again and again the few will go dark without more stuff to stay in a commercial with truman and it's indisputable that he was the leader of that. you cannot deny that you cannot change it because it did happen. course subs you knew my problem with seeing the many events and then about things would have been won or lost differently if you could not been for the use of the insistence that certain things are going to take place to feel i'm not interested in motors it was because i can do first days of the war and so big losses. were very much contributed to these arbitrary and he could not believe that you know we were moving so much ground to the nazis. this was the. resistance and it was going to things but you know the troops were not prepared for that and there was a lot of controversy in the water they received from the from the from the local command

from the communication the broken anyway but then when i don't what it was we had some great generals come in and it will fill in the void by the coffin of people like this that is truly amazing military. ability but there again it is the average person on the ground that made the difference and twenty seven million people died to remember djoko for in connection to the parade if i may you have a monument to the yes but you know why the moment is there because these effects are decided in the place where it was the first parade of the first parade in one forty five this is the sixth time of that it might learn something new thank you and so there's the place and specifically chosen for the part where we take a look at these pictures and what are we saying there are going to work you guys they have the the uniform. and not really saying it's needed.

or that these would be paratroopers must be part of. the marines. as russian. national. i find it quite interesting watching this parade this year because what about russia's political cycle of and there's controversy in russian politics like we haven't seen since the end of the soviet union but in events like this it's a unifier so it doesn't really matter what your political color is everyone in this country can enjoy the meaning of this parade. in one thousand one. hundred or. so you know a. very traditional. you know.

gives people a sense of pride. but that's one of the things that a good western audiences in public say have a hard time understanding why russia continues to invoke the memory of nineteen forty five and it's because of the impact that war had on this country and its people i mean in the united states for example that people are not going to be remembering the second world war like it is remembered here in parades like this try to give a good reason. for western audiences understand what happened here between one thousand forty one and i forty. that's in. any way for the western audience and also divided into the categories of radio the best and so the same which remember roman should remember. so i wonder if the vapors of the day for ben and them really i mean you could look at.

say the british it's you know what i broke it up for the i reckons it's the pacific about the most of the war most of the college will tease you know i'm talking about this or go to washington americans met yes which from all we can and will. and. we have with remind our audience is that it would be the war's been rated on the may eighth in the west made in europe and the night you said you want to tell a story all told what the reason was well i may try or give a shout. monday i was reading the actual speech which george is telling me to commemorate the victims. and. the. completion was signed. by the end of his speech

and this is why one proclaimed the month of victory for russia ok but it was the next day following a mixtape oh it's a time zone difference here the reason why you know that's because it was already the ninth in russia in moscow and it was still go but it's still be in germany so that's the reason why we have two different dates eight to midnight. but you also specifically mentioned the ninth of may. there's still three pictures. he's saying here is that it shows

a military that's pretty polished here but still a lot of problems with reform like i pointed out earlier we had to work with the head of the soviet union we saw the military forces here deteriorate and it's been a long process of putting them back into order. making them much more focused meaner and meaner i think is the favorite term these days. but there still is conscription here or there is still some contracts work people that are in the list so it's still a long process of reform here but certainly better off than it was ten years ago. i would say so to me. and i'm not completely sure about the shadow of the consequences for mercy's for. professionals and people for certain conference i'm not sure about numbers for. abuse cheryl. professionals he's influenced. their son soon so during the sentencing you know people are. going to be a little more frock. but it's. sort of like

indication. of subsidies for studies. and looking at these pictures here it's a stark reminder that the world is a very dangerous place russia lives in a neighborhood where we know the change is going on all of the time but we have to remember. the south side here where georgian forces invaded so office that they would russia had to respond and had to learn some lessons from that so the neighborhood isn't particularly peaceful and there are other powers in the region that are arming as well so you have to you have to be prepared and that's the kind of world do it and that's what the arms form does that have to keep your politics. exactly. and if we have president putin on the about for a third term we will see how the. she's military can work with that so i wouldn't

even friends nato we'll see how that will unfold relatively sort of the chicago so much coming up which is it will not be a russian state media which was a very important we'll see how mr putin will be about what has been said very much on foreign policy but then again he's only been president again for like what today . this is his first major public event. after the certainly the presidency of the. heated words what form would have stayed home. although it does contain sort of a future you know. there's been a certain targets for objectives which you know as he said during his speech is that we have to learn the lessons of the events of nine hundred forty one the idea of forty five and if you don't learn them either we live together and again he was

talking about how the world needs to be united in dealing with threats not divided or i would say in my humble opinion countries some countries of the world should not be unilateral their foreign policy and military policy you know obviously that's directed against the united states and its military adventures around the world. also i know what he's talking about the parade there cadences slightly smaller version of what was the greatest it was one hundred twenty steps for many weeks so slightly below and you can see the and is there a reason for that. or is it the static so i mean. it looks i think they calculated

that you know. better more impressive for them to have medicaid and. then when it was changed the first time they used this to go to the parade years ago. in the real gold body before me you can have a very very sharp are you can know it is the slightly slightly small we're. still in. but if you just joined this is our tease coverage of the sixty seventh anniversary of the end of the second world war europe or as it's called heroes of the great patriotic war. see the review of numerous troops here members of the military. why don't we go being inspected by the president of the russian federation but the members of the military elite and of course audiences all over russia and in the world.

you know and i look at these veterans like you know after everything that has happened in this country from one nine hundred forty five to the present we've seen the country that they fought for collapse we saw the grip of a new country russia go through the russian federation go through so much pain in the one nine hundred ninety s. and then consolidation of the two thousand and seven so you know for someone that witnessed the second world war and see all of those changes in addition it's an amazing life to live. again without being scared to go home you know to have to meet all of them or both of them know the lab so it was said you're absolutely right i mean it's it's definitely a mixed bag i mean there are. changes painful for some and i've come across my time in russia veteran so i think it should be better taken care of by the state they gave him. everything and i don't think in many cases they were given much power and

i think it's a social issue even a political issue that has to be addressed here. when you're at the end when you are in your sixty's seventy's eighty's ninety's or you know it's a bit difficult to contribute to society society has to help you out so. to provide a decent lead. in about a minute or so the troops over the world exits the red square and we should see some military hardware sort of jail hope they're going to help us out of the u.s. so i can say i can ice a tank in a plane that's about it ok. viewers of r t and they are being treated to this wonderful parade and it's being also watched all across the russian federation one of the if not one of the most the

most important day of the power under for russia this is a day of amazing unity. and good as i pointed out in the light of the recent political changes it's nice to have a day where everybody agrees. absolutely zero contribution. the last one because. formation of the parameters you must. never have. is one of the oldest things. brings people together for the principle. know we are supposed to. be a common. goal.

yeah. there were three.

military units we see here so. we can see. there's this modern stuff was or this been around for a while everybody always asked those questions so well it's nice isn't it isn't an old injury. armored personnel vehicle which probably in the. car they have

three men crews and they can marry up to seven. soldiers inside the rifleman. so this is no because these are. but they are eighty or eighty see. if you talk about the vintage given to just nineteen eighty-four or commission for the first time in the day still in the order. reflective effect because they are fighting. cross-country capacities direction. to be frank with you i used to write in one of those. in the princess. and the smugness override is fantastic it's like you're right you know what. i'm telling you so many wheels and suspension from. your true billet terry but i can tell

specially if you go cross-country you know and then in. english he told me. you know kind of takes the we have here it's two ninety. nine two times. so you are sort of upgraded to version so for to seventy two. and the. they have been they were commissioned in one thousand the ready you remember they're quite efficient and they're to the west are much lower than those of their competitors. and their competitors are much lighter as well so they have a mother like i move a lot faster better or they can move faster. and they have it so well but if i'm going to be the big now from both for the fire projectiles and it can also fire on the winter i wouldn't. their foreign country said by this kind of military you know

what i want a material i think show russia is an exporter of arms around the world i think it's number two. oh yeah you know. these are so worked out how with the. recall and. that's how we sort of. do two meters. and then the intent is to engage and destroy and be part. of that is conference emplacements in all. three it's kind of interesting as again remember you know both of us are child children of the cold war ok. so we're betraying our age a bit but. for a moment american perspective this parade used to be watched closely with them what the soviets have new this time ok and this is you know the criminology at all it is that the same thing today or is this just to show you know russia's military profile ok what i think mostly most was what you said it's mostly the show russian

military profile. most of these are these something modern i'm not sure about probably do want to be from missiles that are no reason to be in. a mission that's another story or proof for. coming back to this point they were still propelled into how exposed they have been to raise money. looks quite formidable. and tiger. systems. are only two groups. if you want to you know would rush should be it is a kind of military with material that would be sold abroad yes it could be americans get really upset when the regular russians sell this to some people because i think you know what i'm getting a kick out of some of them still interviewing. the. because you still need to have

it and if you don't have it from there you can look for that. it's going to be arms market is going to. be destroyed as there are gay this is the sixty seventh anniversary or a victory parade on the red square. in progress where we saw the troops first and now we see it was hard. to say for you know who to be enter who are. opening the parade was president vladimir putin. today signed into the bed of minister of russia. this is the first major event mr putin recited over since his return. then maybe in some ways quite fitting this is an event for all russians whatever your political persuasion wherever you are whatever your income your clients were everywhere this is one of them that already made enormous

progress. if you find i have few words about those fearful significant sunny day on himself. into a crowd got a missile systems we call them bugs that this was. all sort of made that it is a safe one to break down. become by both fire power problem guns actual not use them. know next to these ones aren't. and so the four hundred twenty. known as the next one one road. user driven effect and their profit system so they can gauge targets and all kind of. it ranges up to four hundred kilometers would be a ballistic missiles from behind her sonic missions and. also being over effective against twenty countermeasures not in the numbers. i mean where x. is going to fix. things. welcome or something we're going to gauge up but it's part

of it and. it's. the sides of this particular. snow white almost. they were commissioned so this is some of the newest rich area that we've seen in this. kind of have. known and. this is one of the yes and this is something that russia is that it will lloyd. you know as a counter measure if the united states and its allies in nato proceed with an abysmal defense in europe a strong very contentious issue between russia and nato. i don't see any real good

resolution anytime soon. to putin coming back as president you know his position and we see that there is nato is very unquote in mind what they've been dealing with russia on their side this will defense. obviously russia sees anti-missile defense directed against itself not just countries like you know. so to be resolved what. kind of recap here we see the parade started out with president putin starting the great inspection of the troops and then we've got fourteen thousand troops from the spine but we're seeing new and not so new military hardware in the us. and i will correct mine. topol i. and they didn't mention made of these so that's

just one seven. parades like this remind the russian people in the world that russia remains a formidable military power that it will defend its borders and neighborhood in these very troubled. right. just with a few things it's just one sentence they are all from competent or supported by. many so links armored vehicles into the realm of these other these are. slightly smaller and. more than the figure they first saw but there are more units that are in constant purposes with the full open. armored personnel vehicles that are beginning of the police.

and they can help there we go fly over i started or there would be a serious big fight your words my mates going to crawford. just mentioning that you are in terms of some. very serious they like to remind our viewers that being a resident of moscow you very rarely see anything in russia moscow's airspace when these helicopters are by it really surprises people because it's a closed air space so not today very populated there's space here as we see these helicopters go by carrying banners so obviously. just to have a line to the speed of the city coffers for you know it's kind of columbus for all . and they have space by fifty meters from the.

the parade is beginning to wind down here it will see a fly over of plays at least tradition on eyes there's all these different problems just a composition of. variations every single year but more or less as the city of the city remember a tragic tragic events of nine hundred forty one of the forty five with the soviet union lost twenty seven million people in the conflict against nazi germany and its ours was the conflict against fascism and save europe. which is quite poignant today if you look at the political situation in the european union and abroad the right is coming back up and something russia is watching very very careful. and she's. one of the interesting things we saw during this period is that every single

generation alive today in russia we've seen all collectively remember. the great loss that. involved the musicians in the one hundred of them. somebody that. marching. from many different units. to the close of the parade here the sixty seventh anniversary of the day it was the second world war and. it's one quite traditional turn it probably continues one of them can and. will be. made in farewell the most popular russian march. for him i'm sure everyone knows that this country and russia. made them sick.

looking these old beautiful pictures of a bridge for me the courage of our viewers to learn more about the second world war a great comfort to the soviet union. with the monsters a. story that needs to be told better the western. world we could come to the end of the parade here so to give thank you very much for being with us. beautiful event here great event to. russia on this fifth thank you for inviting me home i was hopeful.

will you join me here on moscow's red square with the victory day parade has just come to a close celebrating the sixty seventh anniversary of the role the soviet union played in the defeat of nazi germany. to now the great lasted for just around an hour an hour in length and it was opened.
