On war
The Nazis burnt his home to ashes,
His family they murdered there,
Where shall the soldier home from battle
Go now, to whom his sorrow bear?
He stood with tears of sorrow welling
And scarcely able breath to draw
He said: "Praskovya dear, come welcome
Your hero-husband back from war."
But in reply there came no answer,
No welcome for the soldier brave.
Only a breeze that way came glancing
And stirred the grass upon the grave...
He paused a while, his belt he strengthened,
And, from the kitbag at his side
A flask of bitter vodka taking,
He placed it on her grave and sighed.
The soldier drank and wept for many
A broken dream, while on his chest
There shone a newly-minted medal
For liberating Budapest...

С днём победы
What happened with the Front standards in this year's parade? I didn't see them, was I just blind?
Also, when a few soldiers marched in a line, each stopping in succession, it seems like the last one stopped too early (at the same time as the second last person). He seemed to grimace and started marching again to his spot. Must feel bad to mess that up on the big day after all the rehearsals.
Seems like Bakin was promoted and Gerasimov is the new commander of the Moscow military district.
victory parade. another perspective.

Was any of the new stuff shown on the parade?
Jaybe, that is one of the most powerful photos I have ever seen! Thank you so much for posting it!
About that poster in Sevastopol - it was made several years ago, not now, and not on 9th of May, but on some random date as a response to a NATO mission that visited Ukraine or Crimea (I don't remember which exactly)
Snoshi, there was S-400, it didn't participate in the parade before. But no T-95 or PAK-FA.
С Днем Победы, товарищи, УРА УРА УРА!!!
