Today for the South Ossetian people is a memory of unparalleled heroism and the price of Victory, - said President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov, speaking at the Victory Parade, which is taking place on the theater square of Tskhinval.

"The contribution of South Ossetia to the overall victory is incomparable with the size of the country. We have lost more lives of our soldiers than a whole number of far abroad states taken together, claiming the historical significance of their role in the victory over Nazi Germany," he said.

According to the President, the sons of Ossetia showed examples of truly mass heroism on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War.

"They crushed the enemy, not sparing for the victory of their lives. From South Ossetia, which suffered huge human losses from the genocide of 1920, about 22,000 soldiers went to the front - almost the entire adult population. Of this number, only about 3,000 returned home. Let us think about these numbers. ", - Anatoly Bibilov emphasized and turned to fellow citizens to honor the fallen heroes with a minute of silence.

Over the decades that have passed since the memorable 1945, the head of state continued, tremendous changes had taken place in the world. Life in South Ossetia has also changed crucially.

"But the memory of that war continues to live in the minds of people. In many families, from generation to generation, the stories of the great-grandfathers, front-line soldiers, are passed on, how sacred relics are cherished by front letters, photographs and military awards," he said.

From this unfading memory, the head of state said, a new tradition was born - the "Immortal Regiment" action.

"The endless ranks of the Immortal Regiment are our testimony to the fact that new generations of the victorious people will not allow anyone to erase and nullify the results of the Great Patriotic War.

We are infinitely grateful to those who won the Great Victory, to everyone to whom today's holiday is dedicated. Honor and glory to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War! I wish them good health, longevity and prosperity!

The grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the heroes who won the victory over Nazi Germany proved that they adequately continue the traditions of courage and love for the Motherland, that they have mastered the science of winning well. Among them are brothers in arms, participants in today's military parade - soldiers of South Ossetia and soldiers of Russia! The Motherland is rightfully proud of its defenders! ", - said the President.

Anatoly Bibilov said that peace is the greatest value, "and our peoples, who have endured the horror and burden of so many wars, know that there is no greater happiness than a peaceful life."

"But if someone wants to rekindle the fire of war, let them know that any armed aggression, any encroachment on the peaceful life of the country will be given a worthy rebuff, and the future of South Ossetia - together with Russia - will be peaceful, successful and happy", - said the head of the Republic.

On Sunday, the Victory Parade took place on the theater square of Tskhinval.
