The angles of the victory parade in moscow, on the ground, in the air, this did not happen, the last 3 years, when flights on victory day were canceled, in the stands, where there are no random people next to the veterans, all the republics of the former soviet union practically fought the nazis oneonone, while almost the entire wehrmacht worked for military power. Europe. As always, very important details from pavel zarubin. Alexander grigorievich, did you like the parade . Very worthy. And our correspondent, ainur valiakhmetov, as part of the parade squad, drove along red square. Now the main difficulty is to walk perfectly smoothly through the narrow lanes of kremlinsky proezd. What do parade participants experience . We are driving a phoenix armored car. He is in the head group. Putins conversation with the participants of the northern military district about the situation at the front and the condition for the development of russia, subject to your successful work on the battlefield. Mikhail antonov, about how the germans, despite the german government, bow their heads to the exploits of the soviet people. Salemazariev about how the residents of ivangorod organized a holiday for the residents of neighboring estonia, where victory day is prohibited. Akhmat kadyrov is remembered in chechnya. He was a mentor, a teacher, a commander for me, he was everything to me, he led us onto a straight high road, exactly 20 years since the death, the same dynamo stadium where exactly 20 years ago the tragedy occurred, alexey baranov, who worked in those days in grozny, about how it changed republic, on our air and footage of the festive fireworks, everything is already ready for it, i heard them singing. Why . And this is a sign of joy, right after us the film the righteous by Sergei Ursulyak is a mustwatch. Comrades, jews, you were all gathered here together to lead through the german rear and lead you beyond the front line. So, russia today remembers and honors its heroes, those who defended the independence of our homeland. Victory in the great patriotic war became a turning point in the history of mankind and established our countrys status as a great powers. Vladimir putin spoke at the parade on red square that russia rejects anyones claims to exclusivity and will not allow anyone to threaten it. Report by alexey golovko. To line up such a mass of troops in a single order, even on the big red square, is already the pinnacle of ceremonial art, these are the last minutes when you can stand freely and correct something in a seemingly ideal form, the russian army is ready for a solemn procession, in the stands spectators, veterans, patriarch of moscow of all russia gather kirill, acting head of government mikhail mishustin, federal politicians, families of participants in the special operation, on the other hand. Both with the president of guinea bissau, whom he had not seen for a year, and with alexander lukashenko, with whom he spoke literally the day before. The leaders of kazakhstan, tajikistan, uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan, turkmenistan, cuba and laos also flew to the russian capital. They all walked together through the senate tower to the main podium, where veterans were waiting for the president s. Vladimir putin. This may 9th was the coldest in recent memory. A quarter of a century, and the exit of the banner group coincided with a heavy snowfall, and the uluz convertible of sergei shaigu, who was hosting the parade , toured the troops, the minister of defense congratulated the military personnel on the holiday. Congratulations on the seventyninth anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war hooray about the great sacrifice they made in the name of life. Revanchism, mockery of history, the desire to justify the current followers of the nazis, this is part of the general policy of western elites to incite more and more regional conflicts, interethnic and interreligious hostility, to contain sovereign, independent centers of world development. We reject the claim. Any state or alliance for exclusivity, we know what the exorbitance of such ambitions leads to. Russia will do everything to prevent a global conflict, but at the same time we will not allow anyone to threaten us. Our Strategic Forces are always on alert. May 9 is also a day of remembrance of millions of fellow citizens who gave their lives for the sake of victory; now they have to sacrifice themselves. On the fronts of special today we bow our heads to the blessed memory of all whose lives were taken by the military operation of the great patriotic war, to the memory of civilians who died from barbaric shelling and terrorist attacks by neonazis, to our comrades in arms who fell in the fight against neonazism in a righteous battle for russia. A minute of silence is announced. Victory in the great patriotic war without involvement changed the history of all mankind and the soviet people made a major contribution to the defeat of the forces of evil. Victory day unites all generations. We are going forward, relying on our centuriesold traditions and are confident that together we will ensure a free future for russia, our united people, glory to the valiant armed forces, for russia, for victory, hurray, hurray, hurray, hurray this year , about 900 people take part in the walking part of the parade, represented by the vseradovsk military school and, of course, female military personnel. The may 9 parade on victory day is a sacred tradition of our country. Whatever the weather, whatever the international situation. It was striking that almost the entire parade time Vladimir Putin continuously communicated with the veteran sitting next to him, this is yevgeny kuropatkov, a frontline sniper, a participant in the first parade in 1945, the hero was already 101 years old. They talked about previous meetings at military celebrations, the president said a special goodbye to the frontline soldier after the parade, he returned and even shook my hand, said, oh, come on, thank you. The president talked with alexandra aleshina, she is also a sniper and recently celebrated her centenary. Did the president manage to talk, and if so, what about . And you can talk about everything with him. I invited him to visit he said as soon as we end the war, then ill come. But the main attention is still paid to this parade squad in the field uniform of the active soldiers of the northern military district. We are living in a difficult, transitional period, we are celebrating victory day in the context of a special military operation, all its participants, those who are on the front line, on the line of combat contact, are our heroes, we bow to your steadfastness and selfsacrifice, dedication, all of russia is with you , together with veterans of different eras, everyone feels involved in the victories spectators of the parade, communication of pride for our. Country, for our guys who will now show the strength and power of our army and pride for those guys who are now at the forefront, now a historic moment has come, the president speaking, taking office, directly said, our main task is to ensure victory, to support those who are fighting, our rivals want to destroy russia, but they will not succeed, our people. He will win everything, he will win. As soon as the last soldier leaves the paving stones, a victory tank, the legendary thirty, rides out onto red square four. The mechanized part of the parade begins. This year there are about 70 pieces of equipment in the convoy, from Armored Vehicles to the yars strategic complex with an intercontinental ballistic missile. What does a person feel when riding an Armored Vehicle to the main road . No more than 8 km h, exactly along the yellow markings, perfect synchronization, literally wheel to wheel, the crews tension is increasing, now we are reaching the center of red square, i must say, the column has already stretched for several kilometers, we are driving a phoenix armored car, it is in lead group and takes part in paraz for the first time. There are over 70 cars in the convoy, phoenix rides with another new item in the parade with ambulances, a lens, a couple of minutes and. It has been decorating the victory celebration for many years now. Keeping the multirole air superiority fighter su30 cm, weighing 20 tons, almost twice as light as the mik29, in a single formation, wing to wing, is a daunting task. Especially with a strong crosswind and decent bumpiness, like today. But no one noticed anything from the ground below; the formation of nine aircraft looked monolithic, and yet the aerial part of the parade might not have taken place today, precisely because of the weather, but the critical minimum was overcome ; at 9 30 am the command to take off was sounded. One of the most important rituals in combat aviation before a flight. Pilots must inspect the aircraft, walk around it and touch all the main components with their hands. This hasnt happened for the last 3 years, when flights on victory day were cancelled, but finally we are seeing it again. They took off in threes and even fours. Two circles over the airfield to assemble the formation head straight for red square. When the reserve ones were returning to kubinka, the main ones. Were just flying over the center of moscow. Su25 attack aircraft painted the sky in the colors of the russian flag. The culmination of the parade. For several years now , pilots of the Aircraft Display Center have been taking portraits of their grandfathers and greatgrandfathers with them to the parade. This is my child, dmitry filippovich potapov, a veteran of the great patriotic war. Unfortunately, he did not live to see it in 1944; he died in the camp. Here is a photo of myself always on everyone. Red square can only accommodate 2,000 guests, but heavy equipment is of interest to everyone; the streets of moscow, as vitaly karmazin was convinced, have become stands for spectators. From red square to novinsky boulevard along the garden ring, here a column of equipment goes to taganskaya, and they also solemnly return to their places of deployment, as they just walked at the main parade of the country. And let the most crucial moment be behind them. Here the russian army appears in all its glory, with fighters everywhere. Shrute welcomes thousands of spectators, overwhelmed with emotions for the pride of our country, that we are a great country, if we unite, we can do anything. The mighty iskander m is the thunderstorm of russias enemies, enthusiastic children honk, the victorious tricolor flies in the sky, but most of all there is delight in the legendary t34. They dont just return to their places of deployment, they follow the path of military glory. In honor of the veterans who gave us a great victory and those who are now in the zone of a special military operation. I really like that patriotism is developing in our country, they gave us life, freedom, they fought for us, our fathers once won, and now we will win and now when the equipment went to its places of deployment, numerous spectators who met it went on to celebrate the day of the great victory, Walking Around snowcovered moscow, unusual for may. And although the parade takes place in moscow every year, the impression is always the same. The highest level of training, the training that we have been waiting for a very long time, its time to get down to business, so that we are not brought up so beautifully, so well, and we have the equipment, let the west be afraid of us, and the country and the army will now prepare for the next parade, anniversary, commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany, alexey golovko, ainur valiakhmetov, petrov are already a little nervous, but where are the president s themselves . Look how clear everything is in the stands of red square, how everything seems to be organized, on curando, look, 3 minutes before the parade, here are the leaders, at that very moment they came out of the first building of the kremlin and are heading to the stands, we follow with them, next to the leader of belarus also carries a jacket, because after the parade numerous negotiation. Everyone has been reporting the cold and bad weather all morning today, but look at these shots, so strong and energetic that it would rather start a fire than freeze. The main guests of the central podium, of course, are war veterans, just think about it, many of those who are here on the podium today are over 100 years old, but thats what it means, veterans are not aging in spirit, everything is warm all around and the main guests of the parade are the main president ial ones. Where the paratroopers were walking, he stood and saluted all this time. The weather during the parade changes literally every 5 seconds, then snow and so cold that it does not melt, then the bright sun. Mr. Geach, arent you cold . Freeze yes, but the weather was still like that, changing every few seconds. It has changed, but this is not, not an obstacle to being proud of this holiday. Well, this is what, of course, aroused particularly ardent support from the stands, in the literal sense of the word. Its very cold, but nevertheless the girls, the military personnel, in uniform, in skirts, and the commander of the breed battalion, im already in my fifth year, im already used to it, we were all worried about you, no, everythings fine, well look, surprisingly, of course, the sun came out, the aerial part of the parade still took place, despite the fact that until the last minute it was unclear whether this would happen, and now the president of kyrgyzstan is wearing sunglasses. And we were able to ask the president of belarus about his impressions of the parade. Alexander grigorievich, did you like the parade . Very, worthy. Even more exciting details, of course, are on sunday and only in the moscow kremlinputin program. Medvedev and andrei vershinin, program hosted by moscow kremlinputin. Our victory parade in one way or another volume was broadcast by the worlds key media, this is a chance for foreign viewers. Support and demonstrate their countrys military might, despite fewer soldiers and military equipment than at last years already modest event, this years victory day coincided with russias successes on the front lines. Arab al jazeera highlights todays successes on the front lines the result of our countrys strong fighting tradition. Speaking about a difficult and important moment for russia, putin emphasized that a lot depends on the participants of the northern military district, who in russia are considered heroes. Vladimir putin said during a reception in the kremlin in honor of the heads of other states that todays holiday is celebrated everywhere in the world, where the feat of soldiers who defended freedom for the peoples of the planet is honored; the holiday celebrations for foreign leaders who arrived in moscow became another opportunity to discuss bilateral ties with russia, reporting by alexey konopko. Guinea bissau, leaving the stands, Vladimir Putin discussed something with him through an interpreter, then managed to exchange impressions with the leaders of uzbekistan and tajikistan, one of the african delegation manages to take a selfie with the president s of the spasskaya tower in the background. The leaders entered the Alexander Garden in a completely different mood; this holiday is always filled with tears. 80 years ago the usa, britain and france were one at a time with us towards the front, but now its different. The west with joint exercises, since there are not Strategic Nuclear weapons stationed on the territory. In belarus, this time we invited our friends, allies, and the president of belarus asked about this, to take part in one of the stages of this exercise, we are conducting them regularly, we carried out the first stage, one might say it was beneficial, but yesterday we decided to synchronize and carry out the second third stage together. Correctly emphasized, this is not the first time, and the general staff, as the Russian Defense minister told me, have already begun to implement these, so there is nothing unusual here, this is a planned work, another holiday tradition in the kremlin a reception for distinguished guests, when the leaders of the former republics are at the table, it has a special meaning, the soviet people had a common victory, but the war affected 80 of the planets inhabitants and is celebrated, putin says, all over the world. This sacred holiday is solemnly celebrated wherever they realize the eternal value of justice, equality and humanism, and despite all attempts to rewrite history, the lessons that the World Community learned in the aftermath of the second world war, the memory of the military brotherhood of our fathers and grandfathers, are also not immutable. And greatgrandfathers, openness, Mutual Understanding and friendship of people of different nationalities, cultures and traditions, this will be a reliable support for our movement forward, to Work Together for the sake of the future, for a great victory, for peace and prosperity for our good friends. The leaders meetings the day before ended at 3 00 a. M. , but even today, on his feet, putin managed to communicate with everyone, having a conversation as long as the main staircase with Shavkat Mirziyoyev and his impressions. Thank you. I watched more of russia again. Rakhmon once again separately before flying to moscow, he opened a memorial to the victory over nazism in dushanbe, but today they remembered another threat of the 21st century. Thank you for the words of condolences you expressed on the occasion of the terrorist attacks in moscow. Our special services are actively working to stop common threats, because terrorism poses a threat to all countries. Both for russia and for tajikistan, what happened, of course, this is absolutely unacceptable for us, the fact that it caused very serious damage to the property, history, culture, traditions of our nation, terrorism has no nationality, has no religion , has no homelands, we must fight them, all these negotiations have clearly passed. The second world war, the states of the world, but in cuba and the soviet union , of course, one way or another affected everything the union already had a special relationship then. The archives of peoples memory remember at least three residents of Freedom Island who fought in the ranks of the red army, Enrique Villar in the 137th gorky rifle division, alda viva in the 260th. The fifth was on nevsky piglet, where he died, and his brother jorge was a partisan. Their feat, says putin, will always be remembered in russia, especially since friendship with cuba goes back more than a century. Comrade diaz canel brought the russian leader congratulations on his inauguration from raul castre. You know that the soviet union, russia, modern russia, has always been on your side, on the side of the cuban
