After the majestic parade celebrating the 24th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution on November 7, 1941 with the participation of about 28,000 people, the Red Army soldiers marched from Red Square straight to the front to defend the capital Moscow during the Great Patriotic War.
The parade included about 5,000 people selected from several companies of the Ministry of Defense, the Presidential Regiment's guards, cadets from military schools, military bands and members of military history clubs dressed in Soviet Red Army uniforms and carrying weapons used during World War II, recreating the 1941 parade as much as possible.

Traditionally, the Kremlin clock chimes and the song “Sacred War” open the parade. What is special this year is that for the first time in history, the 1941 parade will be recreated, and a replica of the Victory Banner that once flew over the German Parliament, symbolizing the glory and great sacrifice of the Red Army soldiers to destroy fascism, will be carried across the Kremlin wall.
The program ended with a display of tanks, armored vehicles and vehicles that participated in the war, especially the famous “Kachiusa” artillery system that became a symbol of the invincible power of the Red Army.
