Russian soldiers wearing WWII-era uniforms march in Red Square during the Victory Day military parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Nazi defeat in WWII in Moscow
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin paid tribute to the Red Army’s defeat of Nazi Germany yesterday at a delayed Victory Day parade.
Each year Russia holds a parade in Moscow’s Red Square on May 9, the date in 1945 on which Germany surrendered to the Soviet Union, but this year the event was postponed because of the coronavirus lockdown.
It was held instead on the 75th anniversary of 1945’s original victory parade of Red Army units returning from the liberation of Europe from fascism.
