@sovietrevolution1 He is most possibly an ambasitor invited from an African country that Russia has formed good ties with. He is obviously not russian because yes he is black, but also he is sitting amoungst the general civil audiance. If he were an actual military general than he would be seen with other military brass.
I always admire the Russians. Their will to fight on no matter what is what make them such feared opponents. With out the Russians World War II would have been a lot different.
Wonderful! My father gave his life for Russia. He died young due to injuries when his Roay Navy ship was sunk by the Luftwaffe, en route to Murmansk to take supplies to the Red Army in 1942. We were in Tanzania when he died, & I was 5 years old. See my video on youtube. This parade gives me goose-pimples!
@speakswahilidammit My grandfather got arrested for getting really drunk in russia after he got some sort of medal from them for killing a tons of nazis, but long story short he got drunk and pissed on a statue of stalin, put in jail by the russians for about a month till they realized he was american and they had to let him go.
@speakswahilidammit my father in law served with the royal navy and was on the murmansk convoys. hopefully they will be together in heaven, having fun and talking about the old days..lol sailors will be sailors.
@mc0558 The US army is in the process of discontinuing the green uniform. The blue dress uniform is retainned. There is also a less formal version of the blue uniform called the class B service blue uniform.
@mc0558 well the marines have the best uniform in the Us military but because they werent in the european and this company or battalion was the one in berlin and shock hands with the russians over elbe
the kremlin was so buetiful peter the great had the architect blinded so he couldn't make another thing more buetiful than it. He was a crazy guy but thats poletics
@xxDrudgeryReportxx I agree. There are so many immature people who think we should be enemies. it gets so annoying that youtube is full of insane nationalists.
The Preobrazhenski March has also been adopted as the Regimental Slow March by the ROYAL MARINES, having been presented by their Captain-General Lord Mountbatten whose family has strong connections with the Russian Imperial family.
russia have every right to celebrate victory over nazi germany as that beast was crushed on may 9 th and in the first year of victory over the reich the nazi banners were thrown before stalin and russia america and britain owe russia everything for defeating nazi germany
I'm not a fan of military parades but given that I'm EXTREMELY well read and knowledged about the scope and immensity of the "Great Patriotic War" I can't knock the Russians for holding their May military parades.
The huge vast majority of Americans don't have the faintest clue of the immensity, the scale, the barbarity, and the inhumanity of the war fought between the Soviet Union and the nazi *INVADERS*: the most massive war ever fought in history.
man, the USA should throw a big parade like this for all the vets when the wars are officially over. All the way through Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House and the Capitol, through all of Washington D.C.
this isnt about ego , or boasting , its about honoring those who fought for russia, thats why, russia had the most causualties of the war, and saw 80 percent of the combat , every family in russia has at least lost one person to that war, so let themmarch
The Mexican parede of the 16 of september is the best of the best in parade militaries in the World, please, watchin the videos of Mexican parede militar of the 16 of september, is the best in parades ¡¡
@SINStrykerSF Remember this is the Victory Day parade so it's only fair to show the Soviet flag since the whole of the soviet union made huge sacrifices to fight the Nazi, not only Russia. So this is more like a tribute.
hello, from England, i saw a video once of russian military and the music was a good song but only know a few words of it but would like to know what song of Russia it is>>> Hey now mamous remember hey , remember mama-rou. sorry if it doesnt make sense i spelt it how it sounded to me in english, x
@xingwangbao sooooooooooooo .... Does it Matter .... They are both allies .... They are both becoming Superpowers .... They both do good and well desciliped Parades (Russia is faster, China is more kind of Militaric ) .... They are both in BRIC, They are both in SCO .... Russia takes prides in doing this parades and so does China .... Russia has a varied range of Uniforms ... Russia has more people taking parts in Parades every year .... This isn't Bad ... Imagine you being there parading , stfu
Even when we thought we were enemies I always enjoyed watching Russian Military Marching. Have several acquaintances who were born in Russia but escaped, communism. PEOPLE are pretty much the same everywhere. There are good and bad. Good & bad even in military. Right now I might prefer living in Russia to the U.S. because we have some very evil folks here trying to bring what destroyed Russia. Leadership of nations is always THE problem.
May God bless the Russian and the American people.
That Red flag is VICTORY flag (not exactly USSR state flag - similar but not the same ) Like it or not but Victory flag it IS RED one. If Germany won that war then yes Germany could marsh using the Nazi flag .... as well as like many other countries would have to march with Nazi flag
i love russia, my beloved wife is russian, but as an ex military man i find these russian d&c guys lacking. if you look at brit or american drill and then this, well, our ruski comrads are poorly lacking.
Why do they call the first march the "Preobrazhenskiy" march? Preobrazhensky was the early Soviet economist who devised the principle of "Socialist Primitive Accumulation."
@neosoc Preobrazhenskiy Polk.... during late 1600 Peter the great while being a teenager made two "play" army's one of them was Preobrazheskiy, its consider to be the first Regiment of Guards... later on they are the one who help him to overthrow his older sister and get the throne. The name stuck till this day, Preobrazhenskiy Polk is one of the honorable Regiment of Guards, and they have their own way of marching/ drills. Therefore the name of Regiment transfered to the name of march.
@rmorecook No, that is the victory flag, the actual physical flag they raised over the reichstag at the end of the battle of berlin. If you look closly you'll notice it isn't the flag of the soviet union, but is, in fact, the flag of the 150th Rifle Division, 79th Rifle Corps, 3rd Shock Army, Belorussian Front, the unit that captured the center of Berlin. They do not use the soviet flag for historical purposes because the soviet union killed millions of innocent people. They admit that.
north koreans are perfection, but they only kick their legs, which makes their soldiers look unbalanced. I think the Chinese works more on making it look better.
Russians rule in pomp and grandiosityl. When the pipes and drums appear, it's spectacular! Reminds me the French in the movie Waterloo, when the Old Guard head toward the British. Wow! Chinese rule in precision marching. They are eye-popping perfect. BTW, d biggest parades in youtube, see Yemeni army; like one million marchers! 50 men shoulder to shoulder. Incredible numbers!! Never knew Yemen had so many!
If you ask me, it would just be plain better if the leaders would sit in the right place: on top of Lenin's tomb. It would be a lot more authentic and less post-soviet fake.
@ rmorecook - I did look at the Korean marching. You are right, they are brilliant. Imagine the months upon months of practising required. Had my share of military marching and know what it takes. The level of almost robotic precision marching by the Chinese and Koreans does,nt get the credit it deserves. Thats extremely hard work. Impressive as it may be, only communists like China, Russia and N/Korea are into this army parading. All 3 have copied the old Prussian goose step marching.
It is the gratest day in Russian History. We won against fascist Germany every May 9th we celebrate. And this parade is dedicated to our fallen soldiers and our army.
i don't exatly know what you mean, but if you are talking about the goose step: it's a prussian invention which has been taken over by many nations worldwide, though in this case the russians copied the germans.
btw germany and russia had many shared military traditions and influenced each other
awbvrou , you need to thinking on the another hand , russians parade NOT for their leaders , that is a pride of their race & history . that is why ,after many terrible frustrations. russians as a nation can survive and even more stronger than before.
@awbvrou i kno, just compared the vids, and the chinese have imense dedication to whatever they set their minds to , its pretty amazing seeing them all in sync when they march
pfft, we dont do parades like these because liberals, hippies and politically correct cunts will bitch and moan about taxpayers money and that showing guns or any love for your country is bad.
all while immigrants flood our borders, kids drop out of school and ruin our future.
parades like these aernt just shows of force, they are a rallying point for the nation and a source of pride, without such causes people stop caring, get slack and the country as a whole corrodes from the inside out
What do you want from 17-years old kids? Also, they are marching very professional. They looks like humans, not like chineese robots lol (I don't want to abuse chineese military, just for me their goose steps looks funny)
Chinese "precison marching" - you mean goose stepping in a straight line to shit, monotonous music? try looking up the Royal Marines, or best of all, the King's Garde Norway.
@awbvrou one nation tops china is the best marching, and its the nation with the next lowest human rights record...guessed it? North Korea, The airing games displays are incredible, probably so good because if they get it wrong, its the last mistake they will ever make.
@awbvrou first of all militray parads r triditions..they put on a military parade in every special ocasions...they dont just do this out of the blues..
@awbvrou You are missing the whole point of these parades. It's not to show the military power, it is to remember the horrible events and years of WWII, to honor the veterans and all those military servicemen that fell in battle. Also, it is made to show that Russia is always ready to respond to a threat. So, could you please use some analytical thinking before calling anyone an amateur, and commenting about democracy, empires and dictatorships. You are just showing your shallowness with that.
That's what this parade was for, to celebrate the Russian victory over Germany during World war 2. Russia has had this parade every year since 1945 and they used to have a similar one in November celebrating Lenin's revolution, but that one ended in 1990.
Guys, we in the U.S. do not parade our military in this fashion. Parading a military like this is what empires (or wannabe empires do). They like to display the "might" of their military. The U.S. military may be the most powerful on Earth, but we do not have parades where the President and VP and so forth stand and we have tanks rolling by displaying the glory and might of America. We are a republic.
Russian people have a different way of thinking than Americans, so in my opinion Americans don't feel a military parade mistic as Russians, in Russia parades were and are so traditional. It doesn't mind if Americans think parades are for empires or something like that, parades are the Russian proud
It's not that the U.S. thinks these parades are for empires or anything, it's just that throughout history we Americans have had a love/hate relationship with our military. We like its protection, but we don't want to see it. "Speak softly, carry a big stick" is our doctrine.
I can explain more: for russians military service this is not "killing" or "ass-kicking" or "I wanna join military to be a badass guy", just Russia has conscription and every male serving. Military service is so usual for russian as going to school, it's a part of life of every man. Russia has an old popular song, it's named "Army-this is me"
You have to stay at the National Hotel just off of Red Square and watch form the balcony, as Red Square is off limits to civilians during these parades.
Discipline to march in parades is one thing. Discipline in actual battle is quite another. Want to see perfection in a mil parade? Look at the Chinese. Marching little machines, they are. Give me good 'ole capitilist freedom and a non-robotic military anyday. The ability to shift and change tactics in a split second is what wins battles. Not how well you look on a parade ground.
I wonder if there is full length version of the Victory march of the Red Army in 1945, the one where the Nazi Flags were thrown to the ground before Stalin, I always thought that was cool.
An imperial parade. You Russians are the only rightful successors of the Byzantine Greeks' Empire and its glory. You have added to that glory all these centuries with your achievements in all fields. You are the only ones who are really entitled to bear the Byzantine Greek emblem of the Double-headed Eagle, which symbolizes power and domimance to the East and to the West.

@ rmorecook - I did look at the Korean marching. You are right, they are brilliant. Imagine the months upon months of practising required. Had my share of military marching and know what it takes. The level of almost robotic precision marching by the Chinese and Koreans does,nt get the credit it deserves. Thats extremely hard work. Impressive as it may be, only communists like China, Russia and N/Korea are into this army parading. All 3 have copied the old Prussian goose step marching.

It is the gratest day in Russian History. We won against fascist Germany every May 9th we celebrate. And this parade is dedicated to our fallen soldiers and our army.

i don't exatly know what you mean, but if you are talking about the goose step: it's a prussian invention which has been taken over by many nations worldwide, though in this case the russians copied the germans.
btw germany and russia had many shared military traditions and influenced each other

Check out the thread on Chinese Military
Parade. Nobody, but nobody equals the
Chinese in absolute precision marching.
It`s unbeleivable. Russian marching is like amateurs in comparison. On the other
hand, huge military parades with many marching men displaying so called power, might & weaponry is ok with em-
pires, dictatorships & wannabe powers.
It does`nt belong with real democratic countries & real powers. Those don`t need ego boosting parades and patting themselves on the back.

awbvrou , you need to thinking on the another hand , russians parade NOT for their leaders , that is a pride of their race & history . that is why ,after many terrible frustrations. russians as a nation can survive and even more stronger than before.

@awbvrou
It depends on who (which soldiers) does the parade!! Parade is not only precision marching or goose-stepping march with robotic movements!!
These kind of parades show ( might, prestige, history, pride, memories, firmness, suffering, national unity, inspiration, glory etc,.. to call a few!!
That gives Russian parades uniqueness!!
What has Chinese soldiers achieved in the last centuries??
It depends very much which soldiers does the parade!!

pfft, we dont do parades like these because liberals, hippies and politically correct cunts will bitch and moan about taxpayers money and that showing guns or any love for your country is bad.
all while immigrants flood our borders, kids drop out of school and ruin our future.
parades like these aernt just shows of force, they are a rallying point for the nation and a source of pride, without such causes people stop caring, get slack and the country as a whole corrodes from the inside out

@awbvrou You are missing the whole point of these parades. It's not to show the military power, it is to remember the horrible events and years of WWII, to honor the veterans and all those military servicemen that fell in battle. Also, it is made to show that Russia is always ready to respond to a threat. So, could you please use some analytical thinking before calling anyone an amateur, and commenting about democracy, empires and dictatorships. You are just showing your shallowness with that.

Weird but it looks a lot like the parade of the vitory of WW2 in moscow.
Hyperion121 1 year ago 2
That's what this parade was for, to celebrate the Russian victory over Germany during World war 2. Russia has had this parade every year since 1945 and they used to have a similar one in November celebrating Lenin's revolution, but that one ended in 1990.

Guys, we in the U.S. do not parade our military in this fashion. Parading a military like this is what empires (or wannabe empires do). They like to display the "might" of their military. The U.S. military may be the most powerful on Earth, but we do not have parades where the President and VP and so forth stand and we have tanks rolling by displaying the glory and might of America. We are a republic.

CharlesVariations 1 year ago
Russian people have a different way of thinking than Americans, so in my opinion Americans don't feel a military parade mistic as Russians, in Russia parades were and are so traditional. It doesn't mind if Americans think parades are for empires or something like that, parades are the Russian proud

@RomelioSanz
It's not that the U.S. thinks these parades are for empires or anything, it's just that throughout history we Americans have had a love/hate relationship with our military. We like its protection, but we don't want to see it. "Speak softly, carry a big stick" is our doctrine.

I can explain more: for russians military service this is not "killing" or "ass-kicking" or "I wanna join military to be a badass guy", just Russia has conscription and every male serving. Military service is so usual for russian as going to school, it's a part of life of every man. Russia has an old popular song, it's named "Army-this is me"

You have to stay at the National Hotel just off of Red Square and watch form the balcony, as Red Square is off limits to civilians during these parades.

Discipline to march in parades is one thing. Discipline in actual battle is quite another. Want to see perfection in a mil parade? Look at the Chinese. Marching little machines, they are. Give me good 'ole capitilist freedom and a non-robotic military anyday. The ability to shift and change tactics in a split second is what wins battles. Not how well you look on a parade ground.

An imperial parade. You Russians are the only rightful successors of the Byzantine Greeks' Empire and its glory. You have added to that glory all these centuries with your achievements in all fields. You are the only ones who are really entitled to bear the Byzantine Greek emblem of the Double-headed Eagle, which symbolizes power and domimance to the East and to the West.
Greeks like me are proud of you!
