The mood really warms, meanwhile the clock behind me shows the exact moscow time of 5 15, which means that before the main victory parade on krasnaya there is less than 5 hours left of the square, channel one will show it, and you cant miss this, friends, highclass professionals will do everything so that you dont miss a single detail. The main parade of the country, ours is already at the first one today. Yes, show it in such a way that it was just a feeling that you were present here and next to these people who are at the parade, those who go in boxes and those who deserve it, its their honor, our task is to discreetly show everything, and this is already an art, an hour of broadcasting , 2 months of preparation and a team half a thousand professionals, several hundred kilometers of cable, around the square under the square, above the square, more than sixty cameras on red square are swaying, but the team of the first is ready for any weather, if there is snow, hail, we have derzheviks, and we will dress warmly so as not to get wet , another highaltitude camera, specialists with mountaineering training can work here, the camera is mounted at a height of seventyfive meters, it moves along a rope system, here the distance is one of the largest this year, almost 900 m. We fly over two kremlin walls, we see the entire panorama of the heart of our homeland from angles that have never been shown before, such panoramas of the capital are our exclusive, this nimble baby too, the fastest camera of the parade is 90 km h. Due to its small size, you wont see it in the frame, it wont be on. A stamped step, sound from dozens of ultrasensitive microphones, so we can hear the breathing of red square, this is a mixing console, we collect everything here, we put it all in the right place we give time to the picture, largescale broadcast victory parade on channel one at 10 am. So, there are less than 5 hours left before the parade, and as we like to say, channel one has prepared the best places for its viewers, you will see everything. From the most unusual angles, but the first victory parade took place in the capital on june 24 , 1945, it was a triumph of the victorious people. The moscow victory parade on june 24, 1945 is rightly called legendary. Almost 40,000 participants then gathered on red square. But hes not the first. Even on may 4, after the capture of ristag in berlin, our troops. Marched in victory, in their own field tunics, in field uniform, they just managed to prepare it for the parade, they prepared it like that, they didnt even have time to rest. The news of the victory spread quickly. Suvorov veteran dmitry epefanov learned from his comrades. There was a terrible noise, a commotion, so pillows and a towel flew up. A little later there will be more good news. Parade in moscow, suvorov students are participating, excellent students, its easier for them to catch up with their studies. Among the frontline soldiers, those who distinguished themselves in battle will be able to pass through the ranks. While fighters from all fronts were being collected, there are at most two or three weeks of combat left. For comparison, now they prepare for the parade at least four months in advance. Thousands of soldiers still need to be dressed; several factories in moscow and the Moscow Region were working at once. Now the processes are automated. One suit is sewn in 2. 5 hours, in 1945 the figures were skyhigh. It was much more difficult for them, because they only had hands with great desire. A place for the singing tanker. The dress uniforms were sewn by new technicians, but they are according to the regulations, but you can immediately see who is in the ranks, the overalls were sewn directly for the parade shoulder straps, and officer uniforms require more than 40 hours of manual labor, this one is for marshal rakosovsky. On june 24 at 10 a. M. The parade began on red square; on the square, that means we stood with our backs to st. Basils church. Blessed, to the left of us stood the standard bearers, to the right the fountain dripped, with cold dew, we got wet. The fountain was erected on the place of execution especially for victory day, the parade columns were lined up in the same order as the battle fronts on the map first , the korelsky front was closed by the third ukrainian, then all the other troops, suvorovites penultimate, aligned to the right, which means the chest of the fourth person. In order to properly maintain the rank, when the music died down, hitlers banners flew to the ground to the beat of drums, perhaps the most impressive moment of the parade. They took 175 wehrmacht sss banners, and 25 banners from kayazrovskaya germany, a total of 200 out of 900. Neither the rain nor the fact that the aerial part of the parade was canceled due to weather, did not hinder the mood that day. But it was possible to consider. Its defense was included in all history textbooks and became a symbol of unprecedented courage and perseverance and the feat of our soldiers. The brest fortress bled to death, but did not surrender. This alarm clock stopped at about 4 a. M. On june 22, 1941. The nazis attacked soviet border guards. At 4 15, artillery began shelling the brest fortress. The garrison was still sleeping. Father got up, get up right away. The war started, lets quickly dress us, went to the basement, and there were already a lot of people there, women, children , vladimir syomochkin was 2 years old, he remembers how the earth shook, in the first half hour more than 500 shells were dropped on the fortress and mines, but the defenders did not give up, and the batse said this he is fighting, we cannot approach him, because the germans are cutting us off, they. Held the defense there for 8 days. The wehrmachts plan was to take it in just 8 hours, but it was not possible. St. Nicholas garrison cathedral, then the officers house. There are still scratches from shells on the walls, the heart of the fortress. It was constantly passed from hand to hand, even photographs that can be seen in the temple today prove that fierce battles took place here. Only a week later the nazis captured. On june 29, he initially dropped 22 bombs weighing 500 kg, but by the evening they dropped a bomb weighing 1800 kg, it received the nickname satan. There are dozens of inscriptions on the walls i am dying for my homeland, there were three of us, it was difficult for us, but we did not lose heart and we are dying like heroes, i am dying but not giving up, my homeland, written a month after the start of the war. On july 23, 1941, the front line was already near smolensk; the last hero, pyotr gavrilov, was still fighting in the capanirs of the fortress. Here the powerful walls of that fortress, which is already 182 years old, were shown, and the power of the force spirit of people. The brest fortress showed that the war would not be at all what the enemy expected. The defenders did not give up a single banner to the enemy. This. 393 separate antiaircraft Artillery Battalion was buried in a bucket by junior sergeant radion semenyuk. 15 years later, in 1956, he returned and found him. Volodya syomochkin and his mother also returned to brest. The father was never found, they say he died, but the mother waited until the last, like thousands of women. Lets go with her, a disabled person is driving in a wheelchair, she will come running and look into his face. I speak, mom, what are you doing . This is the father, hes like that, if his legs are in there, he wont fit, so i look, god forbid, its him, ill take him, in any case, ill take him in any case, these are the wives, the memory of the father will remain for centuries, the name on the memorial plate, semochkin ilya egorovich, defender of the brest fortress. We will never forget the great patriotic war, we will not forget those who fought and won, those who came from the war and those who did not return. The great patriotic war swept through each of our families. The memory of parents is carefully preserved in the family of the people russian artist oleg gazmanov. Irina mataranskaya met with oleg mikhailovich. Oleg mikhailovich, good morning, happy holiday to you, good morning, happy holiday to everyone, to us. I know that both your mom and dad went through almost the entire war. My father went to fight for 17 years, it seems to me that he attributed something there, because they took him from the age of eighteen, but for 17 years he went, participated in the battles for keneksberg, as part of the belarusian front, and reached berlin. And after the war they left him there, he finished the war as a senior lieutenant, and in general completed his military rank, he had major, order of the red star, various medals, in general i had a heroic folder, my mother also went through the whole war, entered medical school, for some time, which means she studied, then she went to fight with a nurse, then in tashkent she completed her studies even before doctor and ended the war not on may 9, later, because she was sent to the halki. Goal in distant japan, she ended the war. Dad took part in the liberation of penetsberg, and i know that you grew up in kaliningrad. I was born in gusev, near kaliningrad. Then somewhere i was a year and a half and i didnt leave kaliningrad after that and lived there for 33 years in kaliningrad. Well, in general, postwar kenicksberg, firstly, it was completely destroyed, by british aviation, they already understood that this part of germany would go to us, and it was practically razed to the ground, and, of course, we boys climbed over these ruins, there was a lot. But not what is connected with health and life, well, did mom and dad tell you about victory day itself . I just remember every victory day that happened in my childhood, it was a lot of people once came to us and somehow celebrated well, sang songs, danced there, but so that they talked about some of their military campaigns, this was not the case, the most important thing is that fellow soldiers were especially so they were happy that they were alive, that they were breathing air, simply that they were with each other. Communicating that it was such a joy, Everything Else was unimportant, people who have experienced so much that i dont know , here is our generation, yes, but mine is still nothing, your generation is even more cheerful, yes, here is the current one a generation doesnt even present difficulties, even some inhuman efforts, the conditions in which our ancestors survived, and became so hardened, you know, here we are in this territory, im here in this area for my life, well, not for mine. Life, and over the course of more than 20 years, 25 years, i planted about 300 trees, and we did this every year, and i called it plant a victory tree, because it was at that time that i came up with such a victory song campaign, it went well , then victory trees became, which means victory alleys, forest victories and so on, so veterans came, you cant imagine, 80,90, then already under 100 years old, they came, pulled out shovels like that, we ourselves are like. Thats what i understood from this, this is what in at that time there were practically no songs, you know, like in the postwar period they began to compose there under brezhnev, the helmet is broken, the eternal flame, the mother is waiting for her son there, but he didnt come there, and so on, no, nothing like that, a darkskinned moldovan woman, the first matter, they are so honest, yes, and you know, all these songs are filled with energy, and these great songs, because it was with these songs that our ancestors got up from the dugout with these songs, went to the tanks, won and won, so we need our descendants to know this. That we are winners, oleg mikhailovich, thank you very much, happy holiday, happy victory day, thank you to all of us, happy victory day, our festive morning continues. Marshal zhukov wrote that when people ask me what i remember most from the last war, i always answer the battle for moscow, it buried the barbaros plan. The battle for the capital is one of the bloodiest of all time. War, at the cost of an incredible feat, moscow. Was saved, and the myth of the invincibility of the german army was finally dispelled. September 30, 1941, the beginning of operation typhoon. The goal of the nazis is to storm moscow from three sides. Huge forces were deployed, more than one and a half million soldiers, three tank groups. The enemy needed one to capture france. The main attack was carried out by two tank groups, the third tank. It advanced in the general direction towards dmitrov towards yakhroma. There is a state of siege in moscow. The kremlin is masking. Take a look at this photo. Windows are painted on the walls, nonexistent roofs are marked on the square, everything to confuse enemy pilots. The capital is bombed every day. Grigory alexandrovich is 15, a student at a special artillery school. Together with other schoolchildren, he is thrown into digging trenches. Antitank ditches to build a fortification, when the enemy breaks through the defenses, he is already in combat positions in the gun crew, the crew consisted of about five people, three on the gun, a gunner, combining the angle of destruction, loaders and two projectile carriers, each weighs almost as much as he does, 40 kg, we could stand as they couldnt. There was no fear. On november 23, klin was captured, then solnechnogorsk, yakhroma. On november 30, the enemy was already stronger. Handing it over means opening a direct route to moscow. It was necessary to stop them. Everything that rokosomsky had at hand was thrown into battle. Reserves were issued and an Operational Group was created. And reinforcements are being transferred from the far east in complete secrecy. About twenty divisions cross the entire country in 1020 days. Immediately enters into the battle, enemy reconnaissance overslept the transfer of forces. December 5, the beginning of the soviet counteroffensive. In some areas they drove the enemy away from moscow up to 300 km. The general offensive of our troops near moscow began on january 78, 1942. By april 42, the moscow, tula and ryazan regions were completely liberated. Many areas of the kolinin, smolensk and oryol regions. The enemy is retreating further, for the first time in 6 months of war. The plan for a small war against the soviet union failed. The myth of the invincibility of the nazi army collapsed. The blitzcry was not just stopped. Barbaross entire plan for the lightningfast seizure of the country by the enemy was thwarted. That huge war is woven from millions of personal stories. Viktor antonovich sadovnichev, rector of Moscow State University named after. Viktor antonovich, good morning, happy holiday to you, happy victory day, good morning, happy holiday to all of us, how old were you when the war began, when the war began, i was in my third year, but i was good at the war. Probably left in 42, he had serious lung disease, he was in a military hospital, and then he went, he was an ordinary rifleman, he has many awards, even an order, he was wounded four times, seriously, a disabled person of the second group returned, when he returned, in the yard i was playing a trench ball, i came in a man in chanelli with a certain military backpack, and says where is the mother, i say, in the hut there and continue to beat. Erected one monument in our holiday home in krasnovidovo, where on october 10 , 1941, during the difficult days of the war, there was a meeting of the headquarters of the western front; the entire headquarters, Strategic Decisions for the defense of moscow were made, zhukov was appointed head of the western front, konev his deputy, and a month and a half later there was a victory near moscow, but how do you personally like to celebrate may 9 . Im not traveling, i kind of go to the parade every year, what is your favorite part of the parade, when the girls enter the square, wellbuilt, prepared, beautiful, not only me, but all the stands become animated, although of course the whole parade is impressive, viktor antonovich, thank you very much, happy holiday again, happy holiday everyone, thank you, happy holiday, our holiday tv channel continues, well, by the way, theres one about the girls. One of the most famous victory photographs is the girl Traffic Controller against the backdrop of the Brandenburg Gate in berlin, the Traffic Controller of victory. The author of the photo is war correspondent evgeniy holdey. This photo spread all over the world, and the girl Maria Filippovna limanskaya became a symbol of victory. The other day she turned 100 years old. The victory Traffic Controller is the bronderburg madonna, a photo that has spread all over the world, with Maria Limanskaya in it. The british Prime Ministers motorcade has arrived my post, stopped, called me, this, well, i approached, this, began to talk to him. Churchel asked if the british soldiers were offending . Maria filippovna replied let them try. she returned home from the war towards the autumn of 45, worked as a nurse in the surgical department, worked in the library, and became a mother twice. When her granddaughter announced that she was marrying a german and leaving to live in germany, Maria Filippovna supported her and said that times change, and people change.

Anna vashukh has all the details. The night is short, the clouds are sleeping, from war songs, from those very musical phrases, this performance was born. I fly with black wings over my homeland, we sing, we dance, we show some kind of frontline theater, sketches of how it was, in fact, in those days, there are no specific roles, that is, there are. Young people, girls, boys who simply live, and then war bursts into their lives, for the fourteenth year in a row the actors appear on stage, they are not acting here, they are storytellers, guides.

Hello, dear friends, on the calendar may 9 is a Great Holiday for us, on this day we turn over the pages of the history of the great patriotic war and remember the main battles. One of them is stalingrad, it lasted 200 long days and. On which all previous world battles took place in scale, but most importantly stalingrad survived, it survived, now the city is called volgograd, but it is on these holidays that it returns its historical name, stalingrad. Volgograd changes its name nine times a year, on june 22 on the day of memory and mourning. Evgeny fedorovich rogov, then only finished nine classes, a year later he went to the Infantry School. Twentythird. The last note from battalion commissar ivan shcherbina was written before leaving the encirclement after a month of fighting; he asked that civilians remain in the city to take care of his family. The next date is september 3, first attempt. They had to be prevented and repulsed, that we done, completed the combat mission, two more memorable days december 9 and february 2, the beginning. Final operation ring. Hitler promoted paulus to the rank, hinting that not a single german field marshal surrendered alive, but he chose to surrender. In the basement, where his headquarters was, a museum, there were famous participants in the grandiose battle, misha and masha, fighting camels. This camel was from stalingrad, went through the entire war, visited berlin, moved guns, carts with ammunition. A pair of camels replaced four horses. And, of course, volgograd becomes stalingrad in day. Hello, thank you, too, and once again happy holidays from stalingrad, dear friends, we are on Mamayev Kurgan, this is a significant place for everyone who lives in stalingrad, in volgograd, for every person in our country. By the way, on may 8, 1965 , stalingrad was awarded the title of hero city. And today here, in volgograd, as in many other cities of our vast homeland, a victory parade will be held. Parade the day of red stars on caps, when citizens from schoolchildren to managers put on the uniform of their greatgrandfathers to drive through main square of volgograd. Surgeon julian kroman driving gas from the historical club, it was his greatgrandfather who walked from stalingrad to romania, brought back his wife, fathered children, and built a city for them on the volga, immersed in greenery, of his unreturned relatives. Your heart is beating fast, especially when you pass tehli military equipment. Stood, that is, with heavy machine guns, with their own weapons, held everything in their hands, took part in the battle of smolensk, in which he received severe wounds, but continued to work for the benefit of the rear, passed the battle of novorossiysk, participated in the liberation of crimea and the caucasus, liked to repeat that no matter what happens, we will always break through. My greatgrandfather is a hero of the soviet union, during the belarusian offensive operation, he replaced a dead comrade, blew up a tank, and reached berlin. He tells us that the box should be all even, square, all the same height, give or take, but we dont have the preobrazhensky regiment, in the end we ensured that she remained in the parade squad, here is katya terikhova 11 years old with friends at rehearsal, the hero proudly strides along the main square of the city, you are the youngest participant in the parade in volgograd, i was involved in marching before, so it wasnt very difficult for me here, and this is also the day when there are no free rooms in hotels in volgograd. Rooms for the may holidays begin to be booked almost a year in advance; unfortunately, you wont find any free rooms here for six months, although tourism in volgograd is special, with its huge memorials, strict guards at the eternal flame, and of course, a parade on stalingrad land leading to it it seems thats all ready, excitement, im afraid, what are you afraid of, well, for the first time. The military parade dedicated to the 79th anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war is live today, on the first. We continue, victory day, our most important holiday, the day of our glory of memory, and i want to say a huge thank you to those people who help us preserve this memory, to those who find, restore and preserve. This t34 fell into the hands of moscow restorers without a turret; the tank was knocked out on the kursk bulge. The force of the impact was so great that it cracked frontal armor, so there was no particular point in changing the front plate, the car was written off, it was restored today, the turret was taken from another thirtyfour, all that remained was to give the car a name, they didnt think for long, a battle friend in honor of maria of october, why a battle friend, she named her tank in memory of her husband, who died during the war, at least. At least one historical vehicle from all branches of the military, for example, motorized rifles, yekaterinburg, light troops will march across revolution square in a festive column ba64 Armored Vehicles, the kind that met the enemy in the first days of the war, these are the vehicles that were recreated by the local military from scratch, only according to drawings. Tank troops, there is a huge choice here, firstly, in almost every city where there will be a parade, at the head of the column are the legendary thirtyfours, the same capital near. The urals t34 with a 76mm cannon, was shot down on the kursk bulge, restored in fortythird, and with an eightyfive caliber cannon, again went to the front, among the first, entered prague. Another representative of the tank forces m4 sherman, participant in the 1818 victory parade in murmansk, landlease equipment. The caravan that transported him was sunk in the murmansk bay. The military raised it 71 years later and restored it to factory condition. Packed in cellophane forms were preserved in the side panel; using them, we were even able to reconstruct the inscriptions on the board. Another amazing tank from the sunken land lease convoy, also murmansk, a rare m3. Now to aviation, the il2 attack aircraft was shot down near murmonsk fortythird. Pilot Valentin Skopintsev survived into old age years old asked to find his plane. The restorers didnt just find it, they put the attack aircraft on the wing, and here it is again in the sky. And this is the i16 fighter, the legendary donkey, also on the wing. But he lay in a swamp for more than 70 years, and in 1941 he made an Emergency Landing in karelia. Restorers had to disassemble and study six other downed donkeys to restore one car. And this is not just technology, even if it was restored with great difficulty, each one has someones life and destiny behind it. And, of course, every new kilometer of these wheels and tracks is like. Every foot the heights of these wings are a living memory of the heroes of that war. So, friends, we continue, as you can see, the weather is not making us happy yet, but we probably hope that it will get better soon. Behind me is sofiyskaya embankment, vasilievsky spusk, by the way, buses with parade participants, hurrying parade participants, are already slowly appearing on vasilyevsky spusk. Very soon we will see all this. And right now i want to give the floor to the Information Service of channel one, and after the news release we will definitely return. Hello, happy day victories.

More than 9,000 military personnel from different types and branches of the military will pass, columns of military equipment 61 units, and, of course, the legendary victory banner. A priceless relic. Our pride, honor, glory. The main relic of the great patriotic war the victory banner, could have been like that. This joint for installation over berlin was sewn in the spring of 45 in moscow, but who knew which unit would be the first to reach the reichstag. The projectionist at the house of officers of the Third Shock Army, Alexander Gabov, and the artist vasily buntov made nine assault flags from simple satin, according to the number of divisions. Defeated, after the war his father found his family, and after going through the entire war he was subjected to machine gun fire son helped them. On april 30, 1945 , each mountain fighter carried its own flag to the kreistag; the detachment of captain vladimir makov was the first to break through. In the second group is grigory bulatov, he is on the newsreel, which, by the way, was filmed after the fight. And this piece all that remains of bulatovs banner is stored in the main archive. An old german feather bed, this red color, was used to make it. The divisions assault flag was assigned to the scouts meliton kantary and mikhail egorova at night 1 may. What is your task . How can you not quickly bring this banner to the rooftops . The task is clear. It was then, according to them, that a piece came off from the linen. The victory banner flew over the rechstag for a week, and the division was withdrawn from berlin. So that there is no confusion. The flag was signed and sent to moscow on june 20 with the experienced crew of the 226th transport air regiment. Few people know, actually, before the war, they flew our route from moscow, to berlin, to stockholm, but four days before the victory parade, the frontline soldiers and standard bearers did not have time to prepare. At my fathers well, there were five serious wounds, the legs were also broken in 1943, when there was a direct hit in the dugout, the banner was transferred to the museum. But after 40 years, stepan unstroev still walked along red square, they walked along red square very dignified, as if they were no longer more than 60 years old, 70, as if they were young, just like the twentytwoyearold, the original banner is now stored in a closed display case with constant humidity and temperature; in celebrations, in order to preserve the relic, they use an exact copy, the most exciting moment of the parade.

As always, in the archive of the First Channel there is the latest development, we will now try to install cameras in the box, you will see how a soldier feels who is walking inside the box, which we, in principle, rarely see, because we stand outside the boxes all the time, look into the eyes, look well hear all the details every precise step, the sound of dozens of ultrasensitive microphones, so we can hear the breathing of red square, this is a mixing console, we collect everything here, we put it all together at the right time, we send it to the picture, a largescale broadcast of the victory parade on channel one at 10 00 in the morning, victory , our cameras are installed everywhere today.

Our holiday tv channel continues. During the war years, the soviet Postal Service forwarded 6 billion letters, each containing hope, faith, love, letters from the front, triangles, which are still carefully kept in families, these yellowed ones. This was written by a man who graduated from the Infantry School in our city of tambov, and before that we met with him while he was studying there, it was my first love, he sent me this letter dated august 31, 1941 of the year. In between fights, i reread the lines, in each personal experience there was great hope for the future. Nina, i think that you will accept this humble letter of mine from the front, and we will return again. Let us recall our days in peacetime. She, of course, wrote back and waited. But this letter remained the only one. Nikolai died in the first months of the war. Anina petrovna kept the piece of paper with the faded letters so that every may 9th she could remember her first love. I was a little over 3 years old at the time, he kissed me, put it on the ground with. And field postcards flew. Ivan shcherbakov sent more than 15 greetings to his son heinrich and his wife galya. 527 field mail september 12, fortyone. Hello, my dears, golyusya, gerusya, please accept my most cordial greetings from your father. And i kiss you many times, my dear snubnosed ones. Every letter is about how he loves and misses, and not a word about the war. It was impossible then. The very best person got it, writes that i am in such a situation that it is impossible to send anything, and tells my mother that my things are there, yes, i mean the coat is there, everything is there, shoes, sell everything and dont regret it, dont starve, the very last letter has also been preserved, genrikh ivanovich rereads it more often than the others, dear gerusenka, how are you living, well you wont draw me your. Hand to your daddy, well, its all dear, close, which cant be returned. Maria ivanovna nikrasova was 16 when she received letters and postcards from different parts of the front. The girl, a home front worker, ended up in moscow on the komsomol trail. We were photographed, this photo ended up in komsomol truth. This komsomol truth went to the front. At the front they read it, of course, and started sending me letters. Several, every day, from unfamiliar soldiers, most often. Asked if there is a groom . I didnt have any suitors, but where can i get them . So they wrote to me, i think you can be like that for me, they determined whether it was suitable or not suitable, based on their handwriting, and some wrote so poorly that i chose which one was better, Maria Ivanovna became friends with some, one lieutenant constantly sent postcards, every special, hello, well done. Its as if he came from the front instead of a letter and when you read everything, it just touches your heart, its just warmly pleasant, you keep waiting and thinking, if only he stayed alive, he survived, after the war they met, looked at each other, and so they continued to be friends by correspondence, carefully keeping their military news, this holiday morning i was joined by. Wonderful, courageous colleagues, special correspondent of the directorate of Information Programs of channel one, Oleg Shishkin and war correspondent of channel one amir yasupov, good morning, good, its a little chilly here, but what kind of view have you already appreciated, the view is stunning, festive, one might say, very festive, well, on this holiday we traditionally remember the heroes of the great patriotic war, tell us who fought in yours families . Amir, i have two greatgrandfathers who fought on my mothers side and on my fathers side. On the paternal side, my greatgrandfather went to the front as a volunteer, although he had four children; unfortunately, i cant tell you what his name was, because we dont have all the information there is, but from what we know, he left voluntarily, because he had four children, although, as far as i know, at the beginning of the great patriotic war , people from large families were not conscripted either, he left on his own, and served the entire war as a driver. Thank god, there were no injuries, well, i understand that the audience probably needs interesting stories, there is one like that, as my greatgrandfather told, it is clear that this was passed down through several generations, perhaps exaggerated in some places, partly the story looks like a movie, maybe but one day they were driving in a small column to deliver ammunition to the front line, information was received that one of the bridges was mined; unfortunately, there was neither time nor specialists in that area to check this. Sometimes it happens at the front, and the order had to be carried out, so my greatgrandfather led this column, he was sent to be the first to cross the bridge, as he said, he prayed, finally crossed this bridge, when the rest of the column arrived, i think its safe there, moment the bridge was blown up and the entire column with supports flew away, roughly speaking, into the abyss, giving birth he said that god saved him this way, again i dont know how true the story is, but he exaggerated something. I still havent been able to find anything in the archives about either the front line or my grandfathers combat path, but maybe new documents will appear over time . Yes, on your business trips today you already meet the heroes of our time, maybe you have learned something from them, what do they admire you about . Well, the guys who are now serving in the zone are special people, these are people who are ready for selfsacrifice, those people who whom i want to study, then no matter how long i communicated with the fighters, i was always amazed. We met one of the militias, he is so small, puny, short, but his call sign is rock, rock, that is, you can imagine what kind of spirit a person has, and somehow, we liked each other, he said, guys, the situation is alarming, i will cover your backs, and together we walked around the yards, filmed, and he said, do you want to film a pianist, what a pianist, dilapidated city, he says, there is a boy, 8 years old, he plays piano, in the evening there is silence, there is no light, that is, there is no heat, there is nothing, and people in the entrance open the doors and he starts playing classics, everyone sits listening, we talk, of course we want, and we come to this boy, he lived with he lived with his mother, and a dilapidated house, an apartment, instead of glass there was some kind of film on the windows, he was wearing some kind of warm jacket, almost felt boots, she also had these gloves with the fingers cut off so that you could play was. Plays and he started playing chapin, were filming it, its an incredible feeling, incredible emotions, here in this city, i look at the rock, he sits crying, he has a tear in his eyes, he had a cold, very prickly look, cold prickly eyes, but he still remained a man, very, very touching, i almost stopped to hear you, because the equipment started walking along tver street and i think our tv viewers also heard this sound now, we are looking forward to the start of the parade, but amirs question to you, if i may be brief, have our guys accepted you into their brotherhood, fighters . Many, yes, it is actually very difficult, because essentially no one needs us there, we just get in the way, everyone is afraid of responsibility, no one wants to answer for us, and in order to generally get anywhere to the front line, there closer to the enemy, so to speak, you have to earn trust, of course, not it works out right away, but over time, when the guys manage to feel that we are not like that. Yes, this day is very anxiously awaited in bryansk, because this is a partisan region, for me this is the day of victory since my school days, so to speak, it is, first of all, meetings with partisans, a meeting with liberators bryansk region, because well, the bryansk region is the land of partisan glory, and navliya is a village of partisan glory, a lot of places are connected with this, oleg, i apologize, we wont be interrupted for long, we want to contact elizaveta nikishova to see whats there is happening. After all, on tverskaya street, the equipment began to be there, lisa, over to you, once again, good morning, happy holidays again, dear tv viewers, right now the quiet tverskaya street has turned into noisy again, because we have backup equipment, and the most important thing is that the thirtyfour came, the legendary thirtyfour, our victory tank, right now they are starting to lower it from the trawls, because our parade star is the first to be brought here, naturally this one with such a. Motorcade, i see now, that our tanker is descending, and apparently will start the engines right now, we will hear it, its just an amazing sound that , frankly speaking, gets right to the bones, look, they continue to lay out, we are looking forward to when we have thirty the four will come down, finally they will come down, finally they will come down from the stralas, right now im giving the floor to anastasia, shes coming up to us from the printers, to us here on tverskaya street. Colleagues, good morning, we have already left Volgogradsky Prospekt for the garden ring, everything is strictly on schedule, we are not driving fast, at about 3540 km h. And we are closer to the beginning of the convoy on the ambulance vehicles lens, this is a new thing, it is participating in the parade for the first time in total. There are six such units in the column, the car can be used on the battlefield for evacuation wounded in places of manmade disasters, and its weight is 15 tons, and the armor, of course, protects from bullet fragments, well, the capacity of 13 people is 10 victims and three crew members, and now you can see and see how soft it is it runs smoothly, almost like a passenger car, but let me remind you that the mechanized column includes more than 60 units of military equipment. And the column, of course, is very stretched, it is now about a kilometer long, and of course, you cant see all of it, but you can see the neighbors, here in front of us you can now see the phoenix Armored Vehicle with increased security, this is also a new product, and it is participating in the parade for the first time, but very soon we will be turning onto tverskaya street, and i pass the floor, olga, thank you, anna, very interesting. In one word, thank you, thank you for coming to us on this holiday morning, happy holiday once again. Well, our holiday tv channel continues. Tatyana mikhailovna, st. Johns wort, humpback, and of course, the famous katyusha. Our soldiers gave all these names a formidable military weapon during war. These nicknames have something very warm, dear, thats probably what you can call Close Friends with whom you have been fighting side by side for a long time. Tm 312, a soviet giant from the great patriotic war, a superheavy 340ton artillery gun, and even such a colossus had a cute nickname. Glaskovo soviet gunners nicknamed her Tamara Mikhailovna or tatyana mikhailovna, from the first two letters of the name of this installation tm, that is, sea transporter. Giving weapons and nicknames is an old tradition, an attempt to introduce war is something human. During the great patriotic war , humpbacks and il2s fought in the air. The nickname was given for the shape of the cabin. There was another version the black death. This is due to the number and power of weapons. Five different caliber machine guns and cannons. 600 kg of bombs, eight rockets. Even the enemy came up with his own nickname for him concrete plane. It was nicknamed by german pilots, who complained that it was very difficult to shoot down, since the il2 was quite well armored. Why was this giant called st. Johns wort, its not hard to guess. The caliber of the isu152 gun is encrypted in the official abbreviation. In the tank units of germany , various types of panthers, tigers, elephants or ferdinandos began to appear more and more often; for their penetrating ability, a very powerful projectile that literally opened the armor of these german tanks, this was the co152 installation, which was nicknamed st. Johns wort. Bm13 is an even more powerful weapon, the regiments salvo covered 10,000 hectares, and for some reason it was called katyusha. It is believed that the nickname of the reactive system. Got it because of the first use high bank, there are such lines in the song, but most likely the bm13 was named katyusha for the letters kat on the casing of one of the types of shells. Our fighters also had lemon. Officially, the f1 is a handheld antipersonnel defensive fragmentation grenade, long. They simplified dalimonki because it looked like this citrus, although this is more likely due to the name of the french designer lehman. It was he who came up with the prototype of f1. It formed the basis of our grain. By the way, the unique ammunition has been in sovietrussian arsenal for more than a century, which you definitely cant live without to imagine a red army soldier, without a father of a threeline or a mosinka, with a shpagin submachine gun, everything is simple, the nickname was given by the abbreviation popsha, and the history of the name of the threeruler began during tsarist russia, then there was its own measure of length, the russian line is 10 inches, the caliber of the rifle is three lines, that is 3 inches or 7. 62 mm, thats how it stuck, a threeruler, except for its own. By the way, the enemy called it a small machine gun, because the Red Army Soldiers sometimes fired from it in long bursts, because they werent afraid to miss, the bevel on the muzzle, you see, thats what the designers decided the problem of recoil and scattering of sacks, a small but very significant contribution to victory in the battle throughout the war. Dear friends, we continue, right now i suggest you move to the kremlin embankment, there Anna Soldatova is watching how the fireworks division is preparing for the parade, lets look at the weather today. But this will not spoil our festive mood, we are on the kremlin embankment, just, literally a minute ago , a fireworks division arrived here, these are 18 artillery pieces, model 1942 zis3, they brought, each personally separately, now the guys will remove the fasteners manually and roll them into position, look. How they will conduct the last Training Session and how they will know that it is time to fire a salvo, we will definitely show and tell you, colleagues. We continue, friends, and today on channel one be sure to watch our beloved film only old men in color go into battle, this is a piercing film story about a singing squadron, a film that everyone has probably seen many times, but we will be happy to watch again. Calm down, guys from the propeller there is from the propeller, we take off, the propellers rotate, they stir the grass with flowers, here each leaf gives strength to its own, the air is different, and the sky is bluer and the earth is greener, it smells like home, but takes away strength from enemies, the mood, oh, do you want to Say Something, but no, i cant, im better at ill say in battle, maestro, im the first, maestro, respond, im the first, maestro, will respond, how could it be otherwise, the legendary film on channel one on victory day is already a tradition, not a single random phrase, the scriptwriter and director leonid bykov talked a lot with frontline soldiers, barely had time to record like a device, worldly, come on refuel, eagles, wolves, the film is set in the end of the summer of fortythree, behind the kurdish arc, the battle for the dnieper is underway, listen, well, you had to punish, this is not fortyone, you were ordered not to reveal yourself, so. In the fifth guards Aviation Regiment loved music, sang in the air, out of fourteen pilots 11 were heroes, seryoga, they accepted the challenge, dont look away, lets get out of the sun, eat, uleshki, go away, no, now we ll sing a duet, seryoga, tankers could also attend musical evenings look, and infantry, we will live, infantry, well, we can, we cant, but. Lets help, the Night Witches also flew in, the prototype of one of the pilots was galina dakutovich, you see the doll in the frame, galina sewed her a military uniform and took the talisman for combat missions, 73 sorties, i once forgot , did not return from this battle, the enemy does not want to give up the sky, our task is to throw him out of there, the prototype of the desperate and incredibly charming maestro was vitaly popkov, he is going headon. And it doesnt turn away, well, of course, i cant turn it away, after all, a hero of the soviet union, the comedy is clear, well, yes, the girls from the dining room are watching, we wanted to show that in years of testing , those who remain human in the most cruel conditions win, said leonid bykov, and they sang and joked, without this you cannot survive in war, you eat a lot, you free, yes, you too, at the end of the shooting day the bulls fell tired on the grass of the airfield, thank you for the film, it was made with love and respect for our heroes, love, from brest to stalingrad topol, with love, a picture for all times, in only old men are fighting, today on channel one, well how can you not look, and you need a special invitation, once again, happy holidays, dear friends, happy day of great victory, of course it is extremely important to preserve the memory of those who.

Petersburg, the parade will take place today in the center of the Northern Capital, where final preparations are also underway. Thats all for now, stay with us, the holiday channel dedicated to may 9 is now on air. Good holiday morning. E friends, Olga Ushakova is with you, we are working live in moscow, on the roof of the carlton hotel, and the sun even came out here, on the calendar may 9, the 79th anniversary of the great victory, happy holiday to you, dear tv viewers, the chime is behind me show the exact moscow time 7 10, which means that in less than 3 hours the victory parade will begin on red square, and the First Channel, as always, will show it in every detail. Well, i remind you that our cameras are installed everywhere today, my colleague roman budnikov works next to us on sofiyskaya embankment, rom, but we have equipment already lined up here on tverskaya, what s going on there . Yes, ol, here, too , preparations are in full swing, columns of hasty parade participants are already gathering on vasilivsky spusk, and of course, everyone is getting ready, less and less time remains before the parade, and today we will see everything that is happening from the most interesting angles, and. A the victory parade in 1945 took place on june 24. The moscow victory parade on june 24, 1945 is rightly called legendary. Almost 40,000 participants then gathered on red square. But hes not the first. On may 4, after the capture of ristag in berlin, our troops marched in victory. In their own field tunics, in field uniforms, they are hers. Those who distinguished themselves in battle will be able to march in the ranks, as long as fighters from all fronts have been gathered, there are at most two or three weeks left for the parade, for comparison, now they are preparing for the parade at least four months in advance. Thousands of fighters needed several factories in moscow and the Moscow Region were working at once to put on clothes. Now the processes are automated, one suit is sewn in 2. 2 hours, in 1945 the figures were skyhigh. It was much more difficult for them. Because they only had hands and a great desire, instead of a dress uniform, the foot tankers were given new technical equipment, but they are according to the regulations, but you can immediately see who is in the ranks. They had shoulder straps sewn onto their overalls for the parade. On june 24 at 10 am the parade began on red square. In the square, that means we stood with our backs to st. Basils cathedral. To our left were the standard bearers. On the right, the khontan was dripping with dew, a cold, wet fountain was erected on the place of execution especially for victory day, the ceremonial columns were lined up in the same order as the battle fronts on the map first , the korelian front was closed by the third ukrainian, then all the other troops. When the music died down, nazi banners flew to the ground to the beat of drums, perhaps the most impressive moment of the parade. The mood was. Not rain, not that the aerial part of the parade was canceled due to the weather, but it was possible to see the famous katyushas and t34s, and heavy ones from 2, almost 2. 0 units of equipment and 122 minutes of triumph, which all the years of the great patriotic war were leading towards. On this festive , even sunny morning, our guest is an athlete, a World Champion in powerlifting. Beauty, journalist, volunteer war correspondent maryana naumova. Good morning, maryana, happy holiday to you both, who fought in your family, tell us about those you remember on this day . In fact, this holiday became very significant for me, especially when i was fourteen. I visited donbass for the first time because i i personally felt all this myself, i realized how important these, you know, simple basic values, light, water, bread, yes, when you can just study, go to work, raise children, live peacefully, yes, this is probably what they fought for our grandfathers, greatgrandfathers, so this topic is very close to me, i have a military family, one might say, my grandfather was a rocket scientist, a major in the soviet army. Guarded the sleep of soviet citizens, my greatgrandfather, pavel naumov, was a border guard, met the war on the border, reached germany, and you know, i read on the website the feat of the people, that in one in battles, he destroyed more than twenty fascists with rifles, and of course i am very proud of my greatgrandfather, here is my second greatgrandfather, pavel. Bogatsky was a Railway Worker and sent trains to the front and was awarded the order of lenin, a very valuable award, so i remember my grandfathers, i am very proud of them and, in a way, one might say, i continue their path, i was once a famous athlete, i competed in various competitions level, reached good heights and at the same time was engaged in social activities, traveled to schools, orphanages, military units, telling children about sports and a healthy lifestyle. About how important it is to be an active citizen and love your country, when the fighting began in the donbass in 1914, i realized that i should be there, and as a famous athlete i went to support the children of donbass, brought sports equipment, humanitarian aid, in this my father supported me, it was of course very unusual that my father and i went to a war zone, uh, in fact it was such a pure adventure, because that no one understood what was really going on there, but we realized that we had to be there, and so i. Went there, well, of course, i think he was very worried, but considering that he is always with me, in that time, in sports times and now, when i am already working as a war correspondent, my father is still next to me, like a personal security guard, bodyguard, well, he probably feels calmer when his daughter is nearby doing such difficult work, and so in donbass i stayed for eight years, i visited more than 120 schools, always these were frontline schools, where the children were. Mm, they study in terrible conditions, they run around the school, yes, during breaks, they study when three bells ring, they dont go down to the basements because of shelling, and you can say that i grew up in donbass, because i arrived as a fifteenyearold girl, now im already 25 years old, now you are called the angel of donbass, and we can say that all my life values ​​and guidelines were formed there, only thanks to donbass i probably became the person i am, so you said about the angel of donbass, many people so. Its difficult to remain a normal person of this people, but you know, when you see so much pain, suffering, tragedies, i am very proud that i am a part of this, sometimes i also accumulate all this, i accumulate it in myself, and then in one day i just cry, i cry, and thats after my sports career, social activities, trips to donbass, when it began. I was invited to work for channel one, to become the host of the humanitarian project we are alive, for the third year now i have been working and leading our wonderful program, which talks about the fate of the people of donbass who find themselves in this difficult situation, these are civilians, these are military, and of course, it is very valuable to tell the stories of our soldiers, because i understand that in a way we are writing history, and how now we remember our greatgrandfathers, our grandfathers, yes, then soon we will remember todays heroes, here i am with the boys. I spent so much time in the trenches, they taught me to shoot, although i was taught to shoot in north korea and syria, but i always try dont miss the opportunity to shoot, guys, by the way, they say that im not bad, i shoot well, i, as a woman, want to say that im very proud of you, i think all the women of our country, thank you very much for what you do, you have the opportunity to congratulate the veterans, yes, dear friends , dear residents of our large, vast country, i congratulate you on this Great Holiday, on victory day. Congratulations to our veterans, thank you very much for our lives, and of course, i want to congratulate our guys who are now in front of the war, protecting the interests of our of our country, our people, guys, i m very proud of you, thank you very much, we are waiting for you all with victory, with a holiday, with a holiday and you, maryana, we are very glad to see you, well, our holiday morning continues, it s already frozen here very nearby on tverskaya technology and right now i.

Beautiful this beautiful military equipment behind me are tigers, tigers of a unique machine, this is ours allterrain vehicle, extremely maneuverable highspeed equipment, and whats also interesting is that this vehicle can withstand temperatures of 100 temperature difference from 50 to 50, which is extremely important now, i think we would all need such a property, as you can see, the military is all ours the fighters have changed into warmer uniforms, in general everyone is ready. There is practically no snow left, they have polished up, our equipment is completely ready, the ural militaryindustrial complex is behind me now, then we have a new item in the parade this is a kamaz, another new one, another one surprise is medical armored car lens, and then comes the sts , the iskanders are already starting s300 triumph, yarsy, at the end of the column we have the boomerang landing armored car, we will show you all this equipment and we will analyze it in even more detail closeup, we will tell you, but a little later. Olga, i give you the floor. Thank you, lisa, well be looking forward to it. Happy holiday to you once again, dear tv viewers, happy victory day, and i want to congratulate the residents of sevastopol on a double holiday. This year we celebrate 80 years since the liberation of crimea and sevastopol from fascist invaders. 9 on may 1944, a red banner hoisted over sevastopol. To the first victims of the war, a modest monument to the sevastopol residents who died on june 22 , 1941, it was here at 3 15 in the predawn silence that the first explosions thundered, it thundered so loudly that the whole of sevastopol heard it, at first we all thought it was a teaching, but dad immediately said, that this is the beginning of the war. The house in which antonina aleksandrovna lived stood on. A journey into childhood, the oak tree seemed to have become smaller, the house, on the contrary, had grown, it was a small house with a wooden roof, but it was like that dear, i never thought that i would turn 4 years old and war would break out, there was a terrible roar, bullets were whistling, shells were flying, planes were flying, it seemed like there was no clearance, something was always flying, falling, but it was flying past us, amazing, but children of the war. Remember everything very vividly, even if they were very small, you dont remember, because you had a happy and good childhood, i remember these incendiary bombs, they spin like that, scattering sparks in all directions, picking up sand thats how the bombs stood on these, thats how they danced, im fine i remember as if it were yesterday, i even catch a certain aroma, the war smells of burning, smoke, gunpowder, i ate the smell of burning until may 9 , 1944, then he was released and began to be brought back to life. A year later, little tone, zhenya and lyuda met a big victory in sevastopol. My mother went to get water, it was may 9, 1945. And suddenly a scream, i still get goosebumps. Victory, victory. They threw these buckets, what kind of water, who needs it, when. Trouble, adults hug , cry, oh, thank god, thank god, and we they began to hug, rejoice, and even if there was bread, they wouldnt shoot, it was something, it was such a salute, all the soldiers were shooting, then it blossomed and we tore it and distributed it to the officers and soldiers, from then on on the ninth day of every may antonina alexandrovna puts a bouquet on the table for the siren, evgenia antonovna is sure to do so. Goes to the Memorial Cemetery to visit his family. Lyudmila viktorovna tries to come to the seaside boulevard and admire how her beloved city, liberated 80 years ago, is becoming prettier. Visiting me this holiday morning pilot cosmonaut, hero of russia, anton shkaplerov. Anton, good morning, happy holiday. Good morning, happy holiday to you. Thank you, we are fellow countrymen, crimeans, you were born in sivastopol, right . Yes, olga. How is victory day celebrated in sevastopol . Today is a special day, today. Its 80 years since the liberation of my hometown of sevastopol from fascist invaders, so today is a double holiday in the city, today is not just victory day, today is liberation day. City ​​hero of sevastopol, what are your Favorite Places in sevastopol, well, most importantly, this is mine my favorite balaclava, this is the very south of sevastopol, the small bay in which i was born and grew up, you came with a photograph of your heroic grandfather, tell us about him, yes, this is shkaplerov ivan stefanovich, who at the beginning fought in the finnish war, this is still 3940, then he returned home when the war began and volunteered for the great patriotic war. After the end of the war, his part was transferred to the east to fight the japanese militarists and returned home only in 1946, that is, he went through the military path, was awarded several orders, medals, when he returned, he worked as a forester in his homeland in belarus, you were lucky enough to spend enough time with him, a lot of time, yes, of course, every summer. My parents and my sister brought me and my sister to his village in belarus, i remember we spent a lot of time, he taught a lot of things, told a lot about the war, about his military exploits, and what did he tell you, please share . Told how he received his first order, well now maybe it seems naive, but he built pontoon bridges, that is, these are temporary bridges for in order to transfer troops across. Water barriers across the dnieper, and well, other rivers, large rivers, they did not have enough tools and one of the soldiers, when building a bridge, dropped an ax into the icy water, and it went under water, but so. There wasnt enough tools, then the question arose of what to do next, well, the grandfather didnt think for a long time, he just dived into this icy water and took out this ax to continue to establish a crossing. For this, well, now i dont know, the feat was awarded to the first horde with the first order, thats why blood flows in you such a heroic grandfather, somehow influenced your choice of profession, wanted to do something special, why did you become an astronaut, i became an astronaut, because when i was little, it was popular to become an astronaut, but not everyone was accepted , for this it was necessary to set a goal for myself, that i did go towards it, strive for it, so i, like Yuri Alekseevich gagarin, at the beginning decided to become an astronaut. Before an astronaut first become a pilot, a military fighter pilot, and then an astronaut, but i wanted to say more about this photo, you see, on it has several seals, this suggests that it was on the International Space station, that is, in 2018 when it took place, i was just in orbit on may 9 and the immortal regiment was passing here on earth, well, not only in our russia, but throughout the country, i thought why not this one. Yes, to cosmic, to cosmic heights, i asked for a photograph of my grandfather to be delivered on board, uh, i took it on may 9, uh, captured it in the photograph that it was with me, at cosmic speed 27. 700 km h, she flew around the earth at a time when the immortal regiment was passing here in moscow, so i really expanded. Thanks to which we can now be in such a great country, this is the largest country, i saw it from space, it is the most beautiful, and we can now be in the country we want, which is what we are doing, that is, in a free country, uh, in the best country, i think in the world, thank you very much, anton, happy holiday to you too, thank you, happy holiday, and we continue, a real holiday gift to all lovers of excellent big cinema, on the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of crimea, the first of the legendary epic. Tomorrow is a different life and no running around, why . The enemy will spot you, hes running around like crazy, that means hes a scout, after the parade on red square on channel one, the heroes of our favorite films will march through the poor formation, guys, dont let us down, theres an Invincible Team of scouts ahead, koltygin, bobrikov, filatov, stalin gave us, the rest of our hands are wings , instead of se. 20 years for quotes, remember, thought is ahead of the saboteur beats all ratings, the film was dismantled actions, so all the actions need to be adjusted to an imaginary ending, this is what viewers write online, im watching it for the eighteenth time, i envy those who watch it for the first time and i cant give a rating to the film yet, its difficult to evaluate a classic, with the koltygins the service, raspberries, their story began in first months. War, koltygin, harsh, intolerant, has lost all his loved ones, now these two boys are family for him, the hero of kiril bletnev takes revenge for his father, whom his neighbor turned him over to the histapo. Fillatov childishly craves the title of glory, but all three will end the war as different people. When there were three of us when vlad was alive, as Anatoly Maksimov once said, he said that you are a cell, its like you are made up of cells there, people, people, no one will help us except ourselves.

And the general, the private, its spring again in this world, berishina, lets go home, children give nicknames to teachers, in this case it turned out the other way around, teachers gave the nickname valadshalovich, and they didnt call him bun. After the war and studying at the university, young kudzhava, nicknamed bun, works as a teacher of russian and literature in kaluga. And writes poetry, he didnt check his notebooks, he came, sat on the table, sang pushkin to him with a guitar, but the khrushchev thaw came, he moved to the capital and became work in a literary newspaper, and whether i studied music specifically or not, i still never know the notes, that was the first time that tape recorders really appeared in society, they immediately began to record it, rewrite it, and i already began to spread incredibly independently.

And that means we need one victory, we wont stand alone for all at a price, we wont stand for one at all at a price, mortal fire awaits us, yet it is powerless, doubts go away into the night, our separate, tenth airborne battalion. Our tenth airborne battalion, from kursk and orel, the war brought us, to the very enemy gates, such are the things, someday we will remember this and not believe it ourselves, but now we need one victory, one for all we will stand for, one for all we will not stand for the price.

Angelina will go first after the t34 tank. Angeline, good morning. Hello, happy holiday. The siege of leningrad began on september 8, 1941. Besieged leningrad fought for life for 872 days. 872 days of bombing, cold and hunger. Hitler wanted to literally wipe out leningrad from the forest and destroy all leningraders, but it didnt work out for him. The building of the levoshovsky bakery is more than 90 years old, it was restored a year ago. Now its a new memory. For 872 days and the same number of nights, the same bread was baked here with an admixture of cake, husks, cellulose, rye flour, there was so little left in the composition that when cutting, no crumbs, a cut, it would not look like this, this is how appetizing this piece is, yes, which you just want to eat, it was black bread in the literal sense of the word, black, black in color, and of course, those impurities that were added were there too. But it is this bread that is the price of life. Daniil kyutinin worked at a bakery and died of dystrophy while on shift. This man doomed himself to death, but one must understand that every piece that could be taken in quotes is a piece that was taken away from another person who had the right to it. First of all, food for kindergartens, schools, and the Maternity Hospital on furshtatskaya. He is the only one who takes the birth during the entire blockade. Were among. First in order to provide for pregnant and nursing mothers, the city understood that the future still belongs to those who born today tried to somehow do all this. The mothers themselves express milk, distribute it among the weak and premature, and what is strange and not strange, even, probably, this is typical for our people, these mothers whose children died in childbirth, yes, they did not stop lactation, they fed strangers children. There is a radio continuously playing in the city. When the theaters of leningrad were evacuated, an order came from smolny that one theater remained, the most cheerful one remained, because it was necessary to somehow raise the spirit of people, laughter is in in general, the main thing in this sense is that in 1941 the narakovo theater, now an italian street, was hit by a bomb and the troupe moved into the building. Art provides support in the darkest times. Siege teacher Nadezhda Vasilyevna stroganova remembers the premiere of shestakovichs seventh symphony and how leningraders support each other every day. How many cases have there been when someone plucks off 125 grams of their own and causes a fall, i know this, i saw this, it lifted him to his feet, and the person continued to live. Nadezhda vasilievna still lives in st. Petersburg, she 103 years old. Well, we are working live for you on palace square. And today with us, the peoples artist of russia is literally always part of our program for the 9th , practically ours. Yes, mikhail boyarsky. Hello, mikhail sergeevich, happy holiday to you, happy holiday to you, happy holiday to everyone, dear friends, the whole country celebrates this great day, the main holiday. Shtykan defended st. Petersburg, part of the family was in the blockade, part at the front. I visit the palace square every year, and i feel a special sense of pride that. Who before the air raid screamed terribly, warning the soldiers that there would be air, as soon as the donkey screamed, all the air, air, was hidden, the donkey saved the lives of our soldiers, they took care of him, a probable regimental donkey, yes, but nevertheless, with despite all this, these were very modest, holy people, only on may 9, when orders appeared on the pechaks, did they evoke a feeling of surprise and admiration in the courtyard. In the theater, on the streets along which they passed, we still honor the memory of our ancestors, now i, and my children, grandchildren, and for his greatgrandchildren will celebrate this great victory day, once again, happy holiday to all of you, dear friends, happy holiday, may god give you all health, health, health and peaceful skies, thank you, mikhail sergeevich, your family probably has traditions like you celebrate this day, may 9, victory day. He wrote to his mother very often, on may 9 he wrote mom, hurray, we won, sorry that the letter is short, i really want to sleep, dont drink, dont eat, sleep, mom, i ll be home soon, im going to bed, war ended here is such a letter, short, but very touching, clean linen, yes, finally. Yes, mikhail sergeevich, what can you tell the modern generation, this is the meaning, the meaning of victory day, they fully understand the importance of this holiday and carry in our hearts is the fire that our ancestors passed on to us, and it still burns and it is unquenchable, it is an eternal flame, an eternal memory of everyone who has passed on, and of course, the immortal regiments are the symbol in which everyone and the young take part and middleaged people. This is a holiday that makes us be better, smarter, cleaner, thank you, thank you, mikhail sergeevich, and we pass the floor to our colleagues from the Information Service of channel one. Hello, happy victory day. Today is a Great Holiday, we remember and honor those who defended our land, defended our freedom and gave their lives for peace, defeated the nazis and forced nazi germany to capitulate. There are ceremonial events all over the country today, but the main thing is the parade on red square in moscow. And right now from there, our correspondent Anton Vernitsky communicates directly with us. Anton, happy holiday, whats going on with you at these moments . Happy holiday . As you can see, while red square is empty, 2 hours before the parade, i look at the spasskaya tower with the clock on it, 2 hours before the parade, while the troops have not yet appeared, but guests appear, each parade is different from the previous ones, each time Technical Innovations appear and change the composition of the foot columns, well, the womens ceremonial box, for example, appeared only in 2016, im afraid for women today, because its still cool, now we know very well that even in the zone of a special military operation there are women and military personnel. Now the number of Television Cameras is greater, there are more than sixty of them, and the quality of the picture, and the ability to show it, is much higher and brighter. Previously, for example, there was simply no technical possibility, for example, to film from the perspective of the driver of a combat vehicle in motion or through a camera built into the paving stones, believe me, our directors, a huge team working, will show you the parade in all its glory, i understand that from this place you can see everything very well, but you will see, as always, in detail, i hope that loved ones, parade participants and relatives will see it, especially separately. The parade starts in less than 2 hours. Cameras of the First Channel are installed in different points of our capital, on otverskaya street, about an hour ago military equipment arrived, which will take part in the parade today. Tanks, armored personnel carriers and missile launchers, on one of the combat vehicles, our correspondent covered the path from the equipment parking lot to the center of moscow, Valentina Solovyova. Valya, happy holiday, what new products will take part in the parade this year . Happy holiday. Sergey, and we are now at the very beginning of the column on tverskaya, the legendary t3485 tank, the most massive tank of the great patriotic war, stormed berlin, new items will be closer to the middle of the column, and there are two new items, this is kamaz 53949, and phoenix, we are we came here to tverskaya on it, later we will definitely show it to you in detail and tell you what there is about it.

At the meeting, Vladimir Putin and Nikola Pashinyan discussed a wide range of issues, including Regional Security. This part of the negotiations took place behind closed doors. In the open part, Vladimir Putin noted the development of mutual trade. We always Pay Attention to the na first. There are issues related not only to the growth of trade turnover, there are issues related to security in the region, now. In this regime, as they say, we will not talk about this in detail, but there is an opportunity for fields of work of the European Union, to talk, of course, about the entire complex of our relations, including touching on Regional Security issues, dear vladimir vladimirovich, first of all, let me thank you for the warm welcome and Excellent Organization of the meeting of the supreme Economic Council of the eurasian economic union.

Here, very close to us on tverskaya street, our correspondent elizaveta nikishova works, its very quiet there now, but im sure everyone is in full ready for the start of the parade. Lisa, how is the situation there . Good morning, happy holiday, happy victory day, dear tv viewers, we were finally able to get closer to the technology and in front of me now is the tiger asshole in the armored car, this is what i found out about it, that it has 215 horsepower, where did i find out told me senior car gleb, please turn around. Must control the driver during the parade, our task is to ensure that we control the speed and distance between cars. What speed should be parade time . 12 km h, and the distance between vehicles is 12 m. Convenient, easy to remember, please tell me, is this your first time participating in the parade . No, this is the second time i am participating in the parade, the first time was on the palace square in 1920. The second year, in the 22nd year i was also on the palace square, perhaps we even crossed paths there, as i understand it, there are still some tasks , which need to be completed, checked, right, yes, there are actually a lot of tasks, we have time left. Nothing at all for her i congratulate you on victory day, i leave you with happy holiday once again, i want to show you how beautiful it looks from the inside, this line here, the front line of equipment, all the cars are ready, i repeat once again, there is no more snow, the gloss has been restored, everything is beautiful, ready to wear, colleagues, thank you, so , less than 2 hours are left before the main victory parade; very soon, according to tradition, the legendary victory banner will be raised over red square. A priceless relic, our pride, honor and glory. The main relic of the great patriotic war the victory banner, could have been like that. This stick is for the hoisting over berlin took place in the spring of 45 in moscow. But who knew which unit would be the first to reach the reichstag . Projectionist of the house of officers of the Third Shock ArmyAlexander Gabov and artist vasily buntov and. Simple satin made nine assault flags according to the number of divisions. The fifth went to the 150th idret division and went down in history. At dawn on april 30, 1945, i saw through binoculars the royal square just beyond the reichstack. The square was shot through by nazis from all sides. We had to pass it to bring the hour of victory closer. Battalion commander stepan was not satisfied with the memory. Our attack aircraft covered the last 300 m. A big obstacle was a ditch filled with water, which the nazis dug in front of ristag, but nevertheless our fighters moved forward, his orderly pyotr pyatnitsky, who with a homemade flag pressed himself to the steps of ristag and, having gone through the entire war, was killed by machine gun fire, after the war his father found his family, his son helped them. On april 30 , 1945, each mountain fighter carried a cross. Our flag, we were the first to break through detachment of captain vladimir makov. In the second group is grigory bulatov, he is on chronicles. By the way, it was removed after the fight. And this piece, all that remains of bulatovs banner, is stored in the main archive of moscow. To make it, we used an old german pirina, this red color. The divisions assault flag was assigned to the scouts meliton kantary and mikhail egorova on the night of may 1. But in 4 days the frontline flag bearers did not have time to prepare for the victory parade. My father, well, had five serious wounds, their legs were also broken in 1943, when there was a direct hit in the dugout. The banner was transferred to the museum. But 40 years later, stepan neustroyev still walked across red square. They walked across red square very dignified, as if they were no longer more than 60 years old there, 70, as if. They are young, the same as a twentytwoyearold. The original banner is now stored in a closed display case with constant humidity and temperature; in celebrations, in order to preserve the relic, an exact copy is used. The most exciting moment of the parade. We have military guests correspondents of channel one, dmitry kulko and Oleg Shishkin. Oleg, good morning to you again, dmitry, thank you for joining us on the holiday. Happy holiday, good morning. You are not afraid of this word, truly the pride of channel one, our war correspondents. Oleg, how did you get used to this new role . Well , to be honest, this is not a very new role for me, because i covered, participated as a correspondent in the second chechen Company Since 1999, after that there were also many different conflicts, where i also took part as a journalist, but i will honestly say that what is happening now in the zone of a special military operation is, of course, very different from those. Conflicts that we previously covered, because, well, this is really a struggle between good and evil , but because i was holding in my hands the personal badge of an azov man, there is a personal number, there is a surname, a name written, azov named after oscar derlivanger, a famous nazi, executioner, on whose conscience are tens of thousands of lives, his punitive battalion participated in shortlived operations in ukraine, v belarus, hundreds of burned trees. The suppression of the warsaw uprising, these neonazis, they openly call their, so to speak, ideological inspirers, that is, this is from the beginning, these are dark forces, and. But unfortunately, little is known about his military path, it is known only from the funeral, that he died not far from matveyev kurgan, this is exactly the place, the checkpoint, which is located where the border between russia and ukraine, russia and the dpr used to be, now this is the inspection place, every time i go on a military trip, i pass this place and for this, of course, creates such a special mood for me and this feeling gives me the feeling that now. Im looking at my heroic ancestors, about whom i heard from my parents stories since childhood, and these people could really be made into nails, he says, so the guys say, yes, the tanks are iron, we are iron, yes, oleg, but how will war correspondents be arranged . It depends on the task we are performing, if we work on the front line, and often have to stay overnight with the guys, because that, well, it can be dangerous to move around during the day, otherwise our life is no different from the life that the guys have, these are the same dugouts, the same basically the same trenches and so on, well, of course, its a little easier for us, because we we filmed, worked, spent the night, left and were already there. We live in a city where, in principle, there are all the necessary amenities and so on, well, to be honest, sometimes you still have to really put yourself into the role of the fighters, along with them bear hardships and hardships, dimo ​​will not let you lie, and it is so say from one can of stew, and honestly i will say that the most delicious, most Delicious Food is exactly the one that the guys prepare for transfer, nothing tastes. This very soup or navalstyle pasta, which the guys prepare for themselves , i just didnt eat, thank you, thank you, guys, i sincerely congratulate you on the holiday and wish you to always return healthy and unharmed, thank you, thank you, well, our holiday tv channel continues, one of the most famous winning photographs, a Traffic Police girl on background of brondenburg gate in berlin, victory Traffic Controller, photographed by war correspondent evgeniy khaldei.

The cool moscow weather will not spoil your festive mood today. There are less than 2 hours left before the main parade on red square, and you, dear tv viewers, will, as always, see everything from the most unusual angles. Well, the first victory parade took place in the capital on june 24, 1945. The moscow victory parade on june 24, 1945 is rightly called legendary. Almost 40,000 participants then gathered on red square, but he was not the first; on may 4, after the capture of the reistag in berlin, our troops marched in victory. In their own field tunics, in field uniform, they just managed to prepare it for the parade, they prepared it like that, they didnt even have time to rest. The news of the victory spread quickly. Suvorov veteran dmitry epifanov learned from his comrades. There was a terrible noise here, a din, that is. Pillows and a towel flew up, a little later another good news there will be a parade in moscow, suvorov students are participating, excellent students, its easier for them to catch up with their studies, among the frontline soldiers those who distinguished themselves in battle will be able to march in the ranks, while fighters from all fronts were gathered, the mood there are at most two or three weeks left, for comparison, now they are preparing for the parade for at least four months, thousands of soldiers still need to be dressed, they worked hard. Several factories at once moscow and Moscow Region. Now the processes are automated, one suit is sewn in 2. 2 hours, in 1945 the figures were skyhigh. It was much more difficult for them, because they only had hands with great desire. Instead of a dress uniform, the foot tankers were given new technical uniforms, but they are according to the regulations, but you can immediately see who is in the ranks. They had shoulder straps sewn onto their overalls for the parade. The noses, on the right, the fountain was dripping with cold dew, they were wet. The fountain was erected on the place of execution especially for victory day. The parade columns were lined up in the same order as the combat columns. Fronts on the map. At first, the korelian front was closed by the third ukrainian one, then all the other troops. When the music died down, hitlers banners flew to the ground to the beat of drums. Perhaps the most impressive moment of the parade. Mood. The day was not hindered by either the rain or the fact that the aerial part of the parade was canceled due to the weather, but it was possible to see the famous katyushas and t34s and heavy i2s, almost 2. 0 units of equipment and 122 minutes of triumph, to which all the years have been building great patriotic war. Well, right now lets move to yekaterinburg, where my colleague Maria Kuskova works. Maria, good morning, happy holiday, what s going on there now . Good morning, colleagues, well, the moment has come that we have been waiting for so long, the movement of a mechanized column has begun, the first is the t34 tank with an amazing history, it took part in the battles on the kursk bulge, was shot down there, then it was returned here to the urals, repaired, installed a new cannon in this form, he took part in the liberation of europe, but he also celebrated the victory holiday in europe near prague, then there are other military equipment, armored cars, armor transporters, and behind the historical equipment is already coming, modern vehicles are coming, soon we will see a new item in the parade, these are protected Armored Vehicles, model 702. 02, now they are in service with the military police in the city of yekaterinburg, now very soon we will see them, today in the stands in the parade is being watched by 32 veterans, who in the morning were making a detour here along the main square of yekaterinburg, the oldest of them is 101. And i would like to say a few words about the weather, the fact is that all the may holidays, there was a snowstorm here and 5, only today, finally it turned out the sun is warm, the veterans told us that it was exactly the same in 1945, there were frosts from the beginning of may, but only on may 9 the sun came out for the first time, and after that everything blossomed very quickly, so now its so very symbolic, thats it the new items of the parade that i talked about, but the parade will end with a performance by the combined military. Which we will also be happy to listen to, colleagues, thank you, maria, we are returning to moscow, this morning our guest is a historian, writer, political scientist, my colleague, tv presenter vyacheslav alekseevich nikonov, good morning, happy holiday to you, well, to all, of course, our tv viewers, all russians, we are looking forward to the 2024 parade and remember the parade of fortyfive , so we had a report on this, as possible in two or three weeks to prepare such a system . Well, it was possible, indeed, this was the generation for which nothing was impossible, thats absolutely absolutely, so well, okay, two or three weeks, of course they asked for two 2 months, but stalin said a month, maximum, and the biggest problems themselves what was the matter, the first thing is the fact that there was nothing to wear, because during the war no one had a dress uniform, just no one, it was directly sewn for everyone from scratch. Because it was the heroes who raised the banner over the welkstag who failed drill training, and above all the captain of the troubles, who was also still limping after his numerous wounds, they were unable, neither egorov nor kontaria, without failing to pass along red square, but as for the front standards that went in front of the front columns, they were sewn by workshops bolshoi theater, quite quickly, that is , the whole country then gathered and. Prepared this victory parade, it really was a symbol, well, of the greatness of our country, one of the main symbols, by the way, recently on channel one there was a series of civilization and the first film was russian civilization, from which this film of mine began, of course, with a victory parade, it was very necessary then, but the formation still passed, and of course, without organizing, without organizing, captain, without organizing, without organizing, captain, yes hes talking about. Well, i remember from those who were directly related to my relatives, first of all, for this holiday, with whom we always gathered on may 9, raised our glasses because of the unknown soldier, because of the unknown supreme commanderinchief, first of all, well, of course, my father, he was the closest person to me, captain nikonov, who started the war in moscow, his first medal was for the defense of moscow, then for the defense of the caucasus. And then for the liberation of both vienna and prague, he ended the war there, as captain of smersh, the fortysixth army of the second ukrainian front. I remember and my grandmother, polina semyonovna zhemchuzhina. On may 9 , in 1945, she had a most important task; at that time, clementine churchel, the wife of the british Prime Minister, was in moscow, and who did they think . Will receive her here and my grandmother ultimately received her, since stalin did not have a wife at that time, i have a wonderful photograph of clementine at home with a dedicatory inscription by my grandmother, dated may 9, 1945, then she spoke on moscow radio, and of course i remember my grandfather vyacheslav molotov, who was the first deputy chairman of the state Defense Committee and was in charge. Prak will be defeated, and victory will be ours. Vyacheslav alekseevich, thank you very much for sharing your memories, and lets congratulate, once again, of course, all, uh, all russians, and the whole world, which today is, of course, watching red square, we would like to congratulate you on this holiday, this , probably one of the most important holidays, a celebration of victory over the most terrible enemy in the history of mankind, at the cost of the greatest sacrifices in history of mankind, we will always remember these sacrifices, and let us be worthy of memory, but. Those of our guys who are now there defending our homeland on the battlefield only win. Thank you again, thank you. Today parades will take place in many of our cities, including in the Northern Capital; in st. Petersburg , the parade, as always, will take place on palace square and everything is ready for it. St. Petersburg, a city in pastel colors, once a year puts on a red dress and ties a st. Georges ribbon. And releases the cranes to fly over fontanka, the city on the neva, celebrating victory day, today is the parade, we start before everyone else. The parade on the palace square will begin at 10 00 in the morning, but at 9 30 a special column of military equipment will pass as a prologue; historical scenes will be shown here, from the beginning of the war to the liberation of leningrad and the great victory. Then everything is according to the regulations, the victory banner and the flag of russia will be brought to the palace square, then the commander will go around the formation and the first in the parade formation on the legendary t34, we are worried, we are worried, the semin family are already experienced participants, they came from moscow to st. Petersburg, for the third time they participate in. Dvortsovaya on the legendary bm13. We will be on the bench, the crew, to show how we used to ride on it too. Female crew, combat crew. They were like that. Yes, yes, yes, there were some. We recognized the car itself, we call it katyusha. Theres no other way to call it, thats it. She somehow has a feminine quality to her, or maybe thats the name, katyusha. But shes not, maybe brutal, like everyone else. Brutal gas67 in the hands of the fragile angelina gemu. I set the speed and direction. I have the most beautiful car. Cars rolled off each other friend since april 26. They all have different masses, they all have different power plants. Now, if we are walking, lets say in a convoy, at a speed of 40, then our brds, first and second, are already in third gear, b most the audience examined every movement from the precision of a difficult thing for cars to go slowly, to the second and to the millimeter. Everything is ready for the ceremonial parade on dvortsovaya. Our correspondent varvara fedorova is in st. Petersburg right now, like all of us, waiting for the start of the parade, now she is going to direct contact with us. Varvara, good morning, happy holidays, how are things going for you . Good morning palace square is frozen in anticipation of the parade, construction of the parade columns will begin very soon, but for now we are working on millionnaya street, this is the area waiting for the parade crews of the mechanized column, and we continue to get acquainted with the participants of the parade on palace square, this is the semin family, tatyana, yulia, adelina, ilya and andrey, you have already seen them in our story, but now we will get to know each other better, dear semins, i congratulate you on the day of the great victory, congratulations on the great, yes, a small spoiler, the semin family came to us from moscow to st. Petersburg, for the umpteenth time you are already participating in the parade, the third time we are participating in the parade, and the children, for the second time, so, that is, in the first year you were not our parents took us with us, yes, they took us, because we were still small and we needed to grow up a little, we grew up, now they took us, yes, you asked your parents to participate in the parade, did you want to . Yes, of course, they really wanted us, so they wanted us. So, well, you will go to the legendary bm13, in common parlance, of course, katyusha. Lets remember why such a brutal attitude received a beautiful feminine name. One of the main versions of the fighting name, the female name katyusha, is named after the heroine of the song katyusha, which was published at that time. Yes, but how the heroine of the song became katyusha. Accordingly, this means that the crew commanders were forbidden to give any artillery commands; they replaced these commands with the words sing and play, and in common parlance, sing and play. Well, great, these two beautiful katyusha bm13s are participating in the parade today palace square, and the first t34 tank is ready, the victory banner is already developing on it in honor of the day of the great victory on the palace square, we have everything ready, the floor to olga uchakova, thank you, varvara, great, pass it on to st. Petersburg hello, well, we are returning to moscow, the clock behind me shows the exact moscow time, 8 46 minutes, which means there is a little more than an hour left before the main victory parade on red square, channel one will show it, and you cant miss this, friends, there is no way, the most highly qualified professionals will do everything to you didnt.

Hello, today is the main holiday in our country victory day, a day of remembrance, gratitude, a day when millions. Remember the great feat of our people, our relatives accomplished it and did not stand up for the price, 79 years since the great patriotic war ended, and today we are already responsible to history by our ancestors who sacredly served their homeland. There is less than an hour left before the start of the main parade on red square, and we are happy to share this time with you, our viewers. In the lower corner of the screen, for your convenience, there is a window where we will always see the main area. Countries and a return report there are now millions of screens, and a huge team of correspondents, cameramen, directors is working for you, together we will not miss a single detail, and of course, only on our air there is a special holiday atmosphere. Parade through the main square of the country great honor, great responsibility. This year over 9. 00 military personnel will weave shak, among them more than a thousand participants in a special military operation. Here they are, all there on red square, there are over forty parade troops on foot. From above , the ceremonial geometry is especially clearly visible. There are representatives of all types and branches of the military, as well as female military personnel, and the youngest participants in the parade suvorov, nakhimov, young army, students of the kronshtat naval cadet corps. The best of the best, well, the main parade of the country, you, ours spectators, you will be able to see in all its glory, for this purpose more than sixty cameras have been installed, they are everywhere, on red square, on the stone bridge, in the alexander garden, another camera is literally at a height, it was raised to 75 m, it moves along a rope system, during the flight you can see all the. Years, every may 9th you can tell a lot, because each parade is different, even if unnoticed by us spectators, but different from the previous ones, Technical Innovations also appear, the composition of the foot columns changes, well, the same womens parade box, about which you said, for example, appeared only in 2016, now its snowing and im afraid for our girls, then in the sixteenth year the british daily mirror wrote that an army in miniskirts appeared in russia. Now we know very well that even in the zone of a special military operation there are women. Military personnel, doctors, signalmen, their contribution to our victory is enormous. A littleknown fact, or rather known, but few people remember about it, what a ceremony is, like the solemn carrying out of the victory banner, the same one that was hoisted over the reikstag in fortyfive, appeared only to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the victory in sixtyfive, at the same time Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles were shown for the first time on red square, today there will also be a display of one of the parts of our Nuclear Triad of the yars Missile System, by the way, its full technical characteristics are revealed , but believe me, this is a very formidable weapon and our enemies naturally know about it, but my colleagues will tell you in more detail about the equipment that is now standing on tverskaya street, especially that again there are new items in the parade page. By the way, for the first time in our history the parade was broadcast live in 1965, well , just like now, and indeed, today there is a huge number of Television Cameras, though more than sixty, and the quality of the picture, and the capabilities shown, are much higher and brighter than, of course, in sixtyfive, before, for example, there was simply no technical opportunity to film from the face of, for example, the driver of a combat vehicle in motion or through a camera mounted in the paving stones, believe me, our directors really work huge. Veterans passed then, then it was the last time, then there was a moment, in my opinion, in the year 2010, when they drove in cars along red square in parade formation, now they will definitely communicate with them in the stands today my colleagues, katya, but we are waiting for the start of the parade here under the may snow. Anton, thank you very much, we are waiting for the start of the parade with you, and from moscow we will move to st. Petersburg, in the Northern Capital they are also in full swing preparing for the parade, more than 400 military personnel will march on palace square, our correspondent lyubov filippova is working on site, she is now in direct contact with the studio. Love, hello, happy victory day, over to you. Ekaterina, hello, i just want to brag, i heard that my colleague Anton Vernitsky is talking about snow on. Red square, and the sun is shining here, although in fact the weather is also very frosty, but i found this a plus. On may 9 , 1945, it turns out that the weather was exactly the same, can you imagine, literally degree to degree, so we have the opportunity not just to plunge into the same solemn atmosphere, but also in the same weather conditions, why not, especially since we are now on the palace square, this place on may 9, 1945 was the most important place where they celebrated in fact. Victory day, but i still have this photograph, i want to show it to you, i brought it in on purpose, look, the palace square of our days, the palace square 79 years ago, look how many people there are, such a touching detail, women, girls dancing the waltz with each other, the soldiers were just returning home, in fact, here on the palace square and they also met the victorious heroes who were returning from the front, here in front of us is the famous alexandrian pillar, then the newspapers wrote that in 1945 the big, big white stages were erected, artists danced and sang on them, today there will also be a musical and festive here, you see, the brass band has already gathered, they will actually open the parade here, and the young drummers from kronshtat will open the parade, so we are basking in the st. Petersburg sun, we are waiting for the parade to start, ekaterina, yes, love, thank you for the festive mood, thank you st. Petersburg, well, we are returning to the red line. The stands will accommodate hundreds of guests, the most important are, of course, our veterans, well, our correspondent Konstantin Panyushkin is working on the spot, now well find out what kind of atmosphere and mood reigns there. Konstantin, you have the floor. Ekaterina, hello, happy holiday, happy victory day, in fact, no matter what the weather is, here in the stands its completely special the atmosphere on red square, every year, every time, and today too. The stands are filling up, they are located along the kremlin walls, from the spasskaya tower to the mausalea, then from the senate tower to. Nikolskaya, and as you can see, at every place, and here they are prepared in the stands at about 7. 00, these are the thingsbags , when we came here early in the morning there were no guests yet, only these very bags, we thought, what s inside, probably there are always some gifts, souvenirs for the guests of the parade, the most important thing in them is that there are blankets and today they of course, they will be useful for guests, but guests are one thing , but after all, they dont come here for such a long time, in general, its still an honor and no one thinks about the weather, another thing is the participants who are there, the parade participants who are on the parade and a separate box about 200 people, these are exclusively participants in a special military operation. Of course, members of the svo family, members of the family of svo participants, veterans and active officers are also honored guests today in the stands, and we met Maria Fedorovna kostyuk here today, the mother of the hero of russia, whom she will now show us, the hero of russia, and posthumously andrei koftun, andrei koftun has been with us for 2 years already, and i see you have him with you today, these are combat chevrons, yes, officers ones, yes, these are combat chevrons, he gave them to me at one time. His regiment commander, here i am, in principle , we have been traveling together for a long time, for me it is like a talisman, like protection, well, the common history that we are all together, together we made the president ial elections, together we won, together one team of our president of our country, together protect, serve the fatherland, impossible not to talk about the participants in the special military operation today, let me remind you that Maria Fedorovna kostyuk is also one of the leaders of the defenders of the fatherland foundation, and you also oversee interaction with the regions of the foundation, but please tell us how many there are now. You feel so proud when they say that victory day with tears in my eyes, i look at many parents here, you already know their wives, relatives and families by sight, and you understand that these are not just words, because.

Antimine blade, these buckets crash into the ground, which means you can now hear how our artillery works, crashes into the ground, raises mines, well, this special protection allows the tank to remain invisible during battles, during an attack in closed positions, its called cape, we are just now approaching our crew, who have just returned from a combat mission, they were working in closed positions, hitting the enemys fortifications, destroying manpower, equipment, with us today is a tank commander with a call sign. Mars mars, good afternoon, happy holiday, we have a driver mechanic with the call sign sokol naochek, an operator with the call sign tanchik, and today we can still see portraits of frontline soldiers, who, unfortunately, are no longer alive, but today they are in our ranks and there are two heroes of the soviet union, Fedor Matveyevich zinchenko, please tell us who is with you today, this is my grandfather, he was a colonel, received a heros star, his regiment was the first to break into. They showed courage during the fighting, connected communications between companies for about a day and a half, received for these are military merits. Well , the most important thing is that our soldiers today continue the work of their grandfathers and greatgrandfathers, they, in fact, are participating in a special military operation, fighting in the same sectors of the front as their heroic ancestors, guys, there is an opportunity to congratulate all their fellow soldiers, the whole country on victory day, we congratulate everyone on the holiday, we wish everyone all the best, success, so that they dont forget who your grandfathers are, who your greatgrandfathers are, victory will be ours, hurray, hurray, hurray, on such a solemn note, straight from special military operation zones, colleagues, we give you the floor once again, happy holiday, yes, thank you, colleagues, happy holiday, this is such a loud cheer from our military, avdeevka direction, our correspondent, Alexey Ivanov, was in touch. We are returning to moscow, just a few minutes before the parade, everything is ready, on a mechanized column lined up on tverskaya street, our Armor Protection and firepower. Anastasia kobozeva will tell you more; she is in direct contact with the studio. Anastasia, happy holiday, over to you. Ekaterina, good morning, happy holiday to you, happy holiday to our dear tv viewers. We are actually working on dverskaya street right now; there is a handsome government man just a few meters away from us. Here it is, the legendary t34 tank, i must say that no matter what they called it, stalin said the swallow of ours armored forces. Churchel once exclaimed a miracle tank, popularly a masterpiece of engineering, today on victory day, of course, it is very important to remember the name of the person who created this masterpiece, it is ours. Design engineer Mikhail Koshkin, there is a very interesting fact from his biography, he began his career as a confectioner at one of the moscow factories. What kind of miracle machine did Mikhail Koshkin create, here it is in front of us. Firstly, you need, of course, to Pay Attention to its shape, it is very unusual, one might even say revolutionary for that time, here the armor plates are not positioned strictly vertically, but at an angle of 60. Thats why the shells. Opponents often ricocheted off the t34s armor without causing any serious damage to it. What else is passable it was not afraid of dirt, snow, it could pick up speed up to 54 km h and, importantly, it was easy to manufacture, during the war years this was very , very important, now we have before us not just a t34 tank , this is the t3485 tank, the latest modification, they began to produce it. In 1944 year, what you need to Pay Attention to here is that the gun here is no longer 76 mm, as in previous modifications, but 85, this decision allowed us to successfully fight with heavier german tanks, tiger panthers, this particular tank t3485, to participate in the parade will be for the fourth time, everything has always gone perfectly, today we have no doubt that everything will also go well. Five plus, ekaterina, yes, thank you anastasia, the legendary t34 tank, of course, everything should go flawlessly, the military is so preparing for this event, we were really looking forward to it, theres less and less time before the parade, but now the capital of tatarstan is in touch, theres also full readiness, the parade will start at 10 00, the troops of the kazan garrison will pass through the millennium square, historical equipment will pass, military personnel and military School Cadets will march, and also suvorovites and cadets. Only 2500 people, well, Svetlana Kostina joins us. Svetlana, greetings, happy holiday, you are on air good morning, happy victory day, we are in kazan, after two days of torrential rains, i cant even believe that today the sky is clear, indeed, the parade will begin in a few minutes, after some time, you see, a column of military equipment has already lined up, including tanks, and of course, the legendary katyusha is here. Katyusha is inextricably linked with our city, because it was. Here, starting in 1941, at the kazan powder factory, which is located just across the river, that they produced gunpowder for the rockets of these machines, so katyusha for us, well, in general then dear, and today among the crews. Have their own heroes, for example, anatoly, he came from buryatia, he was in the zone of a special military operation, now he is a cadet at a tank school, hello, and today he will ride at the parade with his greatgrandfather, greatgrandfather ivan tudupovich vandanov, he participated in the great patriotic war from 1941 to 1945, was awarded two medals for courage, and he received medals for the destruction of two snipers, the socalled cuckoos. We in kazan are looking forward to the parade, once again happy holiday. Yes, thank you, svetlana, thank you kazan, well, we are returning to moscow again, it is certainly the main center today attraction, red square. 61 combat vehicles will drive along the paving stones of the countrys main square, as part of a mechanized column. This is one of the most spectacular parts of the parade, and of course we all look forward to it. Well, at our formidable yars Missile Systems there is a correspondent first. Channel anatoly lazarev, he goes into direct communication. Anatoly, we are waiting for all the details. Ekaterina, hello, happy holiday, happy victory day. Well , i think many will recognize the outline of this giant without difficulty, this is yars, an autonomous mobile missile complex with an intercontinental ballistic missile. Now we have a unique opportunity to get as close as possible, to examine it in all details, but if you wish, you can even touch it with your hand. Yars is an important part of the countrys nuclear shield. When they speak. Nuclear triad, then they mean submarine missile carriers, Strategic Aviation and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, they are stationary and mobilebased, thats exactly yars this is a mobilebased intercontinental ballistic missile, ah, in december last year, the commanderinchief of the Strategic Missile forces announced that the Strategic Missile forces had completely reequipped and switched from the topol m complex to the yars, and this had fundamentally reduced the countrys defense capability. A new level, because the topl has a monolithic warhead, while the yars has a separable warhead, consisting of six parts, each of which is controllable, maneuverable, which creates enormous difficulties for the enemys missile defense, plus each of them can have its own, independent of other goal, which is significant increases the effectiveness of the strike, yars can also launch from almost any point, it can stop in a field, it can drive into the forest to hide among the trees, deployment in combat. Hit a target at a Training Ground in kamchatka, this is 6. 00 km from the start, and this only half of its capabilities, and the error in hitting the target is 120150 m, which , you see, at a distance of 12. 00 km, this is pinpoint accuracy, well, it must also be said that yars, the name yars is an abbreviation for a Nuclear Deterrent missile. Here it is a formidable and powerful weapon awaits us at the start of the victory parade on red square. Catherine. Yes, thank you, anatoly, happy holiday. Well, there are largescale celebrations in volgograd today. The hero city celebrates victory day with concerts, exhibitions and, of course, a parade. On the square there are fallen fighters, columns of military personnel and equipment. Military personnel of various branches of the military, cossacks, national guardsmen, cadets of the Volgograd Academy of the ministry of internal affairs, all in full dress uniform. Elena pich joins us from. Hello, happy holiday, in stalingrad we have only a few days left until the start of the parade. A little time, i was not mistaken in stalingrad, because on the most solemn days our city is officially returned to its historical, legendary name, and the parade will take place today literally on stalingrad soil, so we see a mechanized column already standing in its original positions, more than one day will pass through the square today 200 parade participants and several. To the mound, many will have portraits of their heroes here today. By the way, despite the fact that the immortal regiment is held in a special format, today we saw on the city streets already hundreds of people who go with. Portraits of their heroes, their veterans go to Mamayev Kurgan, and this creates a very special, very touching festive atmosphere in our heroic city. Katya, elena, thank you, well, indeed , today is such a day, the atmosphere is very poignant, thank you, elena pich, thank you volgograd, well , we are returning to moscow, our honored guests are in the stands, and of course, the main characters of the holiday are veterans, the atmosphere is festive, everything waiting for the parade.

But i really want to draw your attention, now you can hear how noisy it is on red square, but how else can you say such a huge number of people, that s the whole point, well, in 15 minutes, minutes 10 before the start of the parade , the most complete magic happens, without any command or command, everything falls silent, and there is such a ringing, sparkling silence, tangible, which it seems you can even touch, but thats later, now look, if you can show it now, driving away. Such a small electric car, blue, on such electric cars they bring here the main guests, our dear frontline soldiers, our dear veterans, there are a lot of volunteers here, they help our veterans climb the steps, take their places, its already snowing here today, yes colleagues said, i lost my temper, there are these gifts here, there are blankets in them, in which many wrap themselves, today here on red square there are about 150 veterans from moscow and the Moscow Region, but not only. Under outer clothing, happy holiday to you, happy day great victory, good morning to everyone, also happy holidays, today we have such a festive, solemn atmosphere here with you, but combat work actually does not continue in the zone of a special military operation in the same way, probably, as yesterday and as what will happen tomorrow, what is now what is happening there, how in general, what is may 9th in a combat zone, well, the military operation really continues, the guys continue their work, fulfilling all their tasks, moving forward, the enemy will be fine, we Pay Attention, sometimes, when footage appears in advance on may 9, helicopter pilots take portraits of their glorious ancestors into the cockpit, but there is some kind of tradition, maybe for combat missions, or there is, yes, yes, thats right, there is such a tradition, it started from the fourteenth year, when we took part in parades take portraits of your grandfathers and grandmothers with you on helicopters. And thus, flying over red square, they took part in the parade, and today its probably premature to talk about the weather, but in general everything is clear, i also wanted to ask to remind you that at the end of march not so long ago, but it turns out the supreme commanderinchief came to visit you at the 344th center, then you personally gave Vladimir Putin, well, Something Like excursions, and showed aviation equipment, you showed a new new type of weapons, a new the mi8 helicopter, it.
