Veterans of the war parading on Red Square.

The 2000 Moscow Victory Day Parade was held on 9 May 2000 to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the capitulation of Nazi Germany in 1945. The parade marks the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Particularities

[edit]

The parade was commanded by Colonel General Igor Puzanov, Commander of the Moscow Military District, and reviewed by the Minister of Defence, Marshal of the Russian Federation Igor Sergeyev. The historical part of the parade was commanded by the former Moscow Military District commander General of the Army Vladimir Govorov. A speech was made by the newly elected president Vladimir Putin. Unlike other jubilee parades, this one in particular did not see the attendance of foreign heads of state and government as well as foreign delegations.[1] This parade was the last to feature the old national anthem of Russia (used 1990-1991 by the Russian SFSR and 1991-2000 by the Russian Federation). It was also the last parade to feature veterans on foot.[2][3]

Troops participating in the parade

[edit]

Almost a third of the parade participants arrived in Moscow from the Commonwealth of Independent States and Baltic states.[4]

Music

[edit]

The parade on Red Square ended with the passage of the Combined Military Band consisting of the Central Military Band of the Ministry of Defense, the Headquarters of the Moscow Military District, and the Central Navy Band of Russia, numbering 600 musicians, under the direction of Lieutenant General Viktor Afanasyev.
