On May 9, Crimean rescuers put copies of the Victory flag on the six main peaks of the peninsula.
“Despite the difficult weather conditions, rescuers once again hoisted red flags on the tines of Ai-Petri at an altitude of 1234 meters, as well as on the peaks of the mountains Echki-Dag, Sokol, Sablu-Kaya, Ak-Kaya (White Rock) and Chatyr- Dag, - said the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic Sergey Shakhov.
“And although the opening of the tourist season 2020 is postponed due to the coronavirus, it will also be held in the shadow of the flags that are sacred to the Russians.”
The tradition of installing the Victory flag in the mountains - a copy of the assault flag of the 150th Order of Kutuzov of II degree of the Idritskaya Infantry Division - arose more than 30 years ago in memory of the beautiful and bold act of the Crimean partisans. Local residents say that they once raised a red flag on Ai-Petri, and the Nazis, not being able to take it off, simply were shooting in it.
According to Shakhov, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the Victory, employees of the Crimean Ministry of Emergency Situations repaired more than 40 memorial sites of the Great Patriotic War in the Simferopol, Belogorsk, Bakhchisarai, Leninsky, Krasnoperekopsky, Sovietsky, Razdolnensky, Nizhnegorsk, Kirov and Black Sea regions and Theodosia.
Some monuments are located in inaccessible mountainous places, such as the grave of partisan Globin on the Burma Range, monuments to soldiers who died during the landing of the Sudak assault, on Mount Karsheaters and Kapsel Bay, monuments to the dead partisans in the tract Ai-Valyk and young partisans of the Old Crimea on Mount Burus.
