have switched on the television sets as well because the victory day commemorations in russia are incredibly important, perhaps the country s biggest sort of national holiday. and it really does ingender a huge sense of national pride. it s not meant to be about the situation today, whatever russia is doing. it s meant to be a commemoration of past glories and this huge sacrifice that russia and the soviet union made in fighting the nazis, a lot of people would have watched. matthew chance, appreciate it. thank you. perspective from washington post reporter katherine bell ton, who s written extensively about russia and vladimir putin, author of putin s people: how the kgb took on russia and then took on the west. i want to get your take on the victory day celebrations earlier today, the spectacle of it all, vladimir putin s messaging there. yeah, it seemed that really putin was digging in, everyone was expecting him to launch an
