Appendix # 1   Minute of Silence – adapted English version

Let us remember! Three years, ten months and eighteen days, twenty six million four hundred and fifty-four thousand lives took away the Great Patriotic War.

By the light of our gratifying memory, by the light of our sorrow let the names of fallen soldiers will be light up.

Let us remember about villages that were completely burnt down, about settlements that were wiped off the face of the earth. Let us remember about hundreds of towns that were destroyed but were not subjugated. About every street let us remember, about every house!

Eternal memory to victims of Great Patriotic War! Eternal glory to heroes that fell in battle for freedom and independence of our Motherland!

We bend our heads before the sacred memory of those who never came back from that War: Sons. Daughters. Fathers. Mothers. Grandfathers. Husbands. Wives. Brothers. Sisters. Comrades. Relatives. Friends.

Here comes the Minute of Silence!
