Primorsky Krai was one of the first in the country meets the Heroes of the Fatherland Day. In the Central square of the city at the stele “Vladivostok — city of military glory” on 9 December was attended by veterans, representatives of regional and city authorities, school children and students. They honored the memory of fallen heroes with a moment of silence, let white balloons into the sky, laid a wreath and flowers. All this in order to pay tribute to ancestors who are no longer with us. But this holiday,
the Heroes of the Fatherland Day, approved and in order to honor the living. Such in Vladivostok. One of them was 93-year-old veteran of the great Patriotic war Isaac landsman, past the battle of Kursk. The tradition of honoring soldiers who received the highest award — the Order of St. George — is rooted in the 18th century, during the reign of Empress Catherine II. Awarded the order of the warriors, shown in battle prowess and courage. Now memorial day is celebrated on 9 December. It was installed by the state Duma 11 years ago. Since then, every year on this day honoring the Heroes of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation, members of the order of St. George and order of Glory.
