Post relevant photos, videos, info and/or history snippets, not your badly disguised attempts to derail; we have had enough of your derail attempts in several other threads.

It is but natural that western nations will whinge.Western leaders putting down an invitation to this parade come across as so petty. What's being celebrated here is a military victory in which those western countries were on the same side as the Soviets. This could have been a good opportunity to talk.
Those westerners calling this parade a flop and Putin somehow "isolated," are even bigger brainwashed morons. The presidents of both India and China attended this event, apart from 18 other leaders. A majority of the world's population was represented in the parade by their leaders' attendance.
Well, it was the impression I got WHEN I WAS THERE. Is it not relevant to give first hand impressions? If not, then sorry.You went off the rails and spoke of other issues like why Russia wastes money on defence when Arctic shivers.
That is hardly a VE day issue, or is it?

India IMHO stole the parade, your soldiers march does credit for your country. Also great uniforms. IMHO Russia was on the right league with guests: India, Eurasian countries and African countries. No need for developed countries to take part in this propaganda stunt. Merkel was handling it well by remembering the victims next day.
If you think you could have won WWII without Russian help, you're even more delusional than I thought.India IMHO stole the parade, your soldiers march does credit for your country.

Actually my country was on the losing side . I give credit to Russia for defesting Nazi Germsny. The ptoblem is that Germany dealt with the past and is now one of the greatest countries. Russia has not dealt with past and is on a way to wrong direction.If you think you could have won WWII without Russian help, you're even more delusional than I thought.
The "right direction" would be submitting to the will of Washington, and exporting its resources, so the American life of excess could continue for another century? Nothxbai. The fact that Germany could do little in the wake of revelations of American spying on the Chancellor's office shows that Germany is Washington's bitch.Actually my country was on the losing side .

I might be in our mutual neighbour late June probably. Guess Finland can be seen across Lake Ladoga then. Consumption in St.P could be as costly as Paris according to a local (years ago).Actually my country was on the losing side . I give credit to Russia for defesting Nazi Germsny.
