one for all we will not stand for the price moscow red square on june 24, 1945, here at the walls of the gray kremlin, the country met its sons, who returned with the victory of the heroes of unparalleled battles on all fronts of the patriotic war from the barents to the black sea. on red square, then, in the literal sense of the word, those who were trusted to represent all those who defeated fascism and those who at that moment continued to serve and those who died laying their heads on the altar of the common victory, it was these people who were elected, who marched along pavement red the square past the mausoleum, which gathered all the leadership of the soviet union, were supposed
3:41 am
to demonstrate to the world the glory and strength of the soviet army, the victors did with brilliance. for all 800 years of its existence , red square has not seen anything like it on june 24, 1945 for the first time in the history of not only the soviet, but also the russian state. a festive military parade took place here, the parade of the victors, which was attended by more than 10,000 soldiers, preparations for it began long before the planned event , the organizers of the victory parade, generals shtemenko and antonov asked stalin for 2 months to prepare him, but received only 30 days, the idea of \u200b\u200bholding the victory parade belongs to e,
3:42 am
based on memoirs. uh, united zhukov and very much all of stalin, she had a meeting of her own defense committee, where questions about the preparation of hostilities were considered. in the far east, stalin turned to those present with the question of whether it makes sense to hold victories in moscow ahead, they say, the new war, it would be necessary to maintain the morale of the army, by the way, many soldiers officers elected to participate in when they were called to the headquarters at the victory parade , they thought that it would be about sending them to the far east and not to moscow for the celebrations on the occasion of the victory, moreover, for the war. they felt much more ready than for the apparatus. they now knew how to fight better than anyone in this world. but the front-line soldiers, some of them, completely forgot how to march and walk in formation. well, the heroes of even the soviet union , holders of the order of glory, were waiting for their time to pass, but some even smoked in
3:43 am
a fist. eh, some people squatted like that. well, it's hard to stand, someone will take off the helmet, well the breed then walked, of course, flawlessly on red square itself. he did not understand that it was necessary to pass otherwise it was the soviet army , the army of the liberator, liberated by his relatives. and antonov organizers. parade, asked for two months to prepare it is not accidental. they were perfectly aware of the fact that at least it was necessary to sew. all its participants are dress uniforms, and this is more than 10,000 sets. after all, at the fronts, yes, and in the rear during the war, army general shtamenko forgot to even think about him. i should have remembered. also at least train people a little. in the course of the formation, 4 long war years did not do this either. it is clear that they know how to fight well, but they did not often go to parades, on the contrary, it was supposed to withdraw one consolidated regiment from all the fronts operating during the war. each
3:44 am
such regiment was to go to red square with thirty-six combat banners, the most distinguished formations and units of the front, the combined regiment of the navy was to go through separately. after the military parade, a procession was planned, workers just as it usually happened during the celebration. and on november 7, but this part of the holiday had to be canceled at the last moment, as well as the aviation part of the parade due to the rain, which poured from time to time, as if out of a bucket, however, the rain veterans themselves, somehow they don’t remember, were on such an upsurge that soaking them through, the rain is something burdensome. it just didn't seem to be pouring rain anywhere. especially one that i don’t know directly how glass is. it was raining. well, ours got wet and that's it, they came and took off and wanted the usual form. those who will go
3:45 am
they selected them for the parade in moscow. according to the directives sent to the troops , it said that the personnel of the parade participants should consist of the most distinguished soldiers and officers who distinguished themselves in battles and have military ordinates. motorized rifle brigades further three tanks brigades from brigades from the roads 100 people had to
3:46 am
be picked up. well, in addition to the official one, there was also an unspoken directive, the order was formulated very clearly on red square. foreign delegations must see the color of the nation, its beauty and pride, and therefore the elected for a trip to moscow, one must be an attractive person, have a decent bearing and be at least 175 cm tall, border guard yuri ignatiev in height. yes, he did not reach the aforementioned standard, and among his colleagues there were no high ones at the border, as well as in a submarine or in the cockpit of a small fighter, they simply had nothing to do. but then the chief, which means that we had a school, he says, i was, but we weren’t tired, of course, they said there are no high long border guards. so what will the watchtower walk on the border. here, on the contrary, is hiding
3:47 am
there somewhere crawling back and forth to become. okay, get your kids. there, it’s true already in moscow, when the parade participants were given a new uniform, such little heroes of the war, the order bearers were sent to the shoemaker, who stuffed a higher heel on each of them, and even put a thick insole, but therefore no one grumbled about beauty demands victims. preparing for the parade began even at the location of their regiments and divisions. drill training by an experienced warrior was difficult, it was the most difficult for a pilot, they in general, we rarely go to build, we had to shoot a radio operator of a heavy sea bomber aircraft. sergei shevchenko remembers drill training with laughter, it was very bad at first, everything worked out for him, but then
3:48 am
nothing worked out. we trained at the airfield completely as we walked along red square. so we trained there. so all this was worked out, we began to train. at first they went one at a time. who selected what? this is not necessary for someone else there, and this, too, is not necessary too tall there or thin or something still or did not like it then started. well , you know, there were 20 people each, how he passed, including me, yuri, to drive out people like him, almost to the great regret. the point is that he participated not only in the victory parade, but also in the famous parade of the forty-first year, when the troops went straight from red square to those very close at that moment. then in the forty -first, no one selected soldiers by height. and i didn’t check drill training and didn’t
3:49 am
warn anything. no coaching, nothing us in the morning they raised the clock, probably at 5:00 at 6:00 they fed us buckwheat porridge with meat. i, too, so to say, nothing, come out, a march is being built and step by step. even we did not know where the commanders were taking us on foot. we reached red square and took up a position opposite the spassky gates, where did the budyonny cheese come from? it was also snowing slippery troops passing with heavy heavy somehow felt the pressure, the germans were roughly speaking, the moscow region at that time veteranov recalls how he cried, listening to stalin's famous speech that he delivered at that sad parade, yuri ignatiev did not cry, agreed that i could not, even if i wanted to.
3:50 am
and must defeat the german wants. and what half a year if popping should burst with their crimes. and now, not half a year or a year later, as the soviet leadership hoped, but after four bloody hardest years, when the enemy really turned out to be defeated, it was necessary to train so as not to lose face during the victory parade, because, without exaggeration, the whole world
3:51 am
looked at these people on red square, by the way, a small touch, when the columns of the consolidated regiments moved past the mausoleum, all the soldiers had to turn their heads to the right to keep alignment with the podium, where stalin and other leaders of our state stood. when the regiments, having passed the mausoleum , were level with the guest stands, on which foreign delegations were located, including those from the countries of the allies in the anti-hitler coalition, the builder demonstratively turned away from them. now, looking strictly in front of them , such was the order, some argued that this was done, as if on purpose, as a sign that we, in fact, are not looking at you. you haven't opened the second front for too long. we are passing by. this lapel turn of the head performed perfectly, synchronously, was also specially trained, as well as the ability to equally wave the hand to raise the leg to the desired height for the clarity of the step , iron horseshoes were stuffed on the heels, and besides,
3:52 am
the soldiers had their own special tricks. to keep the formation, some even held each other by the little finger, so that, uh, this formation is in no way case, do not violate, so that the line is clearly defined. they prepared for the parade and the kremlin preserved the memoirs of stalin's son vasily that stalin was personally going to receive the parade, but for this he had to sit in the saddle. such was the tradition for anyone, then it never occurred to anyone that the parade could be accepted without sitting on a horse, but standing in a car. vasily stalin writes that the supreme commander tried to learn the basics. riding. fell pretty badly. and after that he just waved his hand, saying too old. i began to take parades, then you issued an order in which it was clearly stated that the victory parade should be accepted by my deputy marshal of the soviet union zhukov command
3:53 am
the victory parade to marshal of the soviet union rokossovsky. in zhukov describes, when the decision was made on the radio to 18 or nineteenth they write june, stalin called him to his dacha and asked. maybe zhukov was still a professional cavalryman to sit on a horse and said yes, he maintained his ability. i can then stalin said that you would command rokossovsky was also known for his love of horses. and more than that, a masterful ability to handle them. so there was no problem at all with him in this sense. the problem turned out to be different during the war years, in parts there were almost no trained horses left, which it would not be a shame to show to the whole world. stalin wanted zhukov to ride a white horse, they began to search, but they did not find anything worthy. but in the cavalry regiment named after dzerzhinsky , a stallion of the terek breed and
3:54 am
a light gray color, nicknamed an idol, was discovered. his he was urgently transferred to the arena of the people's commissariat of defense and began to prepare for the main exit in his life almost every day here. marshal zhukov came and ran the horse for a long time, letting him get used to himself just before the parade. the world has been combed and trimmed for beauty. they even lengthened his tail, by the way, the russian came to the arena only at the end of may and almost immediately chose a stallion named pole for himself. it was a large, but at the same time graceful and swift horse of a karak suit without a single mark with a black mane and tail. the choice turned out more than successful, looking at our great generals, even a non-professional will see. how much more confidently everything is held for rokossovka and how much more beautiful and thoroughbred , the horses chosen by him, marshal of the soviet union zhukov zhukov, on a stallion named
3:55 am
celebes, also of a light suit, was accompanied by major general zelensky for rokossovsky, who was supposed to go to meet zhukov with a sword on his head on the black horse was followed by his adjutant. lieutenant colonel klykov, in front of the mausoleum marshal stopped opposite each other vasily popov stood in the ranks. just opposite the meeting place.
3:56 am
the leningrad commander govorov found the first baltic bagramyan general of armenians behind them. someone else was during the parade, a documentary was being filmed in the soviet union, it was the first attempt to make a color film. filmed on german trophy film. aqua montage and sound recordings were made in berlin. the necessary equipment was only there much later, a front-line operator. mikhail , in a rural way, was so remembered on the set of the victory parade after the film was filmed, it turned out that most of the tape has a marriage
3:57 am
color as color films. they hadn’t filmed in the ussr yet, so there wasn’t enough experience in working on color correction. therefore, all the footage was transferred to black-and-white film, and from those color frames that were suitable in quality, a 19- minute film was assembled into an unexpected thunder. he burst out when , after watching stalin, he asked why not all front commanders were shown in the picture? where did the two film crews go ? the commander of the fourth ukrainian front, general of the army eremenko, it so happened that
3:58 am
there are two whole documentaries of the victory parade in black and white and color, the second is more beautiful, the first is more complete in black and white , it is the speech that makes the greatest impression in the film. zhukov is strange to see our orthodox marshal in glasses. he really needed glasses to read well the text with which he was speaking. well, here, too, the hero is a tough man, glorified, who went to half of europe and a man with glasses who reads. zhukov's speech he got up already, after having traveled around and greeted all the troops lined up for the parade, when the marshal had already dismounted and climbed the steps in the mausoleum, the general accompanying him. zelensky spoke softly to his back. glory. god it ended well. zhukov just shrugged
3:59 am
. he still had to stand at the microphone. comrades red army and red navy officers of the army and navy generals and admirals today the capital of our motherland moscow victory what else did not know when stalin appointed georgy zhukov to take the parade a little? who was surprised and certainly no one began to question. and why he will do it, however, many are still wondering. why konstantin rokossovsky was appointed to command the parade, of course, he was one of the best, but there were other
4:00 am
worthy military leaders. in addition, much more beloved stalin at one time, he nevertheless served time under a political article, and only the war and the need for competent military personnel saved him from execution as an enemy of the people. historians consider this version to be rokossovsky’s front, the first belarusian front in at the end of the forty-fourth year, i went to berlin, but later, uh, rokossovsky was replaced by zhukov, and there is such a beautiful legend that stalin said that berlin should take the russians. there they are a pole, this is politics and apparently, here, uh, such an uh, a hidden form of gratitude to rokossovsky and a hidden form of apology. yes, in may forty-fifth he was not allowed to take berlin, but now in june of the same
4:01 am
year he was allowed to command the victory parade . each consolidated regiment arrived in moscow, in addition to the 36 names of those parts of the front that distinguished themselves most in battle. he carried with him all the fascist standards captured during the war. this was also specifically stipulated in the order of preparation. the arriving soldiers were greeted, the victors from the brass bands played with honors, and the ordinary muscovites. they carried flowers, tears in their eyes and words of gratitude addressed to those who came , all the veterans in moscow remember this with warmth of heart before the belarusian saints
4:02 am
kissed us and from that the composition belorussky railway station. there is such a khlebnikov station located there and already there they trained for four hours on the spot. placed in different places and pre-training took place at someone where, well, shortly before the date of the event. here was held as all dress rehearsals thought. but a day before the parade at 12:00 at night , they were all raised by alarm, loaded into cars and taken to red square. this was
4:03 am
the night rehearsal of the parade and became the final one. now the celebration was ready. everything and people and equipment two days before of the parade, its participants were given a brand new, brand-new, freshly sewn full dress uniform for parade participants, it was sewn at the moscow factory, bolshevik here , especially for the sailors, especially for the infantrymen of the tankers, the training was, of course, the shortest deadline, freshly dyed with leather and pleasantly, creaking veterans recall that rejoiced at these new clothes, like children, and then they were very upset. the fact is that on the day of the parade it started to rain, and for many, the paint flowed with it, staining, brand new, some tunics sailors who had such blue ones. ah, the flannels noted, then that this rain soaked their uniforms
4:04 am
in such a way that then the stains remained even on the vests , so they fell through the force of the raging bad weather, involuntarily supported the 26-meter fountain built on the forehead for the duration of the apparatus . and so they called the fountain of the winners; its multi-meter jets carried by the wind onto the moving columns poured over the soldiers as if they were the chosen one, but this was not much sadness for anyone. even seemed right someone from priests who also attended the victory parade at the same time, having military awards on their cassocks next to orthodox crosses, - he said that he sees a finger in this. god's as if the lord planned to wash away the soldiers of the victors all the dirt and pain of the past war. in moscow, despite the rain, despite the fact that the sky fell on the earth, the atmosphere and the fighters themselves on red square and moskvich had the most elevated work done, the most important
4:05 am
thing was to achieve the most implacable enemy. and everything ahead. let it be very difficult, but all this is doable. if such an enemy is overcome, then the rest of the difficulties will also happen. just as we want, we wanted victory, we achieved it in the process of preparing for the victory parade, in addition to the uniform, the soldiers were given weapons. naturally charged. it was not, as you know, and a broom shoots once a year, and here people are massively armed to the teeth right on red square. we had checkers, and the rest had rifles. without circumvention, of course, without a clip, no, loaded weapons are not allowed, not a tank, for no reason you are loaded in red square, and he crazy different still shoot with a machine gun spectators in the stands were also strictly selected and checked, the public was allowed there only with tickets that were distributed in advance and not by anyone, but the nkvd were, uh,
4:06 am
special tickets that they issued, as it were, a certain service and did it , well , soviet times, the ninth department of the kgb there , uh, here's the guard here, it was all through them. firstly. this is a foreign agency. these are e representatives of the public of moscow , e, representatives of the military of those who did not participate in the parade, for example, those who brought to moscow with us victories, which would be friendly over the reichstag assault flag of the 150th guards rifle division here they did not take part in the parade , they were spectators the banner of victory hoisted over the reichstag by sergeant yegorov and junior sergeant kantaria arrived in moscow on june 20 , 1945 by his plane to the central air terminal, as it was then called the move , it was instructed to meet him and bring him to the kremlin, a specially created group of standard-bearers to command this
4:07 am
guard of honor, and then to carry the banner itself was appointed valentin varennikov, the same valentin varennikov, who went through the entire second world war, took part in military conflicts in angola, syria and ethiopia , commanded a contingent of our troops in afghanistan and eventually rose to the rank of general and the post of deputy minister of defense of the ussr shortly before his death. he said that he became the standard-bearer of the victory quite by accident. among many others , captain vareniki was elected to participate in the victory parade and already in moscow, during preparation, georgy zhukov caught the eye of us when we were preparing for the victory parade in moscow, he came to us several times and surrounded him like that, uh, and he told how the parade would be held, who was invited, uh, the order, where our god would stand.
4:08 am
uh, the first of the belarusian front, and then, so, uh, friend says that tomorrow a plane will fly from berlin with the creation of victory, it will be necessary to meet him with a guard of honor, and i stood, uh, against him like that, so he says, appoint this hussar as head kudos to the cow. you know, i'm just lucky. here on these unique frames of the chronicle, which were taken on the khodynka field. the banner of victory is just in the hands. valentin varennikov's. true, for the first time about existence. not only this film, general varennikov. i found out only 40 years later. it was then that this photograph, based on one of the frames, was first published. i was in afghanistan, led our group, there 85 years. this is 40 years of our victory and they send me an album there and there i open the first
4:09 am
sheet in the destruction of knowledge and the next page is the signing of the beetle superlist, i look dumplings. here is such an interesting thing, in addition to the infantrymen, sailors, artillery pilots , tankers and other soldiers , the musicians of the combined orchestra also participated in the parade. as part of 1,000,200 people, he was specially assembled a month before the date of the parade, and from that moment he rehearsed daily under the guidance of the chief military man, he was also among the elect. at vdnkh there were rehearsals conducted by semyon alexandrovich chernetsky himself rehearsing with us. for a month we were preparing the passage of each regiment, the orchestra was supposed to meet with its melody later, when it went
4:10 am
military equipment. each species also moved along red square. under its strictly defined music. the very best. with the most solemn mars - this is pathos, this is a holiday. it was a great holiday for all the people. you know, they wept with joy, but the greatest impression on all the participants was made not by the masterfully played machines in 1,000 wind instruments, but by a simple drum roll that rang out at the moment when a special consolidated regiment of soldiers with fascist banners in their hands moved along red square towards the mausoleum. once proud cloths.
4:11 am
now we pass the pavement, and some soldiers even stepped on them, then impatiently, throwing back the heapy enemy banner in the direction of them, there were 200,200 banners and 200 soldiers who were supposed to throw them to the foot, it was clear that the most worthy should do it. but which of them remained a mystery even for many veterans of the parade participants. tankman anatoly marasevich is still guessing about this , the very heroes of the soviet union, as about a height of at least 75 meters, but i don’t know how to be more precise selection. as it turns out, it was not easy now, many front-line soldiers refused to take on this business. as a result, the group of standard-bearers. in addition to representatives of different fronts, 100 soldiers from the dzerzhinsky division entered, the entire first rank consisted exclusively of dzerzhins. senior sergeant vasily skipenko, who stood outside the seventh,
4:12 am
recalled. at the end of may, forty-fifth , the commandant of the kremlin, general, arrived, sinilov, he announced that at the victory parade we would have to throw captured fascist banners together with soldiers from the front, then the general i passed a two-meter stick from the summer tent along the ranks and abruptly threw it, saying something like this, many were squeamish and didn’t want to carry the enemy’s symbols. the senior sergeant, who turned out to be the tallest, and therefore was placed on the right flank in the first line. i told the boss directly. i do not want to dirty my hands on this fascist area, especially since he got it. not just the banner of some fascist division or brigade, but the personal standard of hitler himself
4:13 am
; other front-line soldiers selected for this group supported his words and, oddly enough, the command heeded the words of ordinary soldiers, they were promised that not one of them would even touch the poles of hitler's standards. and they kept their word. before the parade. gloves were handed out to everyone, you can often read about white gloves on the hands of those who carried enemy banners at the foot of the mausoleum , but no, it would be too reporting. the gloves were black. first, the heroes of the war passed, that is, uh, the rising regiments of the fronts, then after passing the uh, the columns of the navy were thrown to the uh foot of the mausoleum witnesses say that at that moment stalin automatically capped 200 banners of nazi germany, but zhukov, who was nearby
4:14 am
, said something in his ear . area. well-prepared leaders. stalin heard how the abandoned fascist metal fascist units were knocking.
4:15 am
were these real signs this question worried the soldiers, who looked at the solemn action while standing, in the general ranks, and still excites even one halt. do you know what clear blowjob is? i am what i am - he says, he threw standards. i say, well you were throwing a real one there. i'm talking standards yo. he hesitated, however, immediately after the parades, the fascist banners were collected and taken away , they were to become exhibits in various museums, and the platform on which they lay and even the gloves that were on the hands of soldiers throwing standards for the winter were completely destroyed after how are they they threw down these banner gloves and the platform itself was symbolically burned. many appreciated. it's like a kind of final disinfection , finally getting rid of the fascist infection after the non-rejection of hitler's military standards. now the soviet army
4:16 am
was demonstrating to the whole world its future and its increased power. first , the cadets of the military school academy passed through the moscow garrison, after them the cavalry, which caused a revival on the podium of the mausoleum and then even opened the overcoat to show their orders and medals. technology, then on red square there were no iberian gates restored today, which were blown up by the bolsheviks, because they interfered with the may day demonstrations of the kazan cathedral, which was not completely destroyed , today also rebuilt by zanosaurs. so the equipment went to the parade along wide passages, advancing from two streets at once military equipment. she traveled from different directions. now the street does not leave nikolsky, then part of the light military equipment with nikolskaya street
4:17 am
is part of tverskaya and when at the final stage, and heavy tanks drove out, and they drove out very beautifully. the tankers then demonstrated aerobatics when they went to red square, it really was e synchronously and very beautifully the living history of the great patriotic war it was also a great joy that the time for older soldiers turned out to be not symbolic, but a real frontier even before him 23 june was announced, partial demobilization muscovites soldiers. they still remember how after the parade. they went home on foot or by tram. well, in the evening, all moscow walked in the kremlin in the st. george hall for a banquet , the authorities gathered suran simonyan with fellow musicians from the consolidated orchestra and played at this solemn event with his own
4:18 am
ears. i heard the famous toast that stalin made during the festive feast. well, i saw how, uh, i drank for the russian people. and this will give, and the whole river , which stretched for half an hour, among other things, stalin said, i raise a glass to the soviet people and especially to the people, who on certain days in the forty -first and forty-second years, when we had serious tests could say that we do not need such a government go away. we will make peace with germany once. you did this to us, but the russian people did not go for it, because they have a clear mind and patience. it was let's say. so, on the one hand, the tribute of the supreme to the people who really carried it on their shoulders. the main ones are the same with you, but on the other hand, and with a kind of stalin’s apology before what happened at the beginning of the war
4:19 am
, the supreme leader never spoke so frankly about what he thinks and how he feels, how he felt of this war speech. stalin was greeted with applause, but not only suren simonyan saw tears and wept in front of the hardened war and men, and the generals from the private to the general and marshal wept, wept and raised toasts. stalin raised not by chance for the russian people. here is the glass of wine. i want to drink for the russian people, because they suffered the most during the great patriotic war, and they did not give up, and around the russian people all our nations and always somehow always we were together with the russian people, and then, when the solemn part was over and the musicians were released, they did not get home. they
4:20 am
played for a long time on the streets of the capital, now for ordinary muscovites. after all, that night, no one was at home. moreover, the rain finally stopped, and nothing prevented people from celebrating. this is indeed a great victory event. although we had a soldier here, they were given a leave of absence until the morning on red square. yes, ejoication, he does not know hugging, kissing, crying, this one understand, tears of joy, of course, someone victory can be said, we played. uh, they played outside near the factory. mayakovsky was not there on the square then. e monument. that's where they played. you know, they came up play son, and after that there was a festive salute such
4:21 am
as i had never seen before, strangely like it was only on may 9 in honor of the victory itself when yuri levitan, with barely restrained jubilation in his voice, read out the order of the supreme commander for the red army and navy despite all the greatness and undoubted propaganda, the success of the parade of 45, stalin did not want to celebrate victory day anymore, may day and november demonstrations were still held, but not on june 24
4:22 am
, not on may 9, large-scale celebrations were not held until 20 years later, in 65, by the fifth decree of the presidium of the supreme soviet of the ussr, may 9 was officially declared a holiday to explain such a strange neglect of the generalissimo to win in that terrible war , historians still, but not officially , this holiday was celebrated every year, every family in every house in every village and in every city in our vast country. after all, it was and remains for us a common devastating war that claimed many millions of lives. and left her trail of blood. in each, without exception, the russian family ended with a great victory. the enemy was defeated and the victory really turned out to be
4:23 am
ours. the eternal memory of the soldiers in the great war has faded, another order sounds and the postman will go crazy looking for us, the red rocket takes off. the machine gun is not tiring, and so we need one victory, one for all. we are not for the price stands alone for all. we will not stand behind the price
