March of the Life Guards Preobrajensky Regiment

[d034607]

Love this march. It was Lord Mountbatten's favorite as well - used to introduce the old BBC documentary about his life.

Makes Sousa's marches sound like mere sprightly tunes.

U.S.S.R March Ishmail Regiment is the! greatest march or all time

[DuseikaLT]

[Maverick110290]

I would very much like to be the Tsar and make the european leaders kiss my feet like any other lackey.

[DamnControl2]

Another nice view..

[ASTAknirac]

Němci dívejte se, to je prapor Vítězství, v roce 1945 vlál nad Reichstagem v Berlíně. Nikdy na to nezapomínejte !!!

[RumboDumbo]

A great march !

[Leutnant82]

Sehr schön! Super Videos!

Kameradschaftlichen Gruß

[NarodnieMstiteli]

It's not the ideology. A fine march is a fine march, period. Music can't think. If it's good, we play it.

[PrivateEccles]

Bullshit!

It's definitely is NOT the same tune as the

"Königgrätzer"!

It used to be the REgimental March of the oldest REgiment of Russian Foot Guards raised by Peter the Great, a long time before the Battle of Königgrätz!

It is also the Regimental Slow March of the ROYAL MARINES!

@PrivateEccles  это марш Преображенского полка

[WR12MSH]

@PrivateEccles They are similar though. Both are very catchy tunes.

[PrivateEccles]

@WR12MSH Sorry! I withdraw the drastic "bullshit"!

[WR12MSH]

@PrivateEccles It's alright. But do you agree?

[PrivateEccles]

@WR12MSH Yes, I do. Again sorry for my untypical comment!

[WR12MSH]

@PrivateEccles It's alright.

At least the red banner flies high over imperialist garbage music which in any case they shouldn't play on victory day over the defeat of nazism

[DrKorn5]

shut it Red

[bigguy49b]

and your problem is?

[bigguy49b]

Do you know why the Russian nation is celebrating this day? the victory of the Red Army over Nazism and Facism,i cant recall the tri colour flag being hoisted over the reichstag,my recollection was the red banner being hoisted there and really its got nothing to do with Idealogywhether it be red or white its only patriotism and remembering those who died defending the U S S R at that time ok!!!! you Dingbat

[biancademonet]

BRAVO!!! Let us not forget the bravery and determination of Russia and her people to be free from oppression. May Russia and America always remain friends. Two great nations with more in common than they realize. Russia expanded eastward....America to the west....Today who stands as two of the GREAT POWERS? Russia and USA. Now with Bush gone may our friendship be strengthened!

[wishwizard]

@biancademonet Dont Forget Australia, Australia needs better ties with Russia also but i think our american ties are too strong to be broken nowdays.

[Sundialonthejob]

Good comment. The Russians may have had a poor government, but that doesn't detract from the incredible bravery and accomplishments of the military in defeating the fascists.

They rightfully celebrate the victory and we can all be grateful for that victory.

@bigguy49b What does dingbat mean?

[Svechka]

Thus use of imperial music and "commie symbols" here signifies for me a lasting might of Russian nation and its victories, not its commie gov or other things.

Can't defy history, gotta remember it for the sake of avoiding further similar mistakes. Besides, every country has its own skeleton in a cupboard, right? Wanna delve in there? I suggest abandoning picking each other's teeth and focus on lasting things - peace, cooperation, humanism! :-)

[Amoneth]

Id rather see the tsar and Putin on the platform. The trar would have saluted them being the commander in chief of the russia.

[Svechka]

Ces't la vie. You can't change history.

Russian nation helped by other nations annexed by the USSR won the WWII. Yes, that was the flag used then. But what does it change - country government/regime is a temporary thing, but the notion of Motherland is lasting, that's what we fought for...

I hope it clarifies.

[suarneduj]

Imperial music in the shade of commie symbols :(
