⭐️ Every year, on May 9, we mark the triumph of the Soviet people over Nazism in the #GreatPatrioticWar and #WWII. Victory Parades, pinnacle event of the celebrations, are held across the country, with the main parade taking place in Moscow. The sacred memory brings our nation together when we pay tribute to all those who saved the world from the Nazis.
The solemn and spectacular event comprises thousands of Russian servicemen marching through the Red Square and hundreds of military vehicle units rumbling through Moscow.
On November 7, 1941, during the Great Patriotic War, a military parade of historical significance was held on the Red Square. In time of the enemy's full-scale invasion it had a tremendous impact on morale throughout the Soviet Union. Soldiers who participated in the march went to the battle front the very next day to defend the Motherland from Nazi Germany.
The very first Victory Parade took place on June 24, 1945, in which the Soviet soldiers threw the Nazi banners at the feet of the Mausoleum. The next three parades in Moscow took place on jubilee years — 1965, 1985 and 1990. Since 1995 the landmark event has been held annually (even in 2020 during the most dire times of the COVID-19 pandemic).
On May 9, 2023, we gathered once again on the Red Square to honour the veterans and all those who perished during the Great Patriotic War saving our country and liberating Europe from the Nazis. We will keep the Memory alive and carry it through the years.
