Yesterday was May 9
May 9 is The Victory Day: the end of The Great Patriotic War (that part of WW II which took place on the Soviet lands)
This Day became really important for me in recent years. It is the day when I feel all the people are my family.
Yesterday I had been translating many posts by skaters.
I like that this year Yagudin's post is a response to Tarasova's post.
t.a.tarasova: In the end of the day I'd like to post this picture. A few years ago. May 9. The Parade. I believe we'll have again our parades and The Immortal Regiment will pass along Moscow streets. I thank you for the warm words, for the congratulations. I thank all our moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas for the Victory. Congratulations! Hurray!

as for Yagudin's family, I know only a video on which he tells about his grandma:
"My grandma was in Leningrad during the Siege. Once all the family went to get bread, they went by tramway. And in the tram a friendly man stepped up to them, he talked to them, he was joking... my grandma says she remembers how he caressed her head, he said: "Such a nice beautiful girl!" That's all, he left the tram after a few stations. While this man was talking, he stole all the cards for food. So all the family had nothing to eat. Three members of the family died. Out of four. My grandma stayed alone, she was a little girl, she was taken to an orphanage."

This year Tarasova was telling about her family members who participated in WW II and some other skaters were telling about theirs. You can see those posts by the link (many posts, scroll down):
