When they had 160 divisions with in spitting distance of the Elbe, this was threatening. When they have 60 divisions behind the Neiman this is a farce.

Hey, all right, the bad ol' days of the Cold War are back! Will the parade also include Soviet slogans and banners emblazoned with images of Lenin and Marx too?

My take is that the parade is being resumed to provide a boost in morale.
Putin has a problem that is his people, The race is dying and must be encouraged to have faith in themselves and propagate.

Back in the days when Russia meant something, they could at least get their propaganda parade going on May Day (May 1), instead of May 9.
To: TigerLikesRooster
During the heyday of the Cold War the Soviet Union dedicated two complete tank divisions, the Taman and the Kantimir Guards divisions, to the May Day parade. They literally did nothing for 364 days a year except practice for the parade. I wonder if Putin is dedicating the same resources to this.

Yeah, Saddam was real big into stuff like this, too.

If you’re secure in your military might, you don’t need to advertise.

If they’re so nostalgic for the Soviet Union, they should all be made to wait five hours in subzero temperatures for a roll of toilet paper.

The interesting part of the parade was who stood on the reviewing stand and where they stood.

Putin is a Stalinist, so I suppose he’ll be wearing a uniform and waving at the parade like Stalin in the old newsreels. What’s next, doctored photos with blank spots where the purge victims once were?
