Many writers turn to the theme of war in their works. On the pages of stories, novels and essays, they preserve the memory of the great feat of Soviet soldiers, of the cost at which they won victory. For example, Sholokhov’s story “The Fate of a Man” introduces the reader to a simple driver - Andrei Sokolov. During the war, Sokolov lost his family. His wife and children died, his house was destroyed. However, he continued to fight. He was captured, but managed to escape. And after the war, he found the strength to adopt an orphaned boy, Vanyushka. “The Fate of Man” - work of art, but it is based on real events. I'm sure that similar stories over those four terrible years there were a lot. And literature allows us to understand the state of people who went through these tests in order to appreciate their feat even more.

Essay “Memory of the War” by a 7th grade student high school №7
Arbit Anna.
The war has passed
The suffering is over
But pain calls to people.
Come on people never
Let's not forget about this.

May 9... Victory Day is a holiday that has become a national holiday, because there is no family in our country that has not been touched with its black wing by the most terrible of wars - the Great Patriotic War! On this day to the sounds brass band those to whom we owe our lives and the peaceful sky above our heads will come out to the square in front of the monument. And then poems and songs will be sung in their honor. But, in my opinion, there are no words with which one can convey one’s gratitude to the old gray-haired warriors, for whom the war has become a new point of reference, against which they are accustomed to verify the meaning and price of their actions.
War means grief and tears. She knocked on every home and brought misfortune: mothers lost their sons, wives lost their husbands, children were left without fathers. Thousands of people went through the war, experienced terrible torment, but they survived and won. We won the most difficult of all wars. And the people who defended their Motherland in the hardest battles are still alive. The war emerges in their memory as the most terrible and sad memory. But it also reminds them of perseverance, courage, friendship and loyalty.
We are lucky, we live in a relatively peaceful time, and for this - a deep bow to all those who fought for the liberation of our country from the fascist invaders: in the rear and at the front, people did not spare their strength and lives, “everyone simply had a choice: I or Motherland." And people chose their homeland, so that their children and grandchildren would have a future, so that the Russian land would not disappear. Thanks to this true patriotism we are.
Many works, newspaper articles, and films have been produced about the terrible national misfortune. But the most vivid and truthful in my memory for the rest of my life will be the stories of eyewitnesses.
Many of the heroes, on whose shoulders the most difficult trials fell, belonged to the generation of those young people who went to the front, barely graduating from school. Young men and women, who only yesterday were making plans for their beginning lives, instead stepped towards danger and death, facing the inhuman and cruel forces of fascism.
A man lives in our city amazing fate. His name is Shulgin Vladimir Mikhailovich. In 1941, he voluntarily went to the front. Its part defended the famous Road of Life, which ran along the ice of Lake Ladoga. Food and weapons were transported along it to besieged Leningrad by car. It was very difficult for the fighters. It was impossible to leave the trench either day or night. They slept and ate at the post. Enemy air attacks provided no respite. One night a boy found himself in a trench, barely alive. The soldiers picked him up and fed him. Vladimir Mikhailovich accompanied him home, covering him during the bombing. As a souvenir, I gave him my belt and all the soldiers’ food rations, which were given only to soldiers. But they were fed no better than the blockade survivors, and they always went hungry.
One day, when the Nazis were especially fierce, the fire was heavy, and a shell hit the trench, in the place where Vladimir Mikhailovich was located. Everyone fell asleep, screams and moans were heard. Vladimir Mikhailovich came to his senses when a young, short nurse was dragging him across the field where they were shooting. She dragged me and persuaded me to be patient.
Vladimir Mikhailovich was wounded by many shrapnel. A military surgeon fought for a soldier’s life for a long time. Vladimir Mikhailovich survived, but his legs... they can barely move. Every step comes with pain. After the hospital he was demobilized. The medals “For Courage”, “For Military Merit”, “For the Defense of Leningrad” still shine on a soldier’s dress jacket. After the war, Vladimir Mikhailovich worked as a history teacher at a school in Kazakhstan. After the death of his wife, he, already old and sick, was taken in by his own sister, and now he lives here, in the city of Kirzhach. Vladimir Mikhailovich is amazingly kind and modest person. He doesn't like to talk a lot about himself, doesn't like to be the center of attention. He claims: “I didn’t do anything special, I just fought and defended my Motherland just like everyone else.” And awards speak of the soldier’s courage and valor.
The famous Admiral Ushakov once said about such defenders of the Motherland: “The native land can do anything: feed you with its bread, give you drink from its springs, surprise you with its beauty. But she can’t defend herself. Therefore protection native land- the duty of those who eat her bread, drink her water, admire her beauty. People are given honorary and respectful titles. The highest rank of all is Defender of the Motherland..."
People of the military generation ─ special people. From the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, they brought faith in the future and a willingness to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others into the difficult life of the country. The height of human achievement is determined by the power of love in life. The stronger this love, the more incomprehensible the dimension of the feat performed by a person for the sake of love for life. We will never forget those who died in the war, we will always remember those who sacrificed themselves to save and defend their Motherland.
Soon May 9th. This means that fireworks will sound over Red Square for the 65th time. For 65 years now, the Russian people have been celebrating a great holiday - Victory Day! It’s only a pity that there are fewer and fewer participants in the battles, veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Unfortunately, real heroes will soon pass away, who do not even consider themselves heroes, and, like Vasily Terkin, talk about their exploits somehow casually, by the way, they say, “everything has happened.” It’s scary to imagine what lies beneath this “stuff”! The death of comrades, the loss of loved ones as a result of bombing and captivity, the first shot at a person... And I want to say a huge thank you and bow to the ground to the people who gave us a chance to simply live. And I will take the liberty to say that many of us, young people, have not lost our love for the Motherland and are grateful to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. And I also want each of us to at least occasionally think about whether he is using this chance to the fullest, so that someday, looking back, look at the life he has lived and with a clear conscience tell you, the people who defended our Motherland, that everything you have done did not go to waste and will never be forgotten, because “there is a memory that will never end”!
And let the war alarm be silent,
Flowers bloom in my native land,
But the soldier will live forever,
That he died a brave death in battle.
He saved you and me
And to all of humanity,
Peace and happiness of peaceful days.
You stand up and bow to him.
And in this peaceful time of the century
I'm ready to ring that alarm:
“People, it’s vile to forget a person,
whose name is a Russian soldier!
The Great Patriotic War is a special stage in the history of our country. It is associated with both great pride and great sadness. Millions of people died in battles so that we could live. Not much time has passed since the shots stopped ringing, but we have already begun to forget about our exploits.
Someone might say, why remember the horrors? But this is our story. Remember the Great Patriotic War It is necessary at least in order not to make repeated mistakes. If there is an opportunity to get involved in a war, then past experience will tell you to stay away. There are no winners in war. She punishes everyone, and does it mercilessly.
In literature, writers often talked about war. I'll give two examples. The first example is Sholokhov’s story “The Fate of a Man.” Main character, Andrei Sokolov, courageously went to the front when the war began.
He fought for his homeland and defended his comrades. Returning home, he saw a destroyed house. Wife and children are dead. But Andrei did not become an alcoholic or despair. He decided to adopt a boy who had also lost his entire family. This story actually happened. Sholokhov personally communicated with the main character and could not ignore the story.
The second example talks about the heroism of women in war. This is Vasiliev’s story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet.” He reveals the story of five women and one foreman who were able to detain the enemy. There were few of them, they were not sufficiently prepared. But courage and determination did their job. Only the foreman survived and told the whole story. It has survived to this day.
Let's remember the war, whatever it may be.
This is our history, these are the exploits of our grandfathers.

Useful material on the topic
Historical memory is not only the past, but also the present and future of humanity. Memory is kept in books. The society referred to in the work has lost books, forgetting about the most important human values. People have become easy to manage. Man completely submitted to the state, because books did not teach him to think, analyze, criticize, rebel. The experience of previous generations has disappeared without a trace for most people. Guy Montag, who decided to go against the system and try to read books, became an enemy of the state, a prime candidate for destruction. Memory stored in books is a great value, the loss of which puts the entire society at risk.
A.P. Chekhov "Student"
Theological seminary student Ivan Velikopolsky tells unknown women an episode from the Gospel. It's about about the apostle Peter's denial of Jesus. The women react to what was told unexpectedly for the student: tears flow from their eyes. People cry about events that happened long before they were born. Ivan Velikopolsky understands: the past and the present are inextricably linked. The memory of the events of past years transports people to other eras, to other people, makes them empathize and have compassion for them.
A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter"
It is not always worth talking about memory on a historical scale. Pyotr Grinev remembered his father’s words about honor. In any life situation, he acted with dignity, enduring the trials of fate with courage. Memory of parents, military duty, high moral principles- all this predetermined the actions of the hero.
War is the most terrible, most terrible word that exists in the world. Just his pronunciation gives you goosebumps and makes you feel uneasy.
Wars claim thousands of lives. They destroy everything around. They bring hunger. Reading about past wars, we understand how much the people who stood for us to the death did for us. Nobody asked them if they wanted to fight. They were presented with a fact, forced. And, putting all their strength into it, they won.
There are very few veterans left these days. One day, the guys and I were lucky enough to visit a veteran. We went to see him as part of school curriculum. He was the only one left in our city.
It was a man. You can say - grandfather. He greeted us warmly and smiled. At that moment I almost burst into tears. And when he talked about the fact that he only has a sister who lives in another country and that his wife died several years ago, I couldn’t hold back. You know, this grandfather's standard of living is worse than many of us. And that's wrong. People who defended our present should live happily and not need anything. And our veteran doesn’t even have water in his house. He has to go to the well and collect it in buckets. Then drag it into the house.
No one can help an elderly person who needs help. Is this fair?
He told a lot of interesting and frightening things at the same time. You won't find this in history books. Arriving home, each of us was impressed. We took a different look at the war, at the people who went through it. And that's what I want to say. We must remember and honor all those who had to find out what it is. We must give them our respect. We must help and say thank you every day for the fact that we have a future. That we see a blue sky above our heads, and not black from smoke.
The memory of accomplished feats should always live. People simply have to carry it through generations without missing anything. After all, every word, every action is incredibly important. Their courage is worthy of perpetuation. Memorable places should not be forgotten!
We must remember all the heroes who saved us. Our country. Our lives.
Essay 2
Who among the people does not shudder when they hear the word “war”? It was not for nothing that my grandmother agreed to everything - as long as there was no war, about which she learned a lot from her grandmother’s stories. Any war, even a modern one, with its “targeted” strikes, means suffering, blood and death. What can we say about our most terrible pain and greatest joy - the Great Patriotic War. Victory certainly brought joy. But we still had to live to see it, both at the front and in the rear. Sweat, blood, death and hope - this is the quintessence of war.
My great-great-grandfather went to the front with the Moscow militia and went missing near Vyazma. As I just found out, he had “armor” - that’s what they call a reprieve from military service. Yakov Emelyanovich was a professional baker and was needed in the rear, but he took off this “armor” and went to the front. Poorly armed and inept militias died, but detained the Germans rushing to Moscow. At the cost of their lives and the many years of suffering of their relatives. His wife Anna Ivanovna had been waiting for him for twenty-five years. She hoped that he was not killed, but in captivity or in an invalid's home. She hoped, waited and raised five children. I waited and hoped.
We must bow from the waist to the people who invented and organized the action “ Immortal Regiment" This is a real memory of the war, and not an overly cheerful propaganda imitation of it. I, with my whole family and a portrait of my great-great-grandfather, took part in the march of a small part of this “regiment” twice on May 9th. I saw sincere sadness and interest of people carrying portraits of their front-line relatives. They remember them. They remember their feat, are sad and at the same time filled with pride for them - the defenders of their Fatherland. As long as the idea and practice of this popular movement is alive, the memory of the war will be alive.
Calls are often made to stop bringing up the past and think only about today. They say that soon there will be no one left alive, even those born during the war, and not just those who went through it. But the memory of the war is also needed because it is not necessary for the dead, it is needed for the living. So that someone would not be able to try again to realize their crazy ideas by starting a global war.
Memory of the war (3rd option)
Any event is somehow preserved in the memory of many people, leaving a peculiar trace in it, which consists of images, approximate outlines, and of course the feelings that a person experienced during that event. The memory of this event can be passed down from generation to generation, or it can simply remain forgotten and useless information, but this does not always happen, as, for example, happens with bad memories, and, unfortunately, bad things are remembered much better than anything else. more.
Any war will serve as an example. War in itself is a terrible event, which always leads to a chain of enormous death, destruction, and grief. War is an event that is forever reflected in the minds of many generations, since the memory of the war also carries a guiding message. After all, if a person remembers the war, remembers the horrors it brought to a peaceful land, then he will try to never allow war to happen again, and will do everything so that war does not exist anymore, this is the advantage of remembering terrible events - they force remember that this should never be repeated.
War also affects many other things, not just the people themselves. War is a process engulfed in horror, a process that will forever leave a mark on the land, which unfortunately witnessed bloodshed. On this land there will forever remain a war monument, mass graves, bomb craters, torn out patches of earth from explosions. Nothing can erase this event from history. But this is not bad, because the next generations will remember this, remember the exploits that were performed before them, this will motivate them to go further, create a world where there is no more war and pain, where there is no cruelty, and where there is no bloodshed, they will create better world, remembering the old terrible thing.
In conclusion, we can say that any memory is important. Any memory, any event that, one way or another, left its mark on history has enormous value, but the most valuable memories in world culture will be memories of wars. Because war is the most terrible thing invented by man. Memories of those horrors that we must try not to repeat again. And therefore, the next generations will remember those who had the opportunity to participate in the war, those who learned from their own experience all its horrors and disgusting things that happened at that undoubtedly terrible time.
