The campaign "Hooray Victory!" has started in Russia.

The "Hooray Victory!" campaign, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, has started in Russia. The largest mobile communication operators traditionally participate in the project. Anton Nikolaev learned about the opportunities they provide. As part of the multimedia project, anyone can join the campaign by calling the toll-free number 1945 and listen to the daily briefings of Sovinformburo for the corresponding day. For example, on February 25, 1945, Levitan reported the following: Soviet troops captured 15 settlements on the Baltic coast, fierce battles for the capture of Königsberg continued, and Soviet troops entered the German city of Breslau. Additionally, anyone interested can set famous war songs as their ringtone on their phone. "Such as "Katyusha," "Blue Scarf," "Dark Night," "We Need One Victory," "Farewell of Slavianka." These melodies can be set as a ringtone on the phone or replace the default ringtone with them," says Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media of the Russian Federation Bella Cherkessova. "Farewell of Slavianka" is a march composed by Vasily Agapkin in 1912, inspired by the First Balkan War against the Ottoman Empire. In the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, especially after the release of the film "The Cranes Are Flying," and in modern Russia, this song is a hymn for soldiers going to war to defend the Motherland. Another beloved song of the war years is "Dark Night." It was written specifically for the film "Two Soldiers," which was released in 1943. The legendary "Katyusha" and "Smuglyanka" were also popular, accompanying not only the "old men" into battle. And the symbol of the Great Patriotic War became the song "We Need One Victory," written by Okudzhava in 1970. It captures the drama of the war's difficult beginning and its triumphant, victorious conclusion. "Like everyone else, my grandfather fought and gave his life. And this is my pride, the realization of victory, I understand how much he strived for it. For me, victory means that it is very important from the perspective of preserving historical memory. Therefore, for me, "We Need One Victory" is a symbolic song," comments the head of the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of the Russian Federation, Elena Malyshova. Even Suvorov said that a song doubles or triples the army. The "Hooray Victory" campaign is a unique cultural and informational mobilization of the entire society.
