St. George ribbon on May 9 — Why? For what? And why?

The trend for this acces­so­ry appeared rel­a­tive­ly recent­ly, in 2005. Then the media were invit­ed to dis­trib­ute sym­bol­ic rib­bons in hon­or of the cel­e­bra­tion of Vic­to­ry Day in the Great Patri­ot­ic War. Since then, the action has become a tra­di­tion. But the St. George Rib­bon itself appeared in the days of the Russ­ian Empire. Simul­ta­ne­ous­ly with the Order of St. George, which was the high­est mil­i­tary award.

The col­ors on the mod­ern rib­bon cor­re­spond to the col­ors used on the order block for the medal “For the Vic­to­ry over Ger­many in the Great Patri­ot­ic War of 1941–1945.”

The pur­pose of wear­ing the St. George rib­bon on the chest on the left is mem­o­ry. And to be more pre­cise, the desire of the cur­rent gen­er­a­tion not to let the new gen­er­a­tion for­get about those heroes who, at the cost of their lives, won a vic­to­ry in a ter­ri­ble war.

Wear­ing a St. George rib­bon on your chest is the eas­i­est way to declare that: “We remem­ber! We are proud!”

Now there are many dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions of acces­sories with St. George’s rib­bon. We offer met­al badges with a bright design, which are con­ve­nient­ly attached to clothes along with the St. George rib­bon.

Let’s sup­port the heroes of the Great Patri­ot­ic War in mem­o­ry of them. “We are the heirs of the Great Vic­to­ry!”
