Soviet Victory Parade of 1945 [Part I]

Moscow Victory Parade of 1945 was a victory parade held after the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. It took place in the Soviet capital of Moscow, mostly centering around a military parade through Red Square. The parade took place on a rainy June 24, 1945, over a month after May 9th, the day of Germany's surrender to Soviet commanders.

Marshals Georgy Zhukov, who had formally accepted the German surrender to the Soviet Union, and Konstantin Rokossovsky, rode through the parade ground on white and black stallions, respectively. The fact is commemorated by the equestrian statue of Zhukov in front of the State Historical Museum, on Manege Square. The Premier of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin stood atop of Lenin's Mausoleum and watched the parade.

Displays of the Red Army aircraft and vehicles were some of the focal points of the ceremony. One of the most famous moments at the end of the troops parade took place when various Red Army soldiers carried the banners of Nazi Germany and threw them down next to the Mausoleum. One of the standards that were tossed down belonged to the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, Hitler's personal bodyguard raised to divisional size.

I'm not a communist, I was not born in USSR, but when I look these soldiers, I feel proud. This video is taken 1 month after ww2 was over, do you people ever realize what these people have gone through? How much they suffered? Obviously Stalin was no angel, but how would a world look today if Hitler won? Even germans tried to kill Adolf, but they couldn't. If Stalin wouldn't sacrifice milions of soviet lives to win, there would be no cold war or Cuba crisis, because there would be no USA either!

Soviet Union in the 80's and the Soviet Union during and after WW2 are two different countries.

Too bad it was a rainy day, but nothing can stop the Red Army.

They had only a non-aggression pact. There was no peace. Stalin knew also Hitler will cheat, but he thought it would happen later.

@fuzinho1 Stalin and Hitler were allies until the attacks of Germany against the USSR

I dont know. since the internet we all have access to worlwide information, information that we couldnt get or know before the rise of the internet. I search for the truth, and i think that i found something. It can be false, or truth, but i continue to search. What i try to tell is, that i dont believe all things that are told to me, since i was born. Some things are not told to the people, and i want the truth, and only the truth.
