Russian President Putin today attended Serbia's first military parade since the Federal Socialist Republic Of Yugoslavia 29 years ago. It commemorates the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade.

The two countries Russia and Serbia, share a common history, ties of culture and language and a common Orthodox faith. They were allies in both world wars.

For Russians and Serbs, the friendship is an enduring one.

How quick they forget the enslavement, and the iron fist of the Soviet Union.

apparently the Serbian military don’t go in for the outsized caps (the so-called “Pinochetka”) favored by the Russians..

You're obviously not all that up on Yugoslav-Soviet relations. They were hardly warm.

Long connection between Serbia and Russia. And what’s happened in Kosovo bears on Putin’s mind in what he does.
