The May 9th Parade is a traditional event held in Russia and other post-Soviet countries in honor of Victory Day over Nazi Germany in World War II. This day is celebrated on May 9, since it was on this day in 1945 that the act of surrender of Germany was signed.
The parade in Moscow on Red Square is the largest and most significant event. It is attended by military personnel, veterans, representatives of various organizations and youth groups. The parade showcases military equipment, modern weapons, and also includes aerial displays.
The May 9 parade symbolizes the memory of the feat of the Soviet people during the war and serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and harmony. Various events are also held in other cities of Russia and abroad, including rallies, concerts and processions of the “Immortal Regiment”, where people carry portraits of their relatives who participated in the war.
