such as ceremonies for leaders of foreign state delegations during their all fishel visits to russia. the laying of wreaths to the two of the new soldier at the kremlin wall. and other than so national significance. overall the guards of honor have taken part in more than seven thousand special events. literacy. week demonstrated your reaction. to the extraordinary pictures they are very pleased to say we have guests with us here in this t.v. . russian company of science is joining us and people about a little commentary and we see there's a big parade parade even extraordinary pictures that we can see eric how important

is this for russia it's really it's in a very it's an event that brings all russians to gether and all generations together it's the soul of it and every single year that is so liberated here so it's extremely important for all russians and it's something to remember i mean there are still veterans around to honor their for sacrifice it's about sacrifice in many ways it's something it's about a magnitude that most people the world can't fathom outside of this part of the world twenty seven million people perished but it's just unparalleled in the war and so this is a time to remember that terrible terrible pain and it is still with russians to this day i mean the demographics of this country has still affected by what happened in the war think about it sixty six years ago and russia has not recovered demographically from that event but it's it's not all so solemn it's

a holiday it's a legal holiday family gets together with around and watching this parade like we see the defense minister coming up here their bigotry is showing up this is the french minister hey we can see this as a listening to what he has to say. no these little. before is actually the person and that. is the russian defense minister is a single person so now you see. we can put into our audience here this is what these these. i think it's their forces as of how the provision was so that's i know those severus when you feel them kind of the way they're called the seals one for use in school so two of them during the race since the soviet time it's a tradition and the oldest captures is a coming of broken down some of this into this nice.

story. troops are ready for the parade. carol general very good russian. defense minister in one of the. twenty seven million since. he said people i think that's very important not just russians but soviet people all of the

republicans here this is what's very very interesting as well is if you have georgians ukrainians. other countries even in the baltic republics it's known as the great war encompassed all of these people here it's not just a russian it's millions and millions of other people who are involved in this and this brings what people don't like the phrase post soviet space together maybe for one day a year but it just remember all of their sacrifices you know they're there georgians who died there over from respect to stand eccentric cetera so this is all very bad i just woke up and look at these exploding it just hit me just to click mazing is it. it is absolutely the day that having the largest aaa devils thank you thousand troops taking place and. and elfin oh it's so natural for just six to bring us so much. more squeeze feature whole nightmare for them coming all services. at that time of. the some of the.

news groups you can party. chief john. kerry. beastly seventy. three of them i need you to see. what he got three. hundred three. cities these pictures of veterans medals of honor cetera these are not this is so relevant today still is not i go through the streets and i see people leaving

veterans flowers and carnations is this huge gratitude from sequential it's still it's still very much there and i mean that's that's a positive thing for a society together but you know you pointed out that we have never seen so many troops on red square heard about this event is very interesting is that you know people say why do we need amazing pictures like we're seeing right now unfortunately for very little eyes world out there of nato invading countries it's a it's a really rushes of peace thank goodness there are not russian soldiers going abroad in foreign wars but you know you know people say why do they need these kind of parades what has to russia needs to show the world that it's. to protect its open ports when it needs this kind of protection in a very militarized world where the united states is wrecking invasions here and what we have hillary clinton has been wondering out loud or syria is going to be in its news is really quite extraordinary to me defend themselves and this is what the parade workers shows that russia is prepared but help prepared russia is perfect

for a bill russia is russia is prepared because a measure of reform is going to go as you know taken place and the basic idea is to have a smaller force headcount is about one million now in russia well the idea is to have a very very effective force we need absolutely and you know back in the ninety's russia the life of the strategic nuclear force them very careful the dangers have changed so not now russian is a small a while force and you know it's very important to understand the russian intelligence situation we talk about all those veterans there are all four and a half million in russia the load to say nothing all the others yes contradictions but you know also on the whole every russian lost someone wanted to war for instance my bullshit when troubles force one of the ways and craft designer you spend a lot of strides in the front line and you know if you've seen those new plates and

understand we are going through them and my grandfather he was on the cover page. germany for five years and he came back to life but you can imagine the enormous stress filled with family they know that never stop and see if you could be. there he said story with my wife grandparents he says almost every russian family in lost someone gets war and culturally if you are talking to russia you can see both of these grandfathers either forty or contributed to that victory so everyone is touched by this cap so there's a way which makes it even more relevant still benefits the very interesting if you will of the american laws. this is a civil war more so beatrice stalin got that america lost in war time. the cats just go you could have seen it i didn't. i get you in a minute we celebrate their sixty six and your first three victories.

i. asked we can manage. i. guess. we celebrate the sixty sixth anniversary for the victory in world war two.

for some. here in a few centuries let's. see yet to think that the voices of this two thirds lives if it was an oral history even pointed out the world has been screaming for russia last week really busy writing about this is virtually not one family in this country the flood affected by the conflict that ended sixty six years ago i want to stress we have this fine period so long period of decades here but it's still very very important you know when we look at it this way here it is people think you know the russians they like the militarization of life armies and all that this is a way to remember that that very horrific experience that you know we we don't there isn't this kind of save the saving private ryan kind of an older man take

people here it's a very painful things still in this country and you are russian obviously not you i mean do you feel this looking so professional a real personal way you look at these kind of pictures of the kind of emotional club salute there who has been watching who prays since who was born you see a full and you know so we really had to watch a parade say yeah one of the victory being the other was the anniversary of the toba revolution we see and which was always a great feeling to see and actually feel that you. so you actually feel that your parents your grandparents took part in back and it's in great. shape. but. you can read supreme commander in chief. the troops are ready for to march past the defense.

president of the vessel. already should tell that they are easier that are inside the soldiers and seamen and surgeons in the city officers yet only officers generals and admirals said i was right today we celebrate their victory in world war two he said lauri's day for our people we defended our homeland and liberated the world from that says it. as years go by. we deeper and deeper realize the importance of what the war generation has accomplished its strength and courage and denial. you are to your veterans have set

a high moral standard for us you gave us a model of being faithful to your home and it is our debt to remember about this and preserve peace that you have won for us you didn't spare yourself on your way to the victory losing your friends and your loved ones you fought for every town and i mean every village. you have to keep it you know now that the nats is here you not allow them to rule the world and you have achieved victory in the world war two. in modern russia we have theory. special attitude towards the events of those years. were grandchildren and great grandchildren are collapsing and because memories. relatives we have no doubt that our children and our grandchildren will preserve

the memory of the here a small we've got a great patriotic war. now we have a new generation strengthening friendship with other peoples that celebrate these days with us and i would like to congratulate sincerely the veterans in all countries in the deep to reduce our common. holly ari great day for us all citizens of russia we are proud that people who are granted like through those who are more able to respond to our country from early in the short time. we need to working our industry in agriculture we will first to go into our to space in achieve great results in science education. to. russia is firmly defending the principles of peaceful pop aeration. we are promoting the indivisibility of security and making our contribution to the general

efforts to support global stability on our armed forces. are effective in peacekeeping operations around the world the russian army and navy are defending the people of russia are soldiers and officers. well ron comma judy nobody even today and their comrades will know march on red square you know what you're going to name on them how do you know warded for their courage and valor performance. the government will continue to do everything we can to provide you with us for our servicemen to supply him with mortar orange's. so that our troops have more in hardware we'll see some of it now you're in

a parade or to veterans. today we celebrate the most sacred polity we thank you all. because you have given us freedom. just the way you would you knew what you refinding for what your friends paid with their lives for. you there are certain things we can never abandon and forget about the saw freedom dignity of our homeland and peace for our land east things are dear to us all this is what makes us one and strong nation. this is a great day a day of great victory of what he did glory to our victorious people who were on.

the. the load. who.

the national anthem there just had a poignant speech from the president. said today was glorious day for all people. and talks about the strength and courage of the veterans but also. relevant today as mentioned his global conflicts wrote down simultaneously global security today and i think also this is what this parade and this is the kind of the bridge

because let's be honest gentlemen the veterans will won't be with this for much longer ok and this misadventure today will have to transform itself into meaning something they can still be celebrated they can't do it once they're gone it has to evolve and i think security global security is that area it has to go into russia is not fighting anyone it's as peacekeepers abroad but we live in a very very dangerous world with the arab awakening going going on right now neo colonialism still planning a state case in the in the sand in the middle east i mean you still see nato countries the united states wanting to interfere and to be evolution of political change there they don't want to let go we're going to rain look at saudi arabia and you know and so when we look at pictures right here russia is saying it will protect its own interests but it's it has interesting global security it's one hundred. percent again very mention modern equipment to be significant is that

you know to fight a modern war you have to have modern equipment and you know it's always be one step ahead of your opponent you know russian so eventually as they develop some great pieces of their second old boy you know something like the legend thank you for that for them to show multiple launch rocket system. so this other parts of it was late one thousand nine hundred c.c.'s soul of it was such a great achievement to see it and also the russian engineers managed to develop an equipment of this message for the use of the fifty four was the most pressing need for houston for a year i think we have pointed out there was a lot of things it was a probe but i was sort of a union was ripped off by everybody else in the writing more kalashnikovs related broad than ever made in russia ok so that's how good somebody one percent of cases

looked just like the cryptic is the one we can see here. and you know it's a great pride for every person to take part of this you see the twenty thousand best told to the best you can see lots of medals and one of them so all this it's a great ride for the reason that we take lots we look at these pictures here and these are smart uniforms with really nice marching or you i'm not very much in the military but i do like this parade kristie this is it to be a military base on this. you know the squatch still what the stage is to be in the military russia but you know now russian are shifting towards contra force and you know there's a russian economy's developing a fleet of cars there's a great competition from the seaboard you'll see from the civil sector so i'm in a chill for supply good space station for those who are on the contrapuntal service but the problem is the economies develop and you see businesses in russia are offering better and better paying soldiers there's always a confusion between common service and the same problem as in any other country

that i'm a younger person over there and you are young and they understand the significance of. you know dynasties in russia still more still professional. military officers have their fathers grandfathers and sometimes a dentist today spent a few bizzare stone squash court for right so it's very much much a case of rover in the real room others. absolutely you know so this has become a big stage just recently with the current reform on the way it should be used but it is just surgical which is very controversial and so we will point out for a lot of e-mails you have major change. but we're going to talk about this i think rachel says i think that the full. flush. military capabilities and goals will be additions in which people. cables rush it's

true because god has so richly beyond we are so cold so it's extremely hard but people have their families good conditions. stepping back a little bit and just explain to people not know why is this sort of making the ninth . should say if it's just a difference in time i mean that when the when the education occurred when the nazis signed the document the people that you ation it was the night in moscow it was the only. way and so it's the only difference really magic is a both midnight that was already in the month of may in the most serious cause confusion ever since. brings up the point about how we are going back to how hollywood looks at the world how it's looked at here i mean it's it's very much the united states just the united states with a couple of the british powers one the second world war and if you're in britain the people of this winston churchill that's it i think this is really i think the

more people understand that they can understand the military and security issues that he has been talking about here is that you know russia the soviet union took the brunt of it i mean by for more people go out on the eastern front bring the great patriotic war is colder than any other fever of war during that entire conflict westerners do not know the americans particularly. no they think it was all pearl harbor and then the new use of the atomic weapon against the age of the central film and then color what their lives with here was most least in from fighting soviets you know and also if you talk about america should be different to the world all the you see they did the exactly the same the russians started messing with fans the rush observation the great you all saw most of the children it was busy fighting the soviets and this was never the allies face to. face only faced old men and boys yeah absolutely yes get it was best this truce with

fighting the russians and the russians for the message and the principle set the scene. of this with a little he's exploring because he is taking something of this. country's need squares now. seeing a navy regiment so bereans from the three hundred thirty six detached those two guards the baltic feet under the command of brigade commander lieutenant colonel of the guards. the navy's history is full of their old deeds that is glorious for its naval income but tradition says by right the citizens of russia are proud of it. marines manifested miracles of courage and heroism during the.
