Russian Video: The Victory Day Parade in Moscow, 2009!

The Victory Day Parade in Moscow

Victory Day Parade on Red Square is commemorating 64 years since the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Millions Russians watch this parade on TV the 9th of May every year. In many families watching this parade is what you call must. And I feel the same and every year my family and me always watch parade on Red Square. We watched Soviet ones, and we watched poor after-soviet parades (when our authorities tried to degrade the importance of The Victory). And now I am proud to watch revival of the beautiful and powerful parades on Red Square:

“The Victory parade grows in size every year, and this time it is the largest one seen since the fall of the Soviet Union.” (Russia Today)

Russian Video: Vodka Museum!

Hello,

Vodka I think is one of the most popular worldwide famous Russian words! But what we really know about vodka? Where is true and where is myths about vodka. Today with Russia Today we are going to visit a Museum of Vodka!

That will be interesting! And even for me! Being Russian and live here whole my life I never drank vodka

Best wishes and don’t drink vodka too much πŸ˜‰
