SEVENTY-TWO YEARS AGO…


June 22nd, 1941. On this day of unspeakable tragedy that forever changed the lives of every Russian, and of the generations to follow, Hitler invaded Russia…

An ungrateful Europe, whose freedom from Nazism was purchased with Russian blood, may not remember, or bother to celebrate, the 9th of May (1945), as Victory Day, and is even less mindful of the significance of today’s date, as if it were only for the Russians to observe.

Too bad! For, seventy-two years ago on this day Hitler lost World War II…
