Note: this year I decided to post the original Russian audio version because I believe that it has a much stronger “punch” then any version with English-language comments. Oh, and the “Red Square” is a mistranslation. While “Krasnaia” nowadays does indeed mean “red” at the time the square was built the word “krasnaia” meant “beautiful”. Enjoy!

No, I won’t smile and congratulate anymore. THERE IS NO VICTORY!
How can we celebrate a “victory” which was given away by fools, naives and more so outright TRAITORS??? Civilians in DonBass (Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan etc etc etc) keep dying for nothing. To stubbornly continue partying “same procedure as every year [dinner for one]” will rather earlier than later backfire, this way or the other … It was the same policy which brought Communism to fall in eastern societies, as more and more people felt the disconnect between state propaganda versus reality.

Not only it this nonsense, but you are yelling (by using CAPS which the moderators should have banned). Martin, please cool down, chill, take a breather and take it easy. Hyberbole, grand words and categorical statements are not really very interesting. I much prefer quiet and thought-through analysis, okay?
Thanks,
The Saker
@Grand Saker: Who the hell are you if it doesn’t make your blood boil, as it should (if you are sincerely a friend of Russia) ?
With traitors I was referring to Gorbachev and Yeltsin btw.
But come forward and protect them, too.

What can be done to free occupied “Germany” from Z-US Fascism???
I wished the Red Army would “invade” and free my neighborhood.
But they cannot always do the work and die for nothing, while the rest of the world watches Fox-News or soccer while drinking beer and making primitive jokes about Russia.
This planet is *doomed*.

I forgot 2 of my all-time most favorite songs:
День Победы 2015 – День Победы – Лев Лещенко – Концерт на Красной площади
(Victory Day, sung by hero Lev Leshenko) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ2q5ALTXNM
Also sung by him, a few moments earlier, back in good old 1975 :
И Ленин такой молодой, Лев Лещенко – Песня 75
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6M29z9Na4E
Enjoy!

very good lists,a lot of songs,thanks Martin.If I may,I would like to offer you to watch the German-Russian co-production “4 Tage im Mai” spoken in russian and german.On youtube is only a trailer,maybe you can find it somewhere.
And a happy victory-remembering day for all of you !
Thanks ioan, actually I attempt to forget all german words I know, but I can check what it is.
But first here something back to you: The glorious Era of Stalin in the Soviet Union 2/3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38iYQETTeSQ
Video with Russian songs from WW2. It is 80 minutes long and illustrated with photos from the time. It is in Russian with German subtitles posted by Antimaidan deutsch just yesterday.

Wishing all Russian patriots and humanists a memorable Victory Day celebration !
This stage is set for patriots like Scott and humanists like Martin from S.E.B. to continue their celebration (even if they feel there is no reason for celebration).
We the Eurasians know that, when such a wonderful creation of God, “Russia” is around, human civilisation will continue to thrive. So, we also celebrate this great day !
This will make you smile.
‘Little General’: Troops salute a kid in Moscow on V-Day
An aunt filmed nephew son during a Victory Day parade rehearsal in Moscow. The kid stood still for several minutes while troops were passing by. The aunt wrote on Facebook that she was so proud of her “little general.”

So, krasivyy parad!.
What a beautiful day ( although a bit too hot for the guys, I fear ) and what a beautiful people parading, so joyful, really uplifting.
I enjoyed a lot seeing how much they enjoy.
The quality of images is increasingly good, just amazing, it seemed as if I could go with Comrade Shoigu in his car….
Comrade Putin must have been protected from the sun, we do not want nothing happening to him.
Uraaaa, Uraaaa, Uraaaaaa!!!
i notice that Russian vets seem entirely unpsychotic, unlike most vets I see in the USA and Canada.
Perhaps it is because their cause was entirely just. The whole even utterly lacks the sinister over and undertones of similar events in the West… though come to think of it, what has the West really got to celebrate?
Love the smiling faces on the troops. the pace, the pride, honor and dignity of the Russian people. Ura! Ura! Ura! Indeed.
Watch an olympic games opening ceremony, and the athletes from most nations parade in a calm, civilised manner. When the US team enters the stadium, it looks like 15 year olds start parading, shouting, jumping around in an adolescent manner.
They can not be strong. It is obvoius.
There is no diversity.
So there.
As I have written before, Russia’s real victory lies in the future; not this, which belonged to the Gog and Magog Empires of the USSR and the Modern West.

“(…) You will see many videos of how it was celebrated May 9 in Russia, but I am going to focus on a locality, Novosibirsk. It has 1.6 million inhabitants and since 2014 is ruled by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, whose candidacy won the 43’75% of the vote compared to 39’54% achieved by United Russia, Putin’s party. The video is long, three-quarters of an hour, but only put it as a sign of what is happening in Russia. The iconography is important.
Includes the video of Immortal Regiment in Novosibirsk.The video is 45 minutes long but has no waste.
I cried throughout all the parade (and not just me, you can see how the woman narrating goes from emotion at some point directly to tears not being able to stop mourning during all the act ) because these simple proletarian people gives me hope that fascism has no place at least in some parts of the world. They may impose it by force, but people will rise up, some in the first row will fall, but others will come behind them, and then more, and more …. That’s what I’ve seen on the faces of the people, in that joy provided by the conviction of being on the right side of events and history and the feeling of that the much invested and lost in the struggle against fascism was not in vain and the clear determination that they would do it again. That’s what I see in that solidarity is felt in the environment and is what moves so much.
I did not know that the Communist Party was ruling in Novosibirsk, and had never seen so many Communists together in my life. A few weeks ago I was commenting that I felt lately a little like the Ugly duck, a little out of pot, in this blog, and I wondered where my ducks would be, finding myself quite strange and confused for some articles, the news that Comrade Putin is definitely a liberal ( thesis also corroborated in his last article by Alexander Mercouris for The Duran published here ) and some commentators who do not miss an opportunity to attack me for my communist ideas.
Well…. here they are my ducks…. in Novosibirsk….., and I think that’s why I cried so much, recognizing myself among these simple people, so much worked, those who never get rich working and always are dying in wars. Maybe I should be accepting those acres of land Comrade Putin is giving for free to those who want to settle in Siberia, foreigners included …..
At the moment I can not do it, although it seems a unique opportunity, but right now there is someone who still needs me here. In fact, I was going to participate in the Immortals Parade in San Sebastian, with my T-shirt of the Prizrak Brigade in honor of Comrade Mozgovoi and all fallen in Donbass and Odessa fighting fascism, but finally I could not go because my mother is hospitalized since Saturday.
Next year, if I can, I will not fail, and now also, a year of these, I will try to be in Novosibirsk on May 9. If these lovely parade touched me so much from my computer at home, I can not imagine how it will be there live……
Here the video:

Good luck and all the Best to your Mother, comrade Elsi!!!
p.s. I will probably move to Tiraspol. My final escape to not pay German NATO-TV fees (without actually having a TV). Meanwhile they want 2000 EUR.
The last piece of real Soviet Union there.

As a citizen of ex- Yugoslavia failed state this victory day parade gives me hope and reasurance that evil will not win!!!
