| I found it interesting that they're marching as the Soviet army, not the Russian army, complete with hammer & sickle and CCCP.
The article does raise some good arguments that this parade is nothing more than a propaganda tool. The Russian military is still plagued by financial and manpower shortages. This parade doesn't fool us in the West, but it must be a great domestic propaganda tool and morale booster for the Russian people, to make them feel great again just like the good old days.
