In 2009, UNESCO included October 22 – the White Crane Festival – in the international list of memorable events. It is a celebration of solidarity and poetic song about fallen soldiers around the world. The meaning of this memorable date became a celebration of the memory of departed soldiers during various wars around the world, which, unfortunately, continue to this day.
The poet Rasul Gamzatov suggested celebrating the White Crane Holiday. The impetus for writing the poem was a sad event that occurred in Japan, which the poet visited.
In August 1945, hundreds of thousands of people were injured by the explosion of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. One little girl, who was only 8 years old, named Sadako Sasaki, became a victim of radiation sickness. According to Japanese tradition, if a sick person makes a thousand origami cranes, he will recover. Sadako tried her best to make a thousand paper cranes, but only managed to make 644.
This story struck the poet to the core, and he wrote the poem “White Cranes”.
Initially, this day was celebrated only in Dagestan, but very soon many cities and not only our vast Motherland took up the baton.
Why is the crane the symbol of this poetic holiday? In many cultures, the white crane is the personification of spirituality, peace, light and warmth. In Japan it is the personification of longevity, in China it is a symbol of immortality, in Christianity it is decency and patience, among African peoples it is a messenger of the gods. In the Caucasus they say that the souls of soldiers killed in battle turn into snow-white cranes and rise up. In many cultures, the crane is a mediator between the worlds of people and gods. It is a bright sign of liberation and immortality, symbolizing peace and prosperity.

Peace to the world!
On the table, from a checkered piece of paper
A girl collects a crane.
This seems to be the six hundredth
And all that's left for her to do is
Four hundred, and everything comes true!
There will be happiness, friends and health.
Only suddenly the dream breaks,
Like a wave on a stone, on a tombstone.
Life is cruel, maybe like a factory,
And it is ruled by a military idol...
Six hundred forty-four cranes
Shocked the entire sublunary world.
This death seems to be unimportant,
But look at the foot of the monument,
There they spread their paper wings
Already six thousand and four cranes.
I stained my finger with yellow paint,
A boy draws a sun in a notebook.
Sun, house and colored stairs.
Yes, the same one from the children's song.
This boy could maybe
Become a famous artist
Only urgent duty calls
To die for the fatherland in battle.
Yesterday - boys, today - soldiers.
And at just eighteen years old
Guys are dying from bullets
An actor, engineer and poet dies.
That's why we constantly ask
So that there is no war in the world.
“Peace to the world,” whisper the ears of corn in the field.
We don't need ruin!"
"Peace to the world!" - the children exclaim.
"Peace to the world!" - the grass rustles.
"Peace to the world!" - suddenly the wind picks up
And carries words across the Earth.
"Peace to the world!" - the forests echo the wind.
And billions of sun balls,
Billions of white cranes
The dream flies to the skies.
