Rezinov shared, "Year after year, we gather in Stepanovka to honor our veterans and commemorate their sacrifices in the name of victory. This day is not just about remembering the past; it's about acknowledging and cherishing our history, particularly as we celebrate this significant milestone."
A Smorgasbord of Fun

- Battlefield Kitchen: Step right up and indulge in classic soldier's porridge, served hot and hearty for all to enjoy.
- Children's Zone: Little ones will have a ball with interactive games and entertaining, war-themed activities, like trying on gas masks and handling replicas of wartime weapons.
A Special Connection
For Valeria Zinina, a Stepanovka resident, the Day of Victory isn't just another holiday—it's a family tradition. "My parents fought in the war, Dad survived the Finnish campaign and was stationed in Grodno before the war began. He spent time as a prisoner of war, but he eventually made it all the way to Berlin. He received two orders of distinction and lived well into his 80s. So, for us, this day is deeply personal."
Closing the Celebration
As the sun sets on this special day, the choral group "Fialka," composed of local pensioners, will bring the celebration to a close with a powerful rendition of the Day of Victory song, joined by guests from all corners of the microdistrict. Don't miss this momentous occasion—join us in Stepanovka on May 9th as we herald the spirit of unity, courage, and victory!
