Sergey Aksyonov: «Partisans and underground members made a huge contribution to the liberation of Crimea»

Commentary of the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov in connection with the day of partisans and underground.

The front in the rear of the enemy. On this front, men and women, adolescents and children fought. People of different nationalities and professions, united by love for their homeland, hatred of the Nazis and faith in victory. Folk Avengers who defend the Fatherland.

Today is the day of the partisans and underground.

Crimean partisans and underground members made a huge contribution to the liberation of our peninsula. In the fall of 1941, thousands of our fellow countrymen went to the Crimean forests. Despite all the hardships, often behind the facet of human capabilities, they bravely fought with the invaders.

Partisan Maria Leonidovna Kharchenko recalled: “Hunger tied us on hand and feet. The Germans took into account this, but did not take into account the fact that patriotism held us. We believed that we would win! «

The exploits of our heroes will forever remain an example of courage, strength of spirit, stamina and selflessness. Eternal glory and eternal memory! — says in the commentary of the head of Crimea.
