Five very different but complementary reflections on and reminiscences of Victory Day by Yan Shenkman, George Losev, Vyacheslav Dolinin, Ivan Ovsyannikov and Vladimir Golbraikh. Yan Shenkman: "I have seen many times how good deeds were done by the wrong people. A person who does not love the motherland can put out a fire. A man who beats his wife will save someone else’s child. And so on. On the one hand, he saved the child, and on the other hand he has beaten his wife again. What conclusions should we draw from this? None. It doesn’t change anything. Saving children is still the right thing to do, but beating your wife is not. One does not negate the other. [...] People are different. What matters is not what they are, but what they do. Seventy-six years ago, they saved the world. And what happened to them afterwards is up to the people they saved, it is our choice." https://therussianreader.com/2021/05/09/victory-day-3/ <https://o.ello.co/https://therussianreader.com/2021/05/09/victory-day-3/>
