This is a line from a Mikhail Nozhkin’s poem that became the keynote of a contest of reciters in Leskhoz secondary school (Arsk district) devoted to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory and the Year of Literature announced in the Russian Federation. Pupils of forms 5-7 could persuasively communicate suffering and happiness, hate and joy of the victory reflected in poems written by poets of Russia and Tatarstan. The best reciters were awarded with Certificates of school administration.
