  • Это была великая армия, к сожалению, от нее ничего не осталось.

  • Престарелое Политбюро ЦК КПСС ,в любую погоду в дождь или снег с морозами принимала военный парад стоя на трибуне мавзолея В.И Ленина .Нынешние правители современной " демократической " России ,принимают военные парады развалившись вельможно на стульях под мавзолеем Ленина ,который закрывает деревянная ширмочка в виде нынешнего флага. Даже их гражданине встречают их ,с криками ура и аплодисментами как встречали Политбюро ЦК КПСС когда оно подевалось на трибуну мавзолея Ленина .

  • It's a memorial video very good,I give my thanks to you,my good comrade(Red Samurai 84).The Soviet Union military forces were stronger than The United States military forces in that time(at Cold War).If possible is to you put The Soviet October Revolution Parade(1982). É um vídeo memorial muito bom,eu dou o meu agradecimento para você,meu bom camarada(Samurai Vermelho 84).Se é possivel para você,coloque a Parada da Revolução Soviética de Outubro(1982).

  • @eduardoandrade2008 I unfortunately do not have 1982 at the moment. Thats the most requested one!
