Moscow's Red Square hosts Victory Day parade with hardware, troops

A military parade involving almost 8,000 personnel, 111 sophisticated tracked and wheeled military vehicles, as well as 32 aircraft and helicopters was launched on Moscow's Red Square at 10:00 a.m. Moscow time (06:00 GMT) on Friday, when Russia celebrates Victory Day.

Victory Day marks the final surrender by Nazi Germany to the U.S.S.R. in WWII, often referred to as the Great Patriotic War in Russia and other states in the former Soviet Union.

Moscow's Military District Commander, General of the Army Vladimir Bakin, is running the parade, which was addressed by President Dmitry Medvedev, whose inauguration took place on Wednesday.

CELEBRATING, CELEBRATING,CELEBRATING a great victory

-- inspite of not being ready for war and having to fight the NAZIS practically alone.

-- inspite of traitors in the Baltics and western Ukraine who fought with the Nazis who were enslaving Ukrainians along with other slavic people and putting up signs in Kiev which read,
"Dogs and Ukrainians not allowed".

--Who handed the NAZIS their greatest losses and who are the real winners over the NAZIs with a little help from British Bombers and a belated after thought from the Americans who got there just in time to grab a coattail and get in on the glory.

--who are going to be strong enough to secure their borders and keep out the carpetbagging robber barons from the west.

--Who fought the NAZIS while some of your beloved western Ukrainians were kissing up to the Germans and helping them guard the concentration and death camps.

They deserve their Day of Victory parade as the winners of the Great patriotic war.

And if you don't like it, go grumble and spew hatred. It won't ruin this day for Russia.

LOL! A true Russachka! You're not the first person to make the mistake of thinking that. Ask her -- she will deny it, but then she'll go on about how she *adores* Russia and understands the *Slavic Soul*, etc., etc. You might like it at first, but I'm betting you'll get a little uncomfortable when have to find a stick to protect your posterior...

The first Roman Creasers were Ukrainians. Ukrainian and at the same time was also Jesus Christ, and also Saint Maria and practically all apostles, except for Judas. These Bible characters, certainly, spoke Ukrainian. Galilee and Gali-china are practically the same.(From Saint Peter's Message to people of Prepontida). But it was exactly Ukrainians who lived on the Black Sea Coast named Prepontida. It is convincingly proved Jesus Christ is our direct ancestor. The words "Ukraine" itself did not exist yet. But let's look at the word "Galichina". Jesus Christ comes from Galilee. Do not you see it is the same name? The Qumran manuscripts found in Israel, directly say who they was by nationality, Galilee Ukrainians. Another nonsense is Jesus spoke Aramaic language which was the Semite. But some of my friends live in Israel, they study at universities. I have asked them to learn about it. And they have told Jesus Christ does not have a status of Jew officially until now. He was crucified because he was not Jewish who claimed Jewish Kingdom? Pontius Pilates has refused to judge him because he was Galilean and not from Judea. And the Tyrant did not wish to be involved into international scandal with neighbouring powerful Ukrainian Empire. And Saint Maria was not Jewish as well as her husband Joseph. Where did you see Jewish carpenters? It proves they were Ukrainians. There is no any Anti-Semitism here because Ukrainian people and Jewish people are very connected genetically, culturally and Ukrainians were those who blessed Jews to the civilization. We, pre-Jewish Ancient Ukrainians had a belief in the God and the Saint Cross even when the cross did not exist yet. I completely deny Jesus belonged to the Semitic tribes. He was from pure Aryan pre-Ukrainian tribes. The tribes of Aryans came from Galichina and have settled in Galilee. They have founded the Faith and the sects. Jesus Christ is a great Ukrainian who spoke Ukrainian language which you call "Sanskrit". All the European "languages" have its origin from the Ukrainian. And legendary Aryans actually are ancient Ukr-Aryans and the first ploughmen of the world who has tamed a horse, invented wheel and plough. In contemporary Galichina, many of Ukrainians consider Jesus Christ as their relatives. It is the best proof he was Ukrainian as well. Another mistake is the opinion that Jewish people were chosen by God. But it is impossible to understand any language up to the end, it is impossible to define its sources without knowledge of the Ukrainian language. In the basis, Sanskrit was a spoiled Ukrainian language. If one does not speak Ukrainian, he will understand neither Portuguese nor German properly. In Sanskrit, we have a poem "Ukrayana Hamayana " and it is one more proof of Ukrainian origin of ancient Aryans. Let us recall the last words of Jesus. As it was written in the Gospel, Jesus yelled in loud voice: " Or, Or! Ili, Ili! Lama savahvani?" You can understand it only using translation from Ukrainian. The phrase is crooked Ukrainian phrase: "Oh! Oh! Bili, bili! Lamali sami havali!” English translation of the senesce is “Oh. They bet, bet! Broke me and ate me!”(Mathew, 27; 46-47). In fact it happened because he spoke foreign for Jews language, Ukrainian Sanskrit.
By the way, the leader of Huns, Attila was an ordinary Ukrainian warrior. His name in Ukrainian sounds as Hatila, from Ukrainian “hatet”,“to want”. The matter was Ukrainians have great sexual power and always want women. But Women often do not like Ukrainians because they like pork fat. And Ukrainians are always in sexual abstinence. They always “hatet” women i. e.“want” for women. Thence, he was Hatila or Attila for uneducated wild European tribes. And even the Neanderthals spoke Ancient Ukrainian language. There is a theory stipulating Ukrainians is a separate more advanced better branch of mankind but it was not proved yet completely and thence is not accepted by Ukrainian historic scholars yet.

You are really lame, using a proxy server and posing as someone else. I live in Minneapolis, Dickhead.

Oh, and your comments about Galichina being 'Gali-China' would actually be funny -- if you weren't so lame.

"The German-Soviet Trade Agreement (also referred to as the Nazi-Soviet Trade Agreement, see the external reference below) was an economic arrangement between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed on August 19, 1939. It was negotiated during talks between Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov and German foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop leading to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

Germany granted the Soviet Union a merchandise credit of 200 million Reichsmarks to be financed by the German Golddiskontbank. This loan would be 100% guaranteed by the German government and entail an interest rate of 5%; extremely favorable terms at the time.

The credit was to be used to finance Soviet orders in Germany to include machinery, manufactured goods, war materials and hard currency.

The credit was to be repaid by Soviet raw materials with delivery to start immediately upon signature. Such materials would include items vital to the German military, notably phosphate, platinum, petroleum, cotton and feed grain. The most important raw materials are the following:

1,000,000 tons of grain for cattle, and of legumes, in the amount of 120 million Reichsmarks
900,000 tons of mineral oil in the amount of approximately 115 million Reichsmarks
100,000 tons of cotton in the amount of approximately 90 million Reichsmarks
500,000 tons of phosphates
100,000 tons of chrome ores
500,000 tons of iron ore
300,000 tons of scrap iron and pig iron
2,400 kg. of platinum Manganese ore, metals, lumber, and numerous other raw materials.
The Soviet Union also agreed to act as an intermediary in order to procure war material Germany needed but that the Soviets could not indigenously produce.

Basically, this agreement paved the way to World War II.

Germany credited the trade pact with significantly weakening the British naval blockade that had been established after Germany's invasion of Poland. In World War I, the blockade had caused famine and shortages in Germany, leading to the loss."
