Heart, tens of meters from red square , the main parade of the country will begin at exactly 10 00 am. We will show how the Great Holiday of the seventyeighth anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war is celebrated in different cities of our a large country, including the new regions of the donetsk and luhansk peoples republics, as well as the zaporozhye and kherson regions, as well as how the hero of the great patriotic war is remembered around the world on all continents from europe to africa. So in moscow , military equipment is already quite ready for the victory parade and from here with a roof historic hotel. The national can see the entire column, stretching for half of the main street of tverskaya and directly among the formidable cars. Now my colleagues Evgeny Davydov and pavel prokopenko are working and pavel is now comes with us in direct contact with pavel hello on the victory day to you and immediately open the intrigue. Show what cars will pass through red square today. Good morning good festive morning colleagues tatyana evgeniy happy holiday. Do you know how this moment on tverskaya street differs from any other time . Silence, silence of expectation , silence of anticipation of something big, of course excitement. But what about a mechanized column of more than 50 different vehicles here and antiaircraft armor mounts, transporters, of course, kander yards this is already our nuclear shield. All all the equipment is ready to go to the red square red square here it is literally a stones throw away a few hundred meters, its hard to even imagine the emotions. Crews. After all, very soon, they will be on red square. Guys. Now we are concentrated collected and we will not distract them. For now, lets dwell on how everything is arranged here inside the column. So the distance between the cars is 60 m, this is the value. The constant is necessary so that it does not visually seem that the cars are pressed against each other , however, between them there is, lets say air enough distance to make everything look. It is during the passage of beautifully solid all the attention on the asphalt. Yellow lines. This markup is not the same as the usual markup. What is lined here on tverskaya, it is along the yellow lines that the equipment moves. Uh, you can see that the yellow line runs exactly in the middle under any of the cars, because the drivers seat is in the majority. These combat vehicles are installed in the middle of the cabin, neither on the left nor on the right, respectively, the driver looks forward , focuses on the yellow line and moves three months of preparation on a direct course to red square. Look here. In such actions, we will also turn to 3 months of preparation at the Training Ground in alabino, which geometrically repeats red square, the drivers ran over more than 600 km. And after each rehearsal , after each trip, the car had to be painted. What is paint . Well, for example, armor a car. Thats 4 hours of work and 10. Heres 10 liters of paint. Here, some people are undergoing final preparations, literally wiping the dust with a rag. And this is really it is necessary to do the fact is that the drivers of automotive vehicles are most likely one of the few who are not happy with the sunny weather today, even the slightest dust glitters in the sun, but still, of course, it is here, therefore, the equipment is needed once again wipe the dust to remove and now blacken. And these wheels with a special spray of black black paint so that everything here shines and everything is polished to a shine, and here on one of the articles of such cars shining in the sun, our colleague Evgeny Davydov as i understand it, here is his car evgeny so, but here he is and i have a holiday. With our holiday. Tell us how tell us got there, but got there we got well. Eh, actually. Here it is our transport this is the btr82a. And the armored personnel carrier, uh, the armored personnel carrier is a modernized vehicle. Am has already been about 10 years of discovery of our army. That is already timetested. Whats interesting . Let me show you, look. Here there are such hmm mounts, which actually additional protection is attached to them for in order to avoid being hit by mine shells later, well directly to carry out. For the duration of the event , the protection is removed, but during the hostilities directly in the combat installation, this armored personnel carrier looks different, of course, we talked about it. We are now on the move a bit with crews. And the guys admitted that, despite such a colossal combat experience. Here is every such passage through the center of moscow on victory day. For them, of course. A special excitement, but a thrill of sensation that is not transmitted, and we, of course, they also felt it. And then how did we get here as part of a mechanized column. We will tell in our next story. The platform for the temporary deployment of equipment in the Capital District of pechatniki is from here the mechanized column will begin its movement. In the direction of red square, the Armored Vehicles are washed and cleaned , the crews are ready to start to the center of moscow, and our film crew will get there today in such an armored personnel carrier. In the parade formation , vehicles that are capable of performing assigned combat missions in any conditions day and night in total, 51 units of military equipment, interestingly, the mechanized column this year is a little more modest than in previous years. The reason is clear and logical modern technology. Now we need an army in a completely different role and we are in a different place inside. Btr 82a is an armored personnel carrier, modernized here , weapon control is improved and, of course, protection in a crew of three people. Right there is the crew commander. The mechanic is here. I sit in the position of the gunner operator and sit outside the perimeter of the 30 mm welded with a machine gun on the guns behind the troop compartment. Six people are quite comfortably spacious there, in general an armored personnel carrier. The minibus often calls and for the infantry the task of the vehicle is to deliver the infantry to the place of the combat mission quickly. Well, and most importantly, this year the basis of parade crews is the military equipment that is used in the course. Many samples modernized taking into account the experience of the special operation, such as, for example, the debutant of the victory parade car of the militaryindustrial complex ural circular cover of the machine gunner on the roof this is a consequence accumulated combat experience from the new sixwheeled armored car. Akhmat kamaz chassis armor that can withstand shelling from a heavy machine gun is a serial model and is already being used with might and main in practice, what else we will see today is the legendary t34 at the head of the column also launchers of the iskander m Missile System. Launchers of the s40 triumph Missile System mobile strategic complexes yars. Ill turn you now to the stepbystep ring in front of the turn already on the triumphal square. The speed of the column in open areas is up to 40 km h. Here the crew is already slowing down and can be seen. What perfect synchronicity along the entire route of the crew meets many spectators with children. This is despite the early hour and rather cool weather, and here is the finish line of skye and the equipment is here. So its already an hour and 50 minutes before the victory parade and on your screens you will now see a picture right with the red square, from the very heart of our capital and there they are gathering on the square ceremonial calculations to occupy the socalled short ones, which will be located around the perimeter the entire square, then to go through the entire square and accept the parade. And right now we are being transferred to the manege square of our motherland, it is from there that the equipment will enter red square as part of a column, as we saw dozens of a hundred of various military vehicles and all this formidable equipment is immediately visible our correspondent Grigory Vdovin grigory hello happy victory day to you. Well , are all the machines at the ready . Hello colleagues, happy holiday, indeed the equipment is already lined up in marching order when the command to start moving is sounded. They they will move synchronously from this very point, and on red square, which, one might say, yes , the last, and the moment information was very scarce about what kind of equipment would take part in this parade, from here you can only see what is around the turn of tverskaya street in fact, before the monument to yuri dolgoruky, the equipment lined up, but uh, what exactly and in what . Walk along red square. What cars . Eh, our viewers will see it. After the command to start moving is sounded, and uh, the parade will begin, but according to the very preliminary information. Eh, you can say, the following, well, what is here , and you can see, uh, literally with your own eyes and the audience can now see, uh, who are watching the picture with our camera this is what heads the column, of course, the legendary tank of the Second World War t 34 is this, and a tribute to the tankers, who are actually on their shoulders on this combat vehicle. Uh, they brought out the uh victory, in the second u world war. This is the only tracked type of military equipment that will, uh, take part in the parade this year. All other equipment is wheeled. According to preliminary information, the next after the t34 on red square will follow a column of Armored Vehicles. Eh, the tiger is one of the main modern armored fighting vehicles of the russian army , which has proven itself during the operation in syria, is now actively used during the e special military operation further along red square. As expected, ural Armored Vehicles will follow this is already a heavier version of a combat Armored Vehicle for transporting personnel and cargo in a combat situation from with a significant class of armored protection , the interiors of all vital vehicle components will continue to be followed by Armored Vehicles with the code designation sts in fact. This is an armored fullfledged truck for transporting goods and personnel in a combat situation, followed by an armored personnel carrier 82a about which my colleague spoke in detail on the cobblestones of red square. Evgeny davydov ra earlier now it is the main combat unit of the russian. Armed forces on the battlefield to transport personnel mainly in motorized rifle troops and the main task, which is to deliver personnel to the point of the mission and provide fire support. And, of course, uh, complete uh, complete the passage of the column. Uh, probably the most spectacular and representative of the representatives of the armed forces is the 16axle ee installation yars. E Ballistic Missile is mobile. This, of course, is the most formidable type of weaponry, probably not only at this parade, but it is possible that in the world yevgeny grisha many thanks to us Manezh Square of the capital is working our correspondent grigory it is important to remember that today the holiday takes place not only in moscow and not only on red square.

And those who are on the front line on the front line on the front line on this day with weapons in their hands. In the special Operation Zone , our encor Yevgeny Poddubny is working, who is now contacting us directly from the zaporozhye direction. Hello eugene, the situation is still tense in all key sectors of the line of contact and here in the zaporozhye direction, where our film crew is working, the enemy is stepping up efforts , increasing the intensity of artillery strikes on our front line. It also hits under the rear area, while in different directions. It is trying to conduct reconnaissance in force in order to identify weak points in the defense line of the russian troops, which are located in the north of the special military Operation Zone in by the way, our active offensive operations continue directly in artyomovsk in the donetsk direction in the area of ​​​​ugledar in the southdonetsk direction and here in the south in zaporozhye and in the kherson region on the eve of the steam, the enemy attempted to force the dnieper with small forces in order to to gain a foothold on the islands that are closer to the left bank of the dnieper mode. A fire defeat was inflicted, thus such a small landing, and the enemy, but tried to land on the islands with small forces, and hmm, the enemy was put on flight, in fact, the enemy was forced to return to previously occupied positions, according to our information, now, and the kiev regime has completed, and the formation of an offensive reserve, and the reaction of the formations that were formed with the active support of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance a personnel, whose composition was trained at the Training Grounds of great britain, poland, germany, as well as these the formations were equipped with western vehicles, tanks with modern leoparts, abrams tanks, as well as westernmade infantry fighting vehicles. These formations are already in the waiting areas in the rear. Not far from the line, and if the kiev regime still decides to start a counteroffensive operation, it is these formations of the armed forces of ukraine that should go forward. Russian forces inflict constant fire damage and , according to the accumulation of the enemy on the front line and in the rear areas, it is involved, as highprecision, and artillery, and fermenting ammunition, moreover, and operationaltactical missiles are constantly used to defeat, as clusters of the formation of the kiev regime. Uh, in the rear areas, and the destruction of wallpaper supply depots. He says that lubricants, as well as strikes , are applied to enemy equipment, which once concentrated near the line of contact, daily the formation of the kiev regime suffer significant losses. Naturally. Here now at the forefront. The fighters are in a festive mood. Victory day but ah combat missions are constantly underway. As a matter of fact, well, its clear that its a holiday, but in the area of ​​a special military operation, its holidays. Well, what is called is always noted in the work, and this day, may 9, is no exception, the fighters continue to perform, but combat missions are around the clock. Moreover, now the enemy has really increased his activity, and electronic intelligence means of Electronic Warfare are operating in the rear areas, and with which the kiev regime has targeted, and all the key areas, and also, additional westernmade cannon artillery was thrown, namely the zaporozhye direction and in the north of the special military Operation Zone and in the donbass , the situation for yevgeny is still difficult. Thanks zhenya, our military commander yevgeny is similar to a special Operation Zone in ukraine, today , instead of victory day, they celebrate europe day, a decree about this was signed the day before by the president of the country, in his opinion, the celebration. May 9 is an imposed soviet tradition in the eu may 9 marks the nonvictory over nazi germany and the anniversary of the declaration and the then head of the Foreign Ministry on may 9, 1950, raber schumann announced the creation of the european coal and Steel Community in france , which marked the beginning of the process of european integration. And this date, in fact , has nothing to do with the Second World War, the president of ukraine believes that it is a day of memory and victory. Over nazism is the eighth of may, as with its western neighbors, apparently, in his opinion, the only peoples of europe will grow stronger and take ukraine one step closer to joining the european union. However, ordinary residents of the country do not think so for many on may 9, it still remains on a sacred day on the eve of zelenskys decision , commented in the russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova said that the president of ukraine was in this way. He betrayed both his ancestors and everyone who was involved in the victory over fascism today in kiev they are waiting for the head of the european commission, ursula von der, lein, however, the details of her visit have not yet been disclosed. The banner of victory is a copy of the assault flag of the 150th idrid division, which was armed over the reichstag in may fortyfifth , can be seen on the front line in the donbass literally from the very first days of the special operation for of the Russian Military is a symbol of continuity to a generation in the battle of neonazism. Many of them these days go to positions with portraits of their grandfathers and greatgrandfathers who fought on the fronts of the great patriotic war. The history of heroism, both then and now, reports of our military commander alexander bibligovo to the west. Now , together with the fighters of the 150th division of the Southern Military district, we are going towards marinka, which is just the same to the west of donetsk and this unit is the 150th division, in fact. Assignee. The same legendary 150, shooting names of two fighters. Which in may fortyfifth became known to the whole world. This, of course, is Mikhail Yegorov and melton cantaria to load the red banner of victory over the german raid. The front line is clearly visible from the air, and it is literally on fire. , which are dismantled everywhere with their guns. Tankers rolling out behind shelters hit the enemy with direct fire. Heavy Armored Vehicles clear the way and fire supports assault groups. Our infantry. It inexorably moves forward in close combat, when the fighters of the assault squads act quickly and smoothly, not allowing the enemy to come to his senses, some tens of meters from the enemy. A stormtrooper with the call sign lawyer was there the day before at zero, as they say here. How is it now . Its flying right now. Yes, yes , you hear for yourself, we are slowly fighting back. We will go to the end, in spite of any difficulties, the guys there are like, uh, there are no connections , the guys are holding on. We are used to this no. Well, after all, this is the front line there and there shouldnt be her guys who keep believing in victory , therefore they are motivated and motivated by the fact that we are helping the people of donbass and russia in general , brother. Well, there is no connection. Here is a small dusty mail asked to send letters from schoolchildren. Hold it and tell the guys. Let the mood of such a small piece of paper, all scribbled by a childs hand, be at least a little bit for the holiday of the guys and is recognized by our interlocutor for a fighter on the front line more expensive than any awards. Then you read the words that they write there trembling. Sometimes breaks to tears. We understand that children are children. They are waiting for us, they believe in us, and they are praying for us. And at least for the sake of this , at least, for the sake of this it is worth fighting, it is worth fighting and defending your homeland. The crew of the armored personnel carrier installs on the combat vehicle a copy of the same assault flag of the 150 Rifle Division under the banner of victory , the combat vehicle is carried away towards the front line to help our unit push the front of donetsk with the fighters of the first donetsk army corps, we are going to our positions. Today, they took to the front line not only machine guns, but also portraits of their grandfathers and greatgrandfathers, who once defeated nazism. I took him with me so he could see. That we will do the same now with the fascists who came to our earth to defend it just as he defended it. This is hers many years ago. In this squad. All local donetsk dima, his youngest greatgrandfather crossed the dnieper, reached berlin and now his greatgrandson continues to do it. The land is dear to me, and now i too, well, its my turn to defend. She, too, from the fascists of the population of ukraine became consider that nazism is normal there bender and thats it. The rest people just stopped thinking and remembering. This is a feat for you that our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers did indeed feats and fought against nazism and fascism, and now our task is to liberate this territory, and we are leaving the same fascists who are saturated with this ideology, talk to the fighters.

Yes, even on victory day joy in the eyes of loved ones, the son does not succeed in smiling and looking at his father against the sun the marine has distorted the rights, but to the first tuvan hero of the ussr churgu and allah mushka nogayevich, who accomplished the fortyfourth incredible feat when crossing the river of the southern letters, that in ukraine the star of the hero sharan keeps alignment with his greatgrandfather, all chest in medals. This is also in the blood last year. This is also a lot in ukraine for the dry text of awards. Sheets genetic hatred of tuvans for fascism in the local museum is a whole floor about how in the fortyfirst, tiny now russian at the time of the start of world war ii , an independent sovereign country officially declared war on germany, from which it still turns out and did not work tuvan volunteers liberated, mostly western ukraine, more than 80 settlements , workers of the tuvan peoples republic helped the front, sent echelons. Giving today everything from little to great works for the victory of selflessness. And also the habit of not throwing the features of the national character. Hello everybody. My name is Leonid Leonidovich smirnykh, the grandson of the Battalion Commander of the hero of the soviet union, after whom the village of the ship and schools are named on sakhalin. Leonid smirnykh is the namesake of his illustrious grandfather. He, too, from the first days on the front line, collected, clearly smiling with only wrinkles in his eyes, the driver of an armored personnel carrier of a tractor for the supply of ammunition leonid from among the mobilized went, as he himself says to protect his family . Sadness for him is very strongly remembered by the elders in the smirny family, the old man, who treated the kids with sweets , a portrait of the hero in a conspicuous place. They say that leonid is similar in character to him, kindhearted pride in honor in this family through the crucible first of the First World War, and then all generations of men have gone through the great patriotic war, all women are heroes of labor, the girls of the daughter, leonid grayhaired, now in the young army they help the families of our fighters on sakhalin, and in no other way did the father rise up on conscription in an hour. The enemy is already here on our doorstep on our land, ruining your russian people, and we will liberate them from the fascists by all means possible. The whole of kaluga is proud of its countryman, georgy kantare, a volunteer of two jura bottoms and a greatnephew of the legendary Intelligence Officer the meleton of the cantataria and the incredible forces of the family, who brought us victories over the reichstag in berlin, grew up these most ordinary boys, it turned out soso, that is, he often played truant. Well, four is also there deuce society. Why dont you want to study there was a moment when georgy, in his 20s, had military service behind him, then Contract Service in the National Guard tells that his greatgrandfather was closely acquainted with the marshal of victory , the city with the fact that he is now part of the kaluga division named after zhukov history this memory. That is, the memory of the feat of our soviet soldiers should be valued. Remember to know because western. Well, vysovy and it turns out ukraine, they forgot about it. I think on their part, too, people made a contribution in appearance to the soviet union, but now they are all turning over, destroying the memory in their native school on the eve of may 9, george kantaria. Invited by a beloved teacher. A fighter on vacation has a conversation with children about the fact that a million kantaria is one of our heroes living symbols of victory and that the main thing is not the name of a person. Not everyone can take on responsibility, on which the fate of not only your country, but also the world of the great patriotic war of the kaluga region depends. Every family still remembers the stories of the elders about the heavy battles on the oka, in the very heart of the city, the jewish ghetto of the nazis and their atrocities for three years of occupation. Today. They are very happy and free here. Children are so similar to their grandfathers and greatgrandfathers rain wind, and in kaluga schoolchildren stand guard of honor at the eternal flame and the grave is not a soldier yes, not only in kaluga throughout the country and the meaning and truth, this one is very simple. Remember how Robert Rozhdestvensky and i live on this good land for myself and because of that guy alyona rogozin cyril bubble and pavel watermelon to lead.

It seems to me that the participation in red square of both veterans and the zone of their own fighters, who, in general, arrived to participate in the parade, is also very serious moral support for those fighters who continues to perform very difficult tasks in the zone of special military operation difficult but very necessary tasks. This is true. And , of course, today the main characters, as we know there are also veterans in the stands, we managed to talk with some of them , lets hear what they are talking about.

And, of course, we praise our veterans, our winners who really brought us this victory. And we must never give up, we will always win. These are our defenders. You look at what to become what posture, despite in general, an honorable age. You know whats really amazing here veterans are met by victory volunteers, but almost all veterans behind them, who have lived for almost a century , simply refuse this help with gratitude, because they are from such an alloy that they think they can do everything now. And, of course, it is energizing. And here on red square it is felt, especially. Well, of course, we are waiting for the start of the parade together with the whole country, which will begin in 50 minutes, colleagues.

As of now, this was not the case. Everything was easier. Well, then this childhood was still such a completed childhood. Would be a teenager still understood what a huge event for the whole country. You understand what happened. We grew up at the age of 12. Redemption is it is during the war that children grow up on a par with adults. I know that you lost your imam, but in a concentration camp, right . Mom donetsk in the mine number four four bis there are 76 people, the mass grave in the mine.

We will definitely be in touch with them later. Well, now we are waiting, waiting for the start of todays parade. We are waiting for only 45 minutes left. Thank you. It was evgeniy reshetnyov. Well, now were back we return to the special Operation Zone, where ukrainian sabotage groups are reportedly making new attempts at provocation, intelligence reports are coming in that the Russian Military stopped the landing of ukrainian formations. On seven boats on the left bank of the dnieper near kherson, kiev units in recent days, in general , are intensively transferring personnel and equipment in the zaporozhye direction, too. And now our military commander evgeny , similar to evgeny, is there again. Hello. What is the Current Situation on the line of contact . Hello evgeniy, fierce fighting continues in all key sectors of the line of contact , calling for a special military operation in the north of the zone and in the donetsk direction and here in the south, where our film crew is working. We are now in zaporizhzhia. Indeed, over the past day , the enemy has again made attempts to conduct reconnaissance in force. Here, zaporozhye is near. In the kherson region, moreover, the attempt to force the dnieper by small forces of the formation of the kiev boat regime. They tried, and to go to the islands, which are closer to the left bank of our coast, and in fact , they were detected in time by the scouts as a result of a fire attack. The enemy withdrew such attempts, but with small forces. Explore the situation on the line of contact between the formation of the kiev regime. Has been doing more than that for the last week, and using armored groups to find weak spots in our line of defense. In addition, the intensity of fire from the enemy has been increased. Use the formation of the kiev regime of highprecision artillery of western production, multiple launch rocket systems. Haimar fire from american production strikes not only at objects on the line of contact, but also at the rear areas, according to our data, the enemy. Now i have concentrated a rather large, and offensive grouping in the rear areas these are several formations that were equipped with western equipment with tanks, and the leopard with infantry fighting vehicles, and with fire weapons, in particular highprecision means, as well as kamikaze drones. Uh, this is the same picture, not only on the line of contact here in the south of the special military Operation Zone. Well, in the donetsk direction, the artyomovsky direction. There is also a criminal matchmaker at the turn, while our Russian Forces are constantly inflicting fire damage, both on the enemys clusters on the line of contact and under the rear area , artillery and ammunition barrage lance are also used for this, truckers using operationaltactical missiles Russian Forces are destroying not only the accumulation of personnel in the rear areas. This is the same personnel that the kiev regime deployed for a possible counteroffensive largescale counteroffensive operations, but operationaltactical aviation is also used in the ammunition depots of fuel and lubricants, as well as in the locations of equipment for the formation of the kiev regime. And now, and the russian years in mariupol will forever remain in the memory of garages, the punitive operation of ukrainian neonazis. It began from here with the City Police Department department. Surrounded on three sides by the forces of the maidan battalions and the National Guard, Armored Vehicles stood at this intersection and the first shots were fired right here. Our police are Still Holding out. They are still shooting back. Valery shipovalov was on duty that day, the policemen, who had been ordered to hand over their weapons the day before, turned out to be in the basement blocked on the second floor, occupied by militants. And the top floors of the National Guard and the new head of the Police Department , the henchman of kiev, valery androshchuk, at the crossroads there was a bmpeshka. Uh, a little to the left opposite the building there was also a grenade launcher. Here they carried out shelling, that is, small arms, heavy machine guns, automatically mariupol residents and heard the rumble of Armored Vehicles. On the street next to the festive rally. The intersection of prospekt, lenin and kazantsev street, the National Guard and the National Guard, moving towards the drama theater, and at this very place people tried to stop the Armored Vehicles with their own hands. Here he is jumping, here we are already the guys who came out with the parade ran up, svetlana was among those who tried to stop the Ukrainian Armored personnel carriers. R there i kind of. Hold it with your hands so that there are more people and at that moment a ukrainian soldier got out of this armored personnel carrier with a machine gun, who was supposed to protect me. He started shooting with a machine gun over my head at that time he was with the participants in the procession, he saw how the radicals took up firing positions on the street. These pseudopatriots, these maidanites, who were formed, just in the regiments later in later on, here they retreated from the angry crowd and fired. Where two people got injured, one mortal wound and died in the arms of my comrade, completely peaceful people were killed , and on may 9, the socalled mariupol arbat names, the first civilian casualties occurred here, when the National Guard opened fire on a crowd of unarmed people with a shot in the back of the head was killed oleg koloshinsky at the site of a summer cafe. Now only this cauldron of ambulance is fired by militants of the right sector and the azuba occupied the roofs of buildings even before the beginning of the rally, the column started from the drama theater towards Komsomol Square along the entire Prospekt Mira in the center of the road were installed. The banners associated with may 9 depicted st. Georges ribbons and congratulations to the veteran ukrainian Armored Vehicles purposefully crashed and demolished structures. The execution of the peaceful majority continued simultaneously with the massacre of the recalcitrant mariupol policemen. This is my office, people have already come up, who are with the procession.

And just a few minutes before the start of the victory parade with the chimes at exactly 10 00 we will start the live broadcast and we see live broadcast footage now the president of kyrgyzstan , sadyr japarov, has arrived in the kremlin. He arrived in russia on sunday on an official visit. Yesterday , the leaders held talks during which bilateral relations were discussed. Well, earlier zhaparov opened it. As far as we know and showed the memorial plaque to the soldiers who died in the great patriotic war. Now we see footage of the arrival of another kremlin so we see that the president of uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev is arriving at the first building of the kremlin, in general, it must be said that the uzbeks took an active part in the battles for liberation. And now we are seeing footage of the live broadcast of armenian Prime MinisterNikol Pashinyan already inside the kremlin, Shavkat Mirziyoyev climbs the front steps and passes into the halls of the kremlin. In general, all representatives of all foreign states that arrived today. And on the celebration of victory day , it must be said that all these republics took a very active part, and during the great patriotic war in battles. And they also made a very significant and significant contribution to our common victory. The next tuple arrives we will see the first building of the kremlin now. Well see. Of course. Uh, the delegation of kazakhstan , president khasan zhamar tokaev, is in moscow today , and we know that obliquezhamarka melevich has a very personal History Associated with the great patriotic war. His father. Kimel was a participant in the great patriotic war. And uncle is slantingzhomart such to you. Oblique such in honor of which the president of kazakhstan received his own, his middle name died on the battlefields near rzhev during the great patriotic war. President ial regiment on your screens, a very characteristic shape that cannot be confused with anything is cornflower blue epaulettes with two letters. The arrival of motorcades of foreign leaders continues today , seven foreign leaders will attend the victory parade along with russian president Vladimir Putin on the eve of Vladimir Putin sent congratulations. Congratulatory messages to the leaders of azerbaijan armenia belarus kazakhstan kyrgyzstan tajikistan turkmenistan uzbekistan Abkhazia South Ossetia and the people of georgia and moldova on the occasion the seventyeighth anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war, in this congratulation , the head of the russian state noted that on this significant day. We pay a tribute of deep respect to gratitude to all those whose unparalleled feats on the battlefields and selfless work. In the rear, they were allowed to crush the nazi invaders and defend the freedom of their native land. Vladimir putin conveyed words of sincere gratitude to all veterans of the great patriotic war working on the home front. I wished them good health and good spirits, prosperity and long life. Now lets take a closer look at whose flag is on the next car. Vladimir putin is already welcoming the next foreign guest. And this is the president of kazakhstan, kassymjomar tokaev , shaking hands in a joint photo. And as we know, today the leaders of foreign states, together with Vladimir Putin , were supposed to have a joint informal breakfast, perhaps it has already taken place. And in our footage, president of belarus Alexander Lukashenko is a frequent visitor to moscow. He meets with Vladimir Putin quite often holds bilateral meetings, and in general it must be said that belarus, the byelorussian ssr, became the first soviet republic , which took the blow of the german fascist invaders , we all remember the heroic defense of the brest fortress, which lasted almost a month and i must say that during the fighting during the defense of the brest fortress about 2,000 of its defenders were killed. It is also worth recalling that the leader of azerbaijan ilham aliyev was invited to moscow to celebrate victory day, but he decided to stay in his homeland and occasion he has a really weighty significant centenary of his father. So today he is. And in our native capital in baku we see front doors. Pictures of the kremlin very bright sun shines. And judging by the entire first corps of the kremlin, the motorcade of the president of tajikistan Emomali Rakhmonov is approaching another foreign guest another foreign leader tajikistan, it must be said, was, in fact, geographically distant from hostilities during the great patriotic war, german tanks did not plow its lands, but nevertheless less very many tajiks. Also took part in the battles, they felt all the hardships already from the inside of the kremlin Emomali Rahmon climbs the front steps and goes inside. There he is met by Vladimir Putin and again we see the president ial regiment. In dress uniform Alexander Lukashenko shaking hands with Vladimir Putin joint photo we see that the protocol is very strictly observed at such official events such official celebrations as today. Today the weather is wonderful in moscow, the sun is almost cloudless , despite the fact that the air temperature cool enough today of course, the sun will warm up and the pictures that we see today will be bright and spectacular these shots. Another motorcade is approaching the first building of the kremlin this is the leader of turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov. Turkmenistan, like other republics of the soviet union, from the first days of the war, joined the fight against the nazis. There were so many volunteers that it was necessary to create special selection commissions, which then decided the issue of sending to the front, and in addition, turkmenistan began to accept enterprises that were evacuated as early as the autumn of 1941, tens of thousands of storkmen fought on the front lines from the areas occupied by the nazis, and fighter battalions were formed in ashgabat and other regional centers. Vladimir putin welcomes another foreign guest. This is tajik president Emomali Rahmon. They even manage to exchange a few remarks. Too bad we dont hear what the leaders are talking about. They say we can assume, probably, of course congratulate each other on our common holiday happy victory day and the leader of turkmenistan serdar berdy mukhamedov and i beg your pardon, president of kyrgyzstan sadyrzhaparov live broadcast, we will definitely return. Now we are moving to the central stand on red square, and my colleague is still working there. My colleague, the authors, the host of the program, the moscow kremlin, putin. And hello again on the holiday. And such shots. Have you ever seen sure youve never seen. We are now right in the center with a water brass band, which, of course, is ready to hold the parade ready. Well, we are with you. We are ready to show you the central stand now, in a few minutes. The most important key events will take place here, but we see with you that the last ones are now going to prepare for the parade, so this is what is happening on the central stand. Lets come closer with you veterans of the great patriotic war. And lets see what places. Right now they are still empty. These are places for foreign leaders. You see that here, here , the president of uzbekistan will be located a little further , the president of turkmenistan. Tajikistan happy victory day to you. Mer putin is further the president of kyrgyzstan, the president of kazakhstan, the president of belarus, and there will be a place there, and the Prime Minister of armenia , Nikol Pashinyan, it is clear that it is difficult for us to consider now, because volunteers are working on the last organizational preparations. Well, let me remind you that today in azerbaijan the centenary of Heydar Aliyev is celebrated, it is clear that ilham aliyev , of course, should be at home today. Ready together. We are with you. We are waiting for the parade in a few minutes on the tv channel russia again red square today on its guest in the stands are not only veterans of the great patriotic war, representatives of the countrys leadership, but also the heroes of the special military operation and next to them military correspondents who work in the hall in the special Operation Zone and thanks to whom we constantly learn about what is happening there. In fact, one of them is our colleague Nikolai Dolgov and he has the floor. Now, here in the stands near the kremlin near red square , representatives of the delegation of Different Countries , participants in military conflicts of previous years and participants in a special military operation, are waiting for the parade to begin. Of course, this day is now celebrated with a special feeling, given that our fighters on the line of contact are performing combat missions and beating the enemy. The connection of the times is felt proud of our veterans who brought victory or are now trying a special war. Everyones operation. We are only waiting for our victory so that it comes faster in anticipation. Youre always looking forward to a big holiday, when hes so bright , its wonderful. Columns. And soon the parade will begin , in spite of everything, a special festive feeling, of course, a holiday with tears in the eyes, as in the past, but with a special connotation , the people of the present time have in mind. Here they are already waiting. The first column is about to begin. We lined up, we heard the chiming of the chimes, less than an hour remains before the start of the parade. And now to the cathedral of the intercession, from where the whole area, as in the palm of your hand, we still know it, as the cathedral of st. Basil the blessed precisely in the direction of this cathedral and the ceremonial calculations and the foot column of military personnel will move , and military equipment will go in the same direction and my colleague is in direct communication from there. Dmitry kaif. So dmitry remains before the start of the parade. Well, you have a word in a matter of minutes, this is true, and we know this better than anyone, because next to us is the spasskaya tower and we all follow the sixmeter minute hand of twentyfiveton chimes, which show us that they really cost quite a bit. Well, as if quite rightly said all breed calculations will go in this direction. Here is the Historical Museum and in the direction of the intercession cathedral 30030. M is probably the most come on point with which the whole couple will be in full view. You know, amazingly, every year we start by talking about silence, about this silence, which conditionally does not fall on red square. It is piercing, that even nightingales can be heard in the secret garden behind the kremlin wall. And now this silence has come again and you know. Eh, it just seems that red square is silent, but in fact, here a sensitive historical ear always remembers the glushaks of all the squads of Dmitry Donskoy and the militia of minin and pozharsky and the steps of the regiments of peter i and those who left here in november 41 and returned here already in june fortyfive at two famous parades. Very often we look at the chronicles in the faces and eyes of these people, we understand their responsibility solidarity and Great Respect for their country. And today i suggest that everyone join together to see the fighters who will go to red square today, and among those ceremonial calculations that will be on the main area of ​​the country, of course there will be a lot of veterans who have already shown themselves in a special military operation. Well, there will be, of course, and those who are literally, as in november of the fortyfirst year. Right from here, the literal sense of the word will leave to defend our country. These are, of course, amazing parallels, and today we remember them all day long. Lets see, in general, how red square works. In terms of framing. Well, first of all, these are, of course, st. Georges ribbons. And let me remind you that the heroic ribbon was introduced back in 1769 during the establishment of the eponymous george order. And you know the amazing thing is that this tape was inherited. Can you imagine . Yes , what kind of symbol does this have on the facade of the Historical Museum, we see the order of victory this is the rarest order and only 20 years old the order is made of platinum gold. There are gems there. Here is also the most massive order of the great patriotic war, which was awarded to 9 million people, but the most surprising thing is that the order of Alexander Nevsky is also present here, this is the only award that is present in all award systems of the russian empire of the soviet union and the russian federation, and many. Uh, special operations has already been awarded this amazing warrant. And you know, alexander r nevsky whose level has passed through all the award systems. This is not a random symbol of our country, because once he said, god is not in power , but in truth, and who will come at us with a sword here , marking and will die. But there is another very interesting historical parallel, the fact is that the knights software and that one, the onslaught of the west that took place in those places. Yes , they tell me that the patriarch of moscow and all russia kirill has appeared on the podium. Now, probably , our directors will show a picture of this, which means that his holiness the patriarch is already here, thats not random. I remembered Alexander Nevsky , who was not only a warrior, but also a monk. And now you know the sophthora he defeated, where in the pskov region, where there is a famous village, idritsa is the very idritsa that actually was on the banner of victory 150 idrid order of kutuzov division, which saw the whole world. This is also a very deep symbol, which we remember today in general, these symbols are permeated literally all day today, and we, of course, will talk about them and will show you in all details, todays apparatus. From this one, including from this very viewpoint of a colleague. We continue to receive live footage from the first building of the kremlin and see how the leaders of foreign states, led by Vladimir Putin, are now heading towards the main podium, where they will take their front row seats. We have just seen how the president of kazakhstan, kassym jamartayev, the president of kyrgyzstan, sadyrzhaparov, serdar berdy mukhamedov, the head of turkmenistan, Emomali Rahmon, the head of tajikistan, the Prime Minister of armenia , Nikol Pashinyan, the head of belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, and the leader of uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev , have just entered the red square. We saw how the guests gathered to greet each other among them and the Prime Minister. Mikhail mishustin speaker of the Federation CouncilValentina Matvienko chapter. Ah. Speaker of the state Duma Vyacheslav volodin, deputy chairman of the Security CouncilDmitry Medvedev, patriarch of moscow of all russia and kirill, of course, everyone, and distinguished guests, senior officials are also among those invited to the parade today. Well, as soon as the leaders of foreign states appear. Pay attention to seating. They will take their places in the front row. As our colleague Pavel Zarubin has already managed to show us, but they will not sit with god, but with each other, and they will sit next to the veterans of the great patriotic war. Today, their representation is also quite large in the stands of red square. They will watch the apparatus of the most certainly the best places from the best clouds in close proximity to everything that happens. And as our colleagues who are currently working on red square have already reported, among the invited guests who will watch the apparatus from the stands, in addition to veterans of the great patriotic war, there are also combat veterans, veterans and heroes of a special military operation. Now we also see guests of honor who have already taken their seats. Prime minister Mikhail Mishustin head of the Federation CouncilValentina MatvienkoVyacheslav Volodin chimes spasskaya tower is the main symbol of the kremlin, we are all waiting for these sounds, which will mark the start of the parade, the chimes are literally 6 minutes away from the start. This is the most responsible. The most exciting minutes Nikolai PatrushevSergei Stepashin on your screens all the guests have already taken their seats and all thats left is. See the leaders of the state, here they are right now on your screens. And together with Vladimir Putin go to the stands and, as the press secretary of the president Dmitry Medvedev said the day before, foreign guests. Hey, Dmitry Peskov , today foreign guests will also take part in the flowerlaying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier together with Vladimir Putin. Its always a ceremony. Occurs after the parade Vladimir Putin walks to the Alexander Garden and this time. With him will be the leaders of foreign states. As i said this year on the front row with foreign leaders and veterans of the great patriotic war will be with Vladimir Putin. Among them, for example, Galina Pavlovna beltsova, the only woman living in the world today is the navigator of a pe2 dive bomber. Also in the front row you can see Nina Mikhailovna danilkovich, born 29, she participated in underground work during the great patriotic war on the battlefields , collected weapons, ammunition, transmitted information to the partisans, as well as the number and directions of movement of german troops. Parade calculations lined up. Look at the ideal alignment of the apparatus, not a single muscle will flinch on the face of our military. And the formation for the parade begins. The chief has arrived. All honored guests, of course , greet Vladimir Putin and his foreign guests salute these are always very emotional touching shots, as veterans always stand with the same perfect bearing as parade participants greet the Supreme Commander. Well, by the way, veteran Gennady Nikolaevich zaitsev, born 34, will also sit next to Vladimir Putin today Hero Soviet UnionPay Attention to the footage of the parade. He will be located to the left of the Supreme Commanderinchief, these are soviet and russian employees of the state security agencies. The legend of the domestic special services, the commander of the alpha group, this year, of course, is unusual, since seven leaders of foreign states will be present at the victory parade of kyrgyzstan soda rzhaparov leader of kazakhstan kassym jamar takayaev, president of turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov president of tajikistan Emomali RahmonPrime Minister of armenia Nikol Pashinyan, president of belarus Alexander Lukashenko and president of uzbekistan all of them are located in the front row and the Supreme Commanderin chief also takes his place. President Vladimir Putin was on his way here, veterans Gennady Mikhailovich kovalev Nikolay Petrovich kozlov Nina Mikhailovna danilkovich Galina Pavlovna beltsova veteranov are also on the front row today. And, of course, these shots look very touching when the heads of foreign states veterans of the great patriotic war are sitting to the right and to the left of them. And shows, moscow
