November, 7th. Still a Holiday

Well, ok, it's the 7th of November. And it looks like the Russian government found how to go on celebrating this date! It is not the Day of the Great October Socialist Revolution any more, but now it's the Day of Military Glory!
In 1941, the first year of the Great Patriotic War, on November, 7th on the Red Square there was held a parade. It was a historical event. Stalin gave a speech in front of the troops, they marched through the Red Square and departed from there straight to the battlefront.
In commemoration of this historical parade, a parade on the Red Square was held today, too. People send greetings and flowers to veterans of that war.
In this picture you can see the troops marching under the statue of Minin and Pozharsky on the Red Square.


Here  you can see how it went. Even if you don't understand Russian that well, you can still have a look at the parade!
