On May 9, at the Millennium Square in Kazan, solemn events dedicated to the 77th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet People in the Great Patriotic War began at 10.00 with the formation of the personnel of the troops of the Kazan garrison. Their culmination was the military parade of the Kazan garrison.
This year, the live broadcast of the Victory Day Parade from Red Square in Moscow took place again, during which the address of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin was made. As part of the festive event, the solemn passage of the troops of the Kazan garrison took place.
On behalf of the State Council and the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan, on his own behalf, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov cordially congratulated war veterans, home front workers, military personnel of the Kazan garrison on the 77th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Military equipment of the war years, as well as modern equipment – armored cars, armored personnel carriers and KAMAZ trucks - also passed through the Millennium Square. In addition, retro cars of the war years also passed through the square.
Participation in the parade of retro cars in honor of Victory Day is the most honorable reason for the fire department's "auto-cabal" to get off the pedestal and go on a flight.
