Nope, even the love parade bored me after an hour!
The only fairly interesting thing in our parades is the "frecce tricolori" aerobatic jets, the rest is bland and pointless. But then again, we don't even have a proper army to begin with
Gotta love communistic pomp. Line up proudly in uniform to die for your "country", when in reality it's just fat old men buried up to their noses in hookers and blow. Meanwhile, your real countrymen scratch their way by on the bare minimum.
Honestly though, this can be said for any of the superpowers, be it Russia, the US, or N. Korea. It's all just a big dick showing contest and waste of money.
My advice? Buy a firearm, learn to use it safely and efficiently, and try to become friends and build trust with your immediate neighbors. Anything more than that, in this day and age, is a waste of time.

True..but this specific parade is imo important.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
Military Parades are a symbol of nationalistic retardedness these days.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

"victory"...to remember and celebrate the end of WW2.
Tbh I think losing ~20.000.000 people during the war is enough reason to keep doing that parade. But hey, thats just me.
Are you also comemorating the Millions that died through stalinic cleansing? No? Oh yeah, that was just the USSR. Russia is democratic now.
Of course it was very fortunate, that the USSR wasnt on Hitlers side at the time and a good thing they crushed the Nazis on the Eastfront. I still find military parades in the 21st century hilariously retarded. Its obviously used as propaganda nowadays. (It has always been) If you want to comemorate your dead, build a monument for them and have a minute of silent reflection.
Whats funny aswell is how people like to distance themselves from the USSR, but when it comes to victory over Nazi-germany, suddenly its all the same again.
Go home Russian, you're drunk.

....You know...if I wanted a history lesson I would have asked for one.
I dont see it as a victory over nazi-germany. I see it as the end of a war that killed millions of people and destroyed parts of our world.

I really dont know what you do believe in. I'm just commenting on the retardedness (and the hypocrisy) of nationalistic military parades in the 21st century. I'd do the same if it were my country or any other doing that. I am glad the 2nd WW is over, but there are more humble ways of celebrating that.

Ah fair enough. I just thought your first post was specifically aimed at me.
I personally think its strange that people dont have a parade for the ones who died during the bombings of Germany. Or any non-nazi (wermacht and similar) who died during the war.

Its not like we are not commemorating our fallen/deported from the 2nd WW here, but its only quite recently that we are beginning to tell our kids in school that not all of our people were heroes/resistance fighters but quite to the contrary. People dont like to be reminded about the bad side of their history.
Its ok if you want to commemorate your fallen soldiers, but if they fell, when at the other side there were gulags run by the "same" government that put those soldiers on the field then thats somewhat weird. I think the 2nd WW is as dark a chapter of Russian history as it is for Germany, but since they came out "winning" it is judged differently.
You think it strange that people dont have parades for their fallen? Imagine Germany having a military parade for their fallen soldiers during WW2. The international uproar that would be...
But you said you didnt want to talk history, so lets just agree to disagree here. Its ok to have different opinions.
