Around Moscow

More than 1 million people have marched in Moscow and tens of thousands of people have marched around the world to remember relatives who took part in World War Two. This year I also participated in the march and carried a portrait of my great-uncle, a Russian officer, WW2 veteran. More photos in my album The Immortal Regiment march, May 9

Is a holiday that commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945, and the WW2 ending. On this day it is customary to congratulate war veterans, to lay flowers at war memorials. Traditionally, many young people take part in the holiday. Concerts are held in the parks and squares. More photos in my album May 9, Victory Day

An extremely impressive infographic from the Russian Ministry of Defense will tell you everything about the parade on May 9, 2018, in Moscow. You will see complete information about each combat vehicle and aircraft.

A few days before the May 9 parade, it's rehearsal is being held. Accidentally, this year again I managed to take photos of the air parade rehearsal. I didn't even plan this shoot. I have been at a photo walk,  and I found myself in a small square, when helicopters and airplanes started to fly over me, heading to the Red Square. Traditionally, planes fly over the whole city, which makes it possible to see them almost from anywhere in Moscow. More photos in my album Parade rehearsal 2018
