| Playlist: www.youtube.com Glory to the Soviet Heroes, who defeated fascism and liberated the World! WE WILL NEVER FORGET! Russia is marking Victory Day - 66 years since Nazi Germany was defeated in World War II. Events of commemoration and celebration are taking place across the country, including a traditional grand military parade on Red Square. The Moscow parade comes as largest-scale in Russian modern history, with a march of about 20000 troops. The grand event was preceded by three night parade rehearsals and also a general rehearsal on Red Square. The parade, which started at 10am Moscow time on Monday, consisted of marches, demonstration of armory and planes. Heavy military vehicles were wearing special tracks not to damage the cobblestones of Red Square. About 100 military parades are being held all across Russia on Monday to honor the anniversary of the great victory over Nazi Germany. While in some cities parades are currently in full swing, in others they have already subsided. In the Siberian city of Novosibirsk over 1500 troops marched across the city, followed by a demonstration of military vehicles, both modern and those used to fight the enemy in the Great Patriotic War. In Vladivostok, over 1000 troops, including navy cadets, marched on the city's embankment. There was also demonstration of Russian Pacific Fleet armory. |
