The aims of our work are:• to immortalize the 70th anniversary of the great

Victory.• to break the new stereotype that the USSR

started the Second World War.• to remind the world about inhuman fascists’ acts

to prevent people from repeating them.• to remind teenagers about the great value of

veterans.

Fascism was born in Italy at the beginning of the 20th century. The main ideas of Italian fascism were written in the book “Fascism Doctrine”. The doctrine denied

endless peace as something great and essential. Fascists said that people and humanity could not live without wars. Moreover, Italy was the mother of German

Nazism.

Nowadays many young people think that it is

popular to act like fascists. They do not understand

how cruel and insane those people were. Without

knowing the history and its consequences these kids and

adults talk about the benefits of being a fascist.

«It is unbelievable how fast Europe, where fascism was born and was destroyed only with the help of the USSR, got blind again. It seems that they are ill with

the plague again. The fascist plague», Alexandr Lykashenko says.

In January the main commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the camp Auschwitz

was held in Poland. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin was not invited to the commemoration due to some

foreign leaders’ belief that it was not right to invite the person whose country started the war.

«Soviet troops liberated us when there was no hope and light in our lives anymore.»

«I was one of the lucky ones, who survived when so many didn’t. I live because of the USSR.»

“There are still a lot of Holocaust deniers, the world

over, and if we don't speak out, the world won't know what

happened. Why did everyone forget the bravest people from the Soviet units who had given

us life?”

“Of course, I heard that outrageous point of view that the USSR started the Second World War. It is the most unfair and wildest thing which I have ever heard in my life! What will be with our future if we don’t

remember the past, the great people and the unbelievable honor, bravery and heroism of the Soviet army? We, survivors, do not want our past to

be our children's future”, Elias Gottesman says.

The USSR had partners but they helped to defeat the fascists

not from the first days but almost at the end of the war.

Great Britain and the USA did not want to have battles in their

countries that is why they invested much money to the weapons, provisions for the

soldiers.
