VOR Presents… The Tanks Rumbled Through Red Square

On 7 November, a military parade on Red Square will mark the 70th anniversary of the Red October parade in 1941. On Tuesday, 1 November, there was a dress rehearsal for the event. Soldiers dressed in the uniforms of that terrible time marched over the Kremlin‘s pavement.

******

Next Monday, we’ll see real equipment that took part in the VOV in the re-enactment parade on Red Square. Workshops in the region around Moscow carried out the restoration work.

******

On 7 November, soldiers dressed in VOV-era uniforms, together with such legendary tanks as T-34s and T-60s, will parade across Red Square.
