⭐️ 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.

🎥 The Young Guard was the most famous underground organisation of the #GreatPatrioticWar.
The group operated in Krasnodon (Donbass) and included 71 people. The average age of the participants was 16-18 years, and the youngest was only 14.
💬 I swear to avenge mercilessly the cities and villages that were burned down, our people’s blood — an oath pronounced by its members upon joining the underwound organisation.
The #YoungGuard freed Soviet prisoners of war, and saved thousands from being taken away to Nazi Germany. During one such operation they destroyed the “black exchange,” an occupation office that stored documents listing over 2,000 citizens of Krasnodon who were intended for deportation to Germany.
🕯 After the Germans exposed the Young Guard and arrested all its members, the captives refused to cooperate with the enemy despite inhuman torture methods used by the Nazis. They perished without giving out any information on the underground or other local partisan units.
⭐️ There were a great many such examples of courage and unbending will of Soviet citizens during the war. Thanks in part to their efforts, the enemy was expelled from our Motherland, and soon after defeated in its lair.
