  1. No respectable person would even think of going there…only thugs

  4. We should honor the people who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms that we have today. If not for them many would be speaking German

    Edit: people shouldn’t forget the millions of lives that were lost, the USSR was not just Russia .

  5. The USSR didn’t liberate eastern Europe. They just replaced one tyrannical regime with another.

  6. Such a juicy and justified military target. I’d stay away.

  8. Anyone who says the Soviets were not objectively preferable to the Nazis is just huffing propaganda. The Slavs were staring down the barrel of mass extermination.

  11. Wonder if Zelensky will be sending any drones to participate in this parade?

  14. Hopefully Ukraine can interrupt it instead of words.
    It’s the best target they could aim for.

  15. This parade also honors the 6 million Ukrainian soldiers who played a part in the USSR’s defeat of Nazi Germany. So, are Ukrainians boycotting their own ancestors?

  18. russia didn’t liberate anyone after WW2, they just enslaved them, same as the nazis did.

    OK, they were less technological about mass murder, just shipped people off to Siberia to die of hunger instead of using Zyklon B.

    And let’s not forget they started WW2 together with the nazis, though the molotov-ribbentrop pact.

  19. I realy don’t get it Ukrain was part of the USSR and fought nazi Germany .
    How can they hait on victory day .
    it’s a spit in the face for every veteran that still lives in Ukraine

  20. Russia does have right to celebrate the victory or commemorate of the losses from the world war 2 just like anyone else, especially given how many people died fighting the Nazis, calling Russia one of the liberators of Europe alongside Ukraine, Belarus, and other previous Eastern Bloc countries such as Poland is not an overstatement.

    However the current victory parade is more diverted to strong imperialistic values and more about “we can have another triumph again” and used more for the purpose of justification what Russia had been doing since 2014 – this is problematic, because this is the same taste of fascism that Hitler’s Germany had , and literally the opposing ideology of what victory means for Soviet Union and Europe in the post WW-2.

  21. For a country that praises the Japanese emperor and the perpetrators of massacres, making such an argument isn’t all that surprising.
