3:40 am
regiment and since 2012 its seen marches not only nationwide but also far beyond russia's borders to this year of course the pandemics put a stop to major public gatherings but where there's a will there's a way that's going to cross this daniel hawkins is covering the immortal regiment for a stand i'm mourning how is the immortal regiment march going to happen this year than. morning kevin quite rightly of course the main event people look forward to and wasco is that right on red square where ilya was that iraq looking today of course because of what's going on and that you can't hold a virtual right unfortunately with tanks with soldiers but you can have a virtual parade with the immortal regiment like you said this is a tradition that's been happening in russia since 2012 that began in the small quiet small russian submarine city of tomsk with a group of journalists simply as a gesture and over the last 8 years it has absolutely ballooned to become not only a national but
3:41 am
a global event to give you an idea last year over $110.00 countries held this to mosul regiment launched over 500 cities with millions taking part in russia and tens hundreds of thousands more all around the well done this is really an event that seeks to restart increasingly big gap between the veterans of course of whom there are small of fewer and fewer each year and their ancestors their kids their grandkids who seek to honor their memory and to thank them for the sacrifice they gave 75 years ago of course this year was the diamond jubilee of the victory over nazi germany and not by 145 i can tell you i've been there for a couple of years on red square and as fantastic and amazing it is to go home let alone a g.b. the military part of the parade you know this is something that really pulls out the heart strings being millions of people walk past flowers in this military part
3:42 am
of upgraded over what quickly but this immortal regiment march takes place for most of the day and seeing these people of all generations you know little children i would portray so of their great grandparents who fought many of whom died in the war really is. sites not is being held online in russia that's yet people of submits in the portraits and stories of their relatives who fought in the on line and they will be sweeping through the country a lot you can see on the screen there from eastern russia it's a western russia russia of course has many time zones and that will be taking place through most of the day it's going to take most of the day if not longer to get through will list some missions redness than have been 2000000 submissions this year of people sending math photos and stories of their loved ones are not slow at all at 7 pm tonight people are also being encouraged to open their windows go out
3:43 am
on the balconies and hold the photos of their loved ones i'm saying a song again but be a day it's called victory day popular a wartime song in russia which effectively really compass is all this day has come to mean for russians the bittersweet joy the sacrifice the difficulties those generations went through and really the son of bray shouldn't all of the sacrifices those people made that will be taking place at 7 pm tonight people singing that song and song of course i music is one of the medium's how the russian people all of the memory of those fallen on are of those times i'm again this is something that has really transcended cultures aboard as across the world as far as australia we over the last few days have cal called up with a choir from the small town of one of the bimby in new south wales the disc the strain a quiet. man bands who have really become passionate about russian wartime revolutionary
3:44 am
songs and have really become quite a global hit this is some of what they've been producing. paula time to. salt to issue the post of the new boy. oh. come on dude. this is for the sake of the whoa whoa whoa. nice response of the. whole. lot so you have had a number of very interesting social media projects through on a celebration one of the most people writing letters and cooling will but friends from across russia to show their gratitude shoes and hear their stories another one was of course that musical project we recorded the choir all singing all recording
3:45 am
that song individually putting them into a you have virtual choir very similar to the water regiment and of course as i'm a bit of a music fan as well i decided to see if i can hold titian because of course these singers have been invited to saying on the 2020 may day all in this case whenever it does happen parade in moscow that invite still stands and when they do come i wanted to see if i'm good enough to perhaps join in and be lucky enough to perform with them so this was them in all studio just a couple of days back. podium conky got off the solo they should be flawless and it needed a little hollow to hold ha come. usually for the v.j. to go. home out of. the. news the sun heated.
3:46 am
i still don't know how that would actually went i'm still waiting for for the results from andrew and adrian but i hope those good enough suits and maybe join in one day should they come to moscow and we spoke to anderson adrian about the reception they have had from russians they told us their inbox is the social media the comments i've just been inundated from people you know expressing this joy and maison and that's how you know a small group of music enthusiastic australia have really managed to touch so many hearts and minds across the world this is what they told us about their story being able to celebrate the end of the war is a marvelous thing and to remember the suffering that was always involved and that seems to really say it just as a song as much as what it is really saying in
3:47 am
a moving place and i think music particularly in the exchange of cultures is art it's uplifting and it brings hope we've also had a lot of private messages sorry if i spoke of trump a poll. in russia who said things like i cried i have you know i used to sing this song with my grandparents at family gatherings . people have been very very kind to us. the same we will be much singing at 7 pm and beyond here in russia and although it's very hard to imagine moscow russia without that's not my parade of course remember it's been going on the 1st one was actually during wartime this parade itself stems back to the way in historical traditions when soldiers marched through red square on the way to the battle of moscow they went straight from the parade to the front where many of them gave
3:48 am
their lives defending the capital the next victory parade was held in 125 think june 20 years later another 20 years later and it's only in recent times this has become quite a staple of the russian national tradition and culture as ilya said earlier the biggest press will the biggest day of celebration in the russian holiday calendar. the question of when it will be this year is not if rather than when. president putin has said that a celebration will go ahead not only the parade all of this the more full regiment also as well and for many as impressive as the parade is this i'm also resident is one of the most important part because for many russians this really is something that is set in history and their heart's in their emotions there's not one family in the country who didn't have ancestors who fought in the war he weren't affected
3:49 am
who didn't have someone who probably died in the water when the 7000000 said soviet citizens gave their lives defending the world from fascism so for them. the chance to take part on the on the ground or online in this fantastic celebration is fantastic mark of respect to those who fought and died really is something special and this online translation we broadcast on social media on television all throughout the day with people paying their respects to those who gave so much all those years ago. and what a fine voice you got didn't realize our hidden talent their good stuff thanks for taking us through that and then we'll come back to for some more later ots down hawkins. every war veteran has a gripping story to tell and we wanted you to get in touch with these heroes so we contacted as many as we could find for our victory e-mail project then we asked you
3:50 am
to send them letters and messages of thanks which you did thank you for it here is some of those heartfelt letters of appreciation and most of them of already been sent on to the veterans for a cause with this whole. thing someone got stuck with us because of the situation but as soon as we can get them on to the veterans we surely will i just wanted latinka look at these so much care and love letters we received coming from from different corners of the world look let's take a look at that a bit more detail that's the same george ribbon by the way on wearing it as well history there of course is that it's very synonymous now with the whole commemorations for victory day it's thought to be derived from the black and the black of gunpowder in the a yellow or fire look there's the yellow trickle a little love and care on that one these are coming from all over the place this is coming from the usa from again the usa from china or another letters come in from our aussie cause so it's really it's really there and there's this one that's come
3:51 am
in for a guy in the u.k. now if you've not taken part yet but you want to join in you still can there's an address coming up now in a 2nd after you've heard the story of one of the veterans who's on the receiving end of this his name is ernie davis no he like my own dad served in britain's role navy in his day and served on the arctic convoys which braved german air raids to deliver much needed military equipment and food to the u.s.s.r. . as in this side as song really guy was at so i'm churchill say it was one of the worst journeys in the world and. the utmost respect for them.

you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's man or woman. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in
