Re: Victory Parade

Anyone know of a source for high resolution videos suitable for burning onto DVD? Would really like to watch this while sipping coffee and working on the forum

Re: Victory Parade

Pretty sure lots of you have already seen it, but here you can see 5 pages of the Victory Parade both in Russia and Ukraine. There are very good pictures of veterans wearing their awards and taken closely enough to appreciate some detail. Enjoy

Re: Victory Parade

Shame they didn't have any "veteran" vehicles. Nice to see a couple of "Umalatovas" set up in that close up. I wonder what committees created medals for this 66th Victory Parade.

Try more like at least 6 feet! And in Red Square the cobblestone is all covering tunnels that redirect the various rivers running through Moscow.

When I was there in the 1990s, each year when spring came, instead of repairing or replacing all the cracked and potholed roads and sidewalks after the long freezes, the city would just have workers lay a new level of asphalt over everything (the sidewalks grew by about four inches of unevenly applied black material each year and the original concrete had vanished in many places).

The geology of the Moscow region is truly amazing considering that some of the Metro lines actually run beneath rivers that are beneath the surface streets. All of that stuff underground and the city stands. You should hear those tanks rolling through the city streets - or should I say "feel" them.
