The Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) - the war between the USSR, Germany and its allies in the framework of the Second World War on the territory of the USSR and Germany. Germany attacked the USSR on June 22, 1941 with the expectation of a short military campaign, but the war dragged on for several years and ended in the complete defeat of Germany. The main reason for the outbreak of World War II was the expansionism of the Third Reich and its desire for world domination. Hitler has repeatedly stated that his main opponent is the Soviet Union. The Great Patriotic War ended in the complete defeat of Germany and its allies. The USSR not only defended its independence, but also liberated the countries of Eastern and Central Europe from Nazism.
But the victory to the Soviet people went very hard. Over 27 million people died, thousands of cities and tens of thousands of villages were destroyed. Most of the infrastructure in the territories captured by the Germans was destroyed: enterprises, bridges, railways. Severe losses were suffered by agriculture, especially livestock. The Soviet Union lost over 30% of its national wealth.
When I was young I used to love 1)visiting my grandparents at their cottage by the sea. I couldn''t 2.wait for the school year to end. My father would 3.drive me to the cottage, where I loved 4staying for the whole summer. I looked forward to 5going fishing with my grandfather. Most days we managed 6to catch a lot of fish but we would 7throw them all back into the water. Then we would 8swim in the clear blue sea. My grandmother loved 9cooking for us. I remember 10baking chocolate chip biscuit with her.She always let me 11eat a biscuit as soon as they came out of the ove. I can still 12taste them now, melting in my mouth! I''ll never forget 13spending those wonderful summers with my grandparents. I will always 14.keep the memory of them close to my heart.
