Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] After the parade.

1. Was the first time. Impressions of course somewhat different than on TV. I have long been accustomed to the local Sevastopol parades - land and sea - and they have not been surprising for a long time. And here is something new, although it seems to be familiar for a long time. At the Moscow parades in our family, only my grandfather was before. On November 7, 1941, just from Red Square, he went to the front to defend Moscow.

2. Security was taken very seriously - the passport was checked four times, personal belongings two times. Already at the finish line in front of the stands, the FSO officer found fault with a slightly torn page of the passport, but the senior clarified that it was necessary to take pictures and take control if the page was torn by about half. On the rooftops, snipers and drone hunters could be observed.

Also, men with drone strikers were noted on the way to the square. And in general, there were a lot of guards, starting from the Lubyanka on the rise to Red Square. Something was deliberately and defiantly in plain sight, something hidden from the eyes of passers-by. By the way, to the question of the notorious bandage "Shaman". Exactly the same bandage was used on the square by the FSO officers, who were engaged in directing the flow of people and checking documents according to some kind of their program. Apparently. and "Shaman" bandage

3. There were no traces of the arrival of the drone on the dome of the Senate Palace - everything has already been replaced.

Of course, after that, drone flights were also banned and the tactical air defense of the capital was strengthened. How effective we will see during the next terrorist attacks. Our special services are certainly preparing for such attempts.

4. Of the complaints, as usual, two old questions - the Mausoleum hidden behind cardboard boxes (absurd historical hide-and-seek continues) and the procedure for taking out the flag of the Russian Federation and the Banner of Victory. Everything else is at a high organizational level. However, Lenin was present at the parade, about 12 flags with Lenin carried parade boxes.

5. Seven leaders of the CIS countries came to the parade. The very ones that Boris Filatov aka. "we will hang later" called "faggots". However, the tantrums of the Ukrainian Nazis were expected, especially since yesterday they flew in Dnepropetrovsk and Filatov's fart was on fire since yesterday.
Boris Filatov an Ukrainian politician and is current Mayor of Dnipro.
The picture of foreign policy isolation of the Russian Federation did not work out. And in general, there were many foreigners from Asia, Africa, South America. The Americans were not invited, but, nevertheless, in the speech, Putin noted the contribution of the soldiers of the anti-Hitler coalition from the United States and Britain to the defeat of Nazism.

6. Putin's key message is that the war is not against Ukraine, but against the Nazi occupation of Ukraine, and we act as liberators of Ukraine from Nazism. Still, it would be great not to negotiate with him on grain and ammonia. Otherwise, the emphasis was on the need to achieve victory in the NMD and that it is there that the future of Russia is decided, therefore the military is now of paramount importance for the fate of the country.

You can't argue with that. It is also worth noting that, unlike in other years, this time it is about "victims of the Gulag" and so on. didn't even remember. Such are the times. On the contrary, the ghost of SMERSH roams the country.

7. Shoigu and Salyukov taxied in the parade. Shoigu traditionally crossed himself before leaving for the front boxes. The parade scheme itself was standard. The parade was held according to a somewhat abbreviated scheme without an air parade and a small mechanized column without tanks at all. Tanks are now needed at the front. So this parade could hardly cause serious damage to the NMD in the format in which it was held.

However, it is quite clear that the task was to hold the parade without excessive pathos and it was successfully solved. The main parade of the main holiday of the country is an axiomatic thing. "Yars" close up is of course a powerful thing. Well, looking at the three finishing Boomerangs, I would like 300 at the front as well.

8. A total of 530 participants of the NWO participated in the parade. Of the familiar faces, I saw Abkhaz and several Chechen officers (I don’t remember their names), whom I saw from the video from the LPR. Plus, from familiar faces, I saw Admin with Akim Apachev. On the way back from Red Square, I also met Solovyov. Well, Konashenkov on the square.
Russian General Konashenkov is the Russian ministry of defense Golden Throat.
9. Already after the parade, next to the podium where he was sitting, Putin passed, gathered around him the generals and officers who headed the parade boxes and talked to them about something there. Then he waved his hand and went to the rest of the presidents of the CIS, who were going to lay flowers at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. From the podium they shouted "Thank you."

10. In general, quite interesting impressions. Apparently because the first. In fact, from a serious negative, only the Mausoleum covered with cardboard, but this old story and under Putin, apparently nothing will change in this matter. Comrade Periscope correctly noticed this a couple of years ago. Otherwise, it is a rather bright event underlying one of the few real ideological bonds in the country. We are waiting for another Victory Parade after the victory in the NWO. So that not only past victories can be remembered and can be seen in the front boxes of modern front-line soldiers with captured Nazi banners.

Rogov explained the lack of heavy equipment at the Victory Parade in Moscow

Rogov: there was no heavy military equipment at the Victory parade in Moscow, as it is needed at the front

Heavy military equipment did not take part in the Victory Parade on Red Square in Moscow, as it is currently used at the front and in military units. This assumption RIA Novosti was expressed by the head of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.

He noted that the decision to hold a parade on Red Square was “absolutely correct” - this showed that “no one is afraid of anything, that we will go to the end.”

The absence of heavy military equipment, which is currently more needed at the front, did not affect the parade, as the legendary T-34 tank, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, and the Yars strategic missile system took part in it.

As REGNUM reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the West does not want peace and seeks to destroy the Russian state at any cost during his speech at the Victory Parade in Moscow. Readers of the British edition of the Daily Mail supported his words.
