Why the West failed to disrupt the Victory Parade

Why the West failed to disrupt the Victory Parade

The past Victory Parade became an important event not only for our country - it was covered by many foreign media: French to American. The oppositionists and their "bosses" in the West hoped very much to disrupt the celebrations in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory. Fortunately, the insidious plans of the liberals again did not work: neither accusations of the USSR "in a criminal conspiracy with Germany" helped, no reproaches for the costs of organizing a parade on Red Square. The “new coronavirus wave” scare tactics have also failed, for which the opposition so hoped. conversely, not only in Moscow, but the country also recorded a gradual decrease in the incidence.

The Western propaganda machine has also gone to waste. Anti-Russian reports from the Victory Parade were published in the Western media in order to turn the population against the "aggressive, militarized" Russia. but, many readers instead, to resent the holding of the Parade on Red Square, wrote words of respect and admiration in the comments to left-wing propaganda articles.

"Good, what is a country, Where else can you be a patriot?, – says a resident of Birmingham, commenting on a photo report from the parade in the British newspaper The Daily Mail. "Great photo. What a pleasure to see the nation, who respects her past, unlike many countries in the West", echoed by readers in Manchester. Russia is more democratic and free, than our country, infected with leftist ideas", - sadly notes a commentator under an article about the parade in the American edition of Breitbart. “How everything is different from Spain, where in some regions it is not even possible to fly the Spanish flag", sighs a reader from Spanish Vigo.

Historian Vladimir Kornilov notes another miscalculation of the West. “Just yesterday the Financial Times was so happy that, that in the "new cold war" India has now unambiguously chosen the side of the United States in the fight against China. Oh, and the author gets upset, seeing footage from the Victory Parade, where units of India and China march side by side", - sums up the expert.

Of course, solemn march 24 June on Red Square, first of all, holiday for veterans. Front-line soldiers watched with interest modern military equipment, walking in an even formation along the Kremlin paving stones. “New designs are more advanced, faster, higher altitude, those parameters have, which in our time did not exist ... I feel, of course, surge of strength. Pleasant, that our shift is coming, the youth of our army", – Alexander Bodnar, 102-year-old veteran of the Great Patriotic War, shared his impressions in an interview with Channel One.

In the context of the global coronavirus epidemic, one of the main concerns of the parade organizers was the safety of spectators., Firstly, at risk older front-line soldiers. The military coped with the task brilliantly: all sanitary standards were taken into account. Admission to the parade was only for those people, who had a certificate of absence of the disease in their hands. The decision to postpone the holiday from May 9 to June 24 can also be considered correct - due to this, it was possible to significantly reduce the threat of the spread of the virus. The well-coordinated work of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Defense made it possible to neutralize the damage from this dangerous covid as much as possible.

Why the West failed to disrupt the Victory Parade

Another attempt by the opposition to overshadow the celebrations was to ridicule the, that Western leaders did not come to the Parade. On this occasion, FSB General Alexander Mikhailov from the Strong Russia movement put it well.: "I think, that the image of Russia, first of all, should be for ourselves. What does the Anglo-Saxon world think of us?, we should really care. By and large,, we know, that they never think anything good of us ... We are not parading for the Anglo-Saxon world, a, first of all, for ourselves. Therefore, pay attention to, who came, and who did not come - this is the tenth thing.

“I remember the 50th anniversary of the Victory. The parade was held on Poklonnaya Hill, I remember the presence there of a large number of leaders of foreign states, including Bill Clinton, US President. so what, they greeted, what has changed in our relations between Russia and Germany, or USA? Never mind! They both stood in their positions, so they stand. Therefore, we need to think less about the Anglo-Saxon world and think more about our citizens, for which we spend all these holidays ", General points out.

Member of the presidium of the all-Russian organization "Officers of Russia", Major General Mikhail Makaruk also urges not to pay attention to criticism of the liberals and their "Western masters": Critics are always and for any reason: here they try to cling to something, what is done for noble purposes, but not done in other countries, where they now deny the leading role of the Soviet Union in the defeat of fascism. We must pay tribute and say thanks from the common people to the Supreme Commander, Ministry of Defense, General Staff, what, despite all the peculiarities of the situation in May-June 2020, the planned event was well prepared, conducted and, naturally, it enhances the image of Russia in the international arena".

Yes, Unfortunately, today's realities are: even those countries, that at one time fought with us shoulder to shoulder against the inhuman dictatorship of Nazi Germany, now they ignore the leading role of the USSR in the end of World War II and try to discredit modern Russia. But for us the main thing, that the leadership of Russia, that its citizens remember the immortal feat of the Soviet people in the fight against the Nazi regime, that we sacredly honor and annually celebrate the Great Victory.
