are removed, record a video near a memorial place or monument related to the history of World War II.
