“Monument to an Unknown Soldier” essay


The Great Patriotic War – how much suffering and grief she brought to our people. She did not bypass our places. Somewhere here, not far away, as well as everywhere in that harsh time, fierce battles were going on: tanks were buzzing, exploded echelons were flying down the slope, padded planes were falling and exploding, soldiers were defending – defenders of our Motherland. They were from different parts of the former Soviet Union, perhaps these people did not even know about the existence of our region before the war. But they did not divide the land of a huge country into their own and others’, because they fought here – far from the places where they were born. Many of them never returned to their native land, to their families, but remained forever in our land.
But they have not been forgotten.
After the war, search teams were created that collected the remains of the deceased heroes and buried them in one common mass grave. Later on such graves were erected monuments to the Unknown Soldier, the Eternal Fire was lit. Such a monument is also in our places, the names of our compatriots who died in that war are immortalized on it. And it is not necessary that their bodies rest under this obelisk, perhaps their remains lie in another mass grave, which in Eastern Europe is countless, and these places are sacred to our people.
None of these graves are abandoned and forgotten – they still contain live flowers, rallies are held. And we must remember the great feat of the Soviet soldier committed for the sake of today’s peaceful sky and honor the memory of the dead heroes. Perhaps, in this mass grave there are no relatives, but we should not divide them into our own and others ‘: they did not divide their homeland into their own and others’.
