From memories ... I met Victory Day THREE TIMES: ... On MAY 9 in Transcarpathia we were announced the end of the war. We came out of the trenches, rejoiced, but then they fired on from mortars from the Carpathian Mountains. We are back in the trenches. Our artillery rescued ... ... On May 20, the Germans, who did not obey the order of surrender on May 9, surrendered ... That was a real Victory Day! ... I met the third Victory Day on September 2, 1945 in Harbin. For this war, we were awarded the medal "For Victory over Japan" ... The war ended and we were glad that we survived!
