htmlMay 9 is the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Russian Patriotic War. This year, due to the epidemic, the Red Square military parade was postponed, and only the air military parade was retained in many cities such as Moscow. The "Immortal Legion" parade held in previous years (usually attended by Russian people holding photos or portraits of old soldiers) will be held online this year. More than 2 million people have expressed their desire to participate, and the relevant application portal will be open at 15:00 local time on the 9th.

Previously, on April 16, Putin said at a meeting with members of the Russian National Security Council that the Moscow Red Square parade originally scheduled to be held on May 9 was cancelled due to the impact of the epidemic, but Putin also stated that relevant activities will be held as soon as possible once the epidemic is over.
