Every year we honor the memory of the fallen, and every year on May 9, together with the veterans arrive at the monument to pay tribute to the fallen, with the responsibility to say, "We remember ..."

After the collapse of the Soviet Union on May 9 parade on Red Square were not carried out before the anniversary in 1995. Then in Moscow were two parades: the Red Square (on foot) and Poklonnaya Hill (with troops and military equipment).

Since then, the parades on Red Square became an annual event - but without military equipment. Since 2008, the parade was again held with the participation of military equipment, including military aviation.
