\"Unknown<\/a>9th of May has traditionally been celebrated in Russia as Victory Day, marking the end of The Great Patriotic War and WWII. For all who were brought up in the USSR, this day brings back distinctive memories. It\u00a0 used to\u00a0 be\u00a0\u00a0 marked with a truly public celebration, when both\u00a0 the old and\u00a0 the young join together in special street processions to honour veterans and in remembrance for all those who fought in the War. You become part of the\u00a0 crowd following a military band, carrying banners and waving\u00a0 flags, sharing emotions with\u00a0 veterans. The\u00a0 latter, fully dressed in their\u00a0 parade military\u00a0 uniforms,\u00a0 decorated with St. George ribbons and holding red carnations\u00a0 in\u00a0\u00a0 their\u00a0 hands, either\u00a0 march with the orchestra or watch\u00a0 the\u00a0 parade standing on\u00a0 the tribunes. They are\u00a0 greeted with flowers, handshakes, smiles, kisses and sometimes even tears by children and adults.<\/div>\n
This year we will be celebrating 68th anniversary of Victory Day. There\u00a0 are very few surviving\u00a0 veterans left, but they are always with us, whilst their memories are alive. The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society is holding an evening of Memories to honour\u00a0 veterans,\u00a0 their family members and friends who\u00a0 fought in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. We invite you to share your stories with us during this evening in remembrance for those who are not with us any longer.<\/div>\n
Come and join us for this special evening with music, informal talks, wine and nibbles.<\/div>\n
There will also be a special exhibition display of wartime drawings ART AT THE FRONT created by professional artists-soldiers. These original personal encounters are of unique historic and artistic value and will be shown for the first time outside Russia. www.wartimeart.com<\/a><\/div>\n
Please let us know if you wish to deliver a short talk, or just share photographs of the family members and\/or friends that you would like to remember on the day. Please email us at camruss@camruss.com<\/a> with your suggestions.<\/div>\n

<\/strong>\u201cART AT THE FRONT\u201d – an exhibition of wartime drawings, created by Russian artists-soldiers, who crossed Europe from Russia to Berlin with a rifle, a pencil and a sketchbook . The exhibition draws on a collection of drawings and watercolours from the family archives of the artists, which will be on show for the first time in the UK. <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
These individual visual recordings made during the most intense and tragic times are of special historical and artistic value. Some portraits, made at immense speed during rare moments of calm between the battles, represent the last living records of those who never made it home.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
There are very few surviving witnesses of those days and their visual records become increasingly precious for us, our children and generations to come. It is an important part of our history and heritage, which carries a message of eternal wisdom to humanity: do not let such disasters happen again; try to avoid conflicts, impacting the lives of others; actively seek understanding and foster mutual respect and peace between people and nations.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
The exhibition “Art at the Front” will continue in Jesus College Chapel from 10th until 20th May. Please view the exhibition leaflet by clicking\u00a0this link.<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
